The Village of Enon has received 20 applications for the position of Village Administrator. At their meeting this week, they also announced changes to the community participation committees of Planning and Board of Zoning Appeals.
Repairs to the Main Street water tower have been completed by village crews who had to retrofit a new valve at a cost of $7,000. By doing the work with Village crews the estimated cost of $20,000 was reduced. The original valve dated back to 1958.
At their meeting, the Mad River Township Trustees announced that there is a matter before the Clark County zoning board regarding a change for a plot of land located near the O’Reilly Auto Parts and UDF store for a store and lock facility. The zoning desired is B4 which could invite less desirable forms of business to the area.
The trustees agreed to place a fire and EMS renewal levy on the May ballot.
An independent report on the call for emergency services was provided at the meeting. Trustees entered an executive session prior to the report being made public at the meeting.
The investigation into the 40 minute delayed response in early January was completed by the Chief from Miami Township in Greene County. In his report he noted that he had listened to the call tapes and reported that there was no intentional delay in the response.
The report given to the township trustees did indicate that the use of in home dispatchers needs to be addressed as this is no longer the current industry standard. He encouraged them to consider moving to a larger network system.
The Enon Eagle is able to confirm all of the information reported in another news media outlet based on public records requests made regarding the sudden departure of a large number of paramedics and fire fighters from the department.
The Eagle however could not confirm the statement made to a news outlet suggesting that this was “common” during a change in administration. In review of our reporting, there were few if any resignations of this type when Chief Leist was removed from his position and the resignation of Chief Young led to no resignations of this type.
