Ashbrook Estates resident, Richard Richmond, addressed the Mad River Trustees on Monday night on behalf of his neighbors.  The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is planning to add lanes on the stretch of Interstate 70 between Enon and Springfield.  Richmond said that the residents currently endure lots of road noise and fumes, and that problem will increase with the new construction.  ODOT sent the residents a letter saying that noise abatement structures will not be erected near the subdivision.  Richmond said that he has made some contact with individuals within ODOT, but he requested that the township try to arrange a meeting to discuss alternatives.  Trustee Kathy Estep will be attending Thursday’s meeting of the county Transportation Coordinating Committee and said she would try to find a point of contact to address the community’s concerns.
Enon Fire Chief Dave Leist presented the trustees with an agreement between the township and Clark State to trade the old engine number 2 to the college, for two paramedic classes and 16 hours of training for his department at the new training tower.  Before a resolution approving the deal, Trustees Joe Catanzaro and Bob McClure commended the chief for his negotiations, which netted an extra class and six more hours of training than CSCC had originally offered.  The trustees also finalized an agreement with the county to trade an unused road brush for $6,500 worth of road services.  This was also a much better result than the original amount offered by the county.  Catanzaro had the minutes amended to reflect the original cash offer of $500, while praising McClure’s efforts.  For his part, McClure deflected the praise, saying that he simply researched the equipment’s worth before agreeing to the swap.
Cemetery supervisor Don O’Connor said that the memorial trees purchased by residents had arrived and would be planted next week.  The first planting will include nine trees.  Mowing is nearly finished along the township’s roads, which will reduce the problem of snowdrifts when the weather worsens.
Loretta Lawrence complained about some unspecified off-hours activity at the cemetery.  The trustees said that there was an investigation taking place, and that they could make no public comment for now.  Upon Ned Clark’s questioning, McClure said that there was no criminal activity involved and that there would be more information at a later date.  Catanzaro said that the issue was a family matter, and that the family’s privacy was the reason for declining comment.  The next meeting will take place November 21, at 7:30 p.m.
