The Staunton Township Trustees approved a contract with Derek Stafford Mowing for the 2016 ditch and cemetery mowing at their March 21 meeting. The contract specifies that the value cannot exceed $8,500 without approval by the trustees.

The trustees also received notification from the Miami County Engineer’s Office (MCEO) to participate in the 2016 Asphalt, Concrete Resurfacing, Chip Seal, Fog Seal and Pavement Marking Program. Trustees Jeff Cron and Bill Gearhart will drive the township roads to check on the conditions and will notify MCEO by March 31 of the roads that need work in the township.

The trustees also will request a quote from J & A Construction, Inc. to crack seal all of the township roads and the township building parking lot.

In other business, the trustees agreed to purchase signs and posts to be placed at the township limits notifying motorists that they are entering Staunton Township. The signs will be purchased with the Managing Ohio Risk Exposures (MORE) grant, which is a $500 grant designed to eliminate or prevent risk exposures in townships.

Account Manager Michelle Crockett from Burnham & Flower Insurance Group gave a presentation to the trustees on employee benefits from the Public Employee Benefit Association.

The next meeting of the Staunton Township Trustees is scheduled for April 4, 2016 at the township building.
