The Board of Trustees of Sugarcreek Township, Greene County, Ohio, met in Work Session on
July 6, 2015, at 5:30 p.m., at 2090 Ferry Road, Sugarcreek Township, Ohio 45305.
1. Mrs. Daugherty called the meeting to order at 5:30 pm.
2. Mr. Hodson called the roll with Board Members Nadine Daugherty, Mike Pittman and Scott Bryant
being present. Mr. Tiffany, Township Administrator, and Fiscal Officer Ted Hodson were also
present.
Mr. Hodson provided the Board with a brief review of the preliminary proposed budget for 2016. He
said we have undetermined revenue increases from our Clyo T.I.F. and CAUV recoup-age from new
development properties so we will have revenue adjustments to make before our final appropriations.
He said the budget to be presented to the County Budget Commission will be about the same as last
years. He said we are still working on changes to the 2016 Fire Department budget to cut costs and
are still trimming 2015 to improve our carry over for 2016. Mr. Hodson said once the August tax
disbursement is received we will know our revenue increases for 2015 and will make budget changes
accordingly.
Mr. Tiffany said we have a couple of Fire issues. He said the Air Packs have not been tested for four
years. He said of forty-one (41) air packs we have nine (9) in front-line service and the remainder
need tested. Mr. Tiffany said the end-of-life for the air packs is next year and it will cost Two
Hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) to replace them.
Mr. Tiffany also said the master intake valve on the new ladder truck was put on from another truck.
He said it had been dropped and the valve won't open all the way. Mr. Tiffany said it will need
replaced. He said he didn't understand why we put this piece of equipment on the truck in the first
place.
Mr. Tiffany said Chief Pavlak is still driving the Command Vehicle and wanted to make it available
to the shift commander as a front line vehicle because of the communications. The Board said they
were okay with doing so.
Mrs. Daugherty moved to adjourn to Executive Session at 6:06 pm to discuss litigation. Mr. Pittman
seconded. Roll was called with the vote being as follows:
Mr. Pittman – Yes
Mrs. Daugherty – Yes
Mr. Bryant - Yes
The meeting resumed at 6:48 pm with no action taken and promptly adjourned.
Theodore L. Hodson, Fiscal Officer
