No Injuries Reported From Truck Fire

Traffic came to a halt around 10 a.m. July 31 near the intersection of Mayfield and County Line roads when the cab of a double-axel dump truck caught fire in Chester Town ship.

The truck, which was traveling eastbound, overheated at the top of the hill, Chester Fire Chief William Shaw said.

“When we arrived on scene, the cab of the truck was fully involved,” he said.

One driver who was stuck in a line of traffic behind the burning vehicle reported hearing explo sions, which Shaw said was likely the truck’s tires bursting due to the heat of the fire.

Shaw said there were no inju ries, but the driver was transport ed to an area hospital by Mayfield Village Fire Department. Mayfield Village and Gates Mills fire depart ments provided mutual aid at the scene.

Perennial Gardeners Bloom With Success

Submitted

The Perennial Gardeners of Chesterland strives to be a successful working club that also gives back to the community. Over the past couple months, they’ve been busy doing just that.

Club members teamed up with the Daisy Scout troops of St. Anselm School for their annual planting of Parkside Park and the bandstand in late May. Perennial members will continue to care for and maintain the area all summer long.

In addition to beautifying the park, the Perennial Gardeners were also recognized with multiple awards at the annual Garden Club of Ohio (GCO) Convention event this year. The GCO currently consists of 113 member clubs across Ohio.

The GCO awarded the Perennial Gardeners three second-place awards for:

• Their Facebook page, which provides gardening tips and infor-

mation and opens the lines of communication with the public;

• Horticultural education by offering countless educational opportunities through guest speakers, field trips and monthly meetings that are open to the public to attend;

• Butterfly Puddlers that members created using thrifted glassware for their gardens.

The club also earned third-place awards for their monthly newsletter, promotion of National Garden Week display and their program book.

In addition, the Perennial Gardeners received 18 individual photography awards. Club members Christine Pappas, Susie Szabo and Gwenn Zoeller earned first place for their stunning garden photo submissions.

Overall, the Perennial Gardeners of Chesterland earned an honorable mention in the Top Garden Club (medium-sized) category statewide.

Staff RepoRt

Probate judges from across Ohio’s 88 counties selected Geauga County Probate Judge Tim Grendell president-elect of the Ohio Probate Judges Association for the 2023-2025 term. Grendell was previously elected president of the Ohio Association of Juvenile Court Judges and currently serves on the executive committees of the Ohio Judicial Conference and the National College of Probate Judges, said court Administrator Kim Laurie in a statement, adding the latter

committee — and its accompanying NCPJ Journal, of which Grendell is editor — serves probate judges throughout the U.S.

“It is an honor to continue to serve Ohio probate judges on the board of the Ohio Association of Probate Judges, whose mission is to provide continuing education and training for the judges, deputy clerks, court investigators and magistrates of Ohio’s 88 counties,” Grendell said in a statement. “I appreciate and do not take lightly this important responsibility that my fellow probate judges have entrusted to me.”

The Chester Township Board of Trustees held a public hearing on July 11 to review the proposed 2024 temporary appropriations.

The board reviewed in general the 2024 planned expenditures. Representatives from all departments were present to provide input. There was discussion and a motion was approved to return the inside millage from the road department to the general fund and re-allocating those funds either through advances or transfers as needed. A motion was passed approving the 2024 Chester Township Budget with expenditures in the amount of $9,373,052.20.

The public hearing was then closed and a special meeting of the board of trustees was opened to address several issues within the Chester Road Department, including staffing shortage. A motion was approved to advertise for a mechanic 1 to assist the lead mechanic and provide other support within the road department. A motion was also approved for the assistant road superintendent job description and to add it to the township’s policy manual.

A section of Heath Road alongside the Chagrin River has been experiencing ongoing severe deterioration. There was discussion about closing this section of the road into a single lane because of the slippage. More review and discussion will follow.

For the police department, a motion was approved to add the job description of school security officer and include it in the Chester Employee Manual.

On July 13, a regular meeting of the board of trustees was held beginning with approval of a memorandum of understanding by and

Chester Government Update

between the West Geauga School District and the Chester Township Board of Trustees for the addition of officers to the Chester Police Department.

Next, the board approved the hiring of Karen Sweet as the new school safety officer for the police department. Police Chief Craig Young spoke of Officer Sweet’s prior work experience and that she will be a great asset to the department.

West Geauga School Superintendent Richard Markwardt spoke briefly in favor of the SSO position and praised how well the school board and township have worked together to support student safety.

During public comments, a resident spoke of the West Geauga Kiwanis July 4th parade and what a great experience it was to participate and that he appreciated the hard work of the Kiwanians.

Next, Barry Leven, of the West Geauga Pickleball Club, provided an update on the status of the pickleball courts. After the original bids were rejected for being too costly

at more than $200,000, Leven and Trustee Ken Radtke worked together to reduce the scope of work. Recent changes in Ohio law also enable a project to be completed without public bidding if the cost of the project is less than $75,000. The reduced scope eliminated lighting along with some other changes to get the estimated project cost below statutory bid limit. Quotes will be solicited from various local contractors and we hope to finalize this project soon.

In other business, the township was credited $4,000 towards employee lockers for the fire station because of a delay associated with the fire station renovation. Repairs to the underground gasoline tank pump system were discussed as well as a joint project with Gates Mills to replace failing road culvert pipes in advance of paving County Line Road next year.

A motion was approved to donate some binders to the Geauga Engineering and Robotics 4-H Club.

There was discussion about how residential properties are currently used at Met-

zenbaum and what potential future changes may occur. To get a better understanding of current, planned and future uses of the property, a joint meeting with the Chester Board of Trustees, Geauga County Commissioners, Geauga Board of Developmental Disabilities and Geauga County Board of Mental Health was proposed and Trustee Radtke will reach out and coordinate a meeting.

Monies in the amount of $8,025 were approved for new windows to be installed at town hall.

At the recommendation of the prosecutor, revised language for the certificates of need required for the upcoming fire and police levies was approved.

A memorandum of understanding between the township, county commissioners and the Geauga County Engineer was approved for them to continue managing Chester Township’s Phase 2 Stormwater Program.
