BOSTON TOWNSHIP

The Boston Township minutes are posted on our website at www.bostontownship.organd outside the office of the Fiscal Officer in the Boston Township Hall. Our meetings are not currently being covered by The West Side Leader.

Zoning Update: To contact Zoning Inspector Ruben Miller, please leave a message at (330) 657-2601. Also, until further notice, the Zoning Commission will be having a work session at 5:30PM, prior to their regular meeting, on the second Tuesdays of each month. They are working with zoning consultant Fred Guerra on revisions to the resolution.

Road Department: Tenille Craig, our part-time Seasonal Maintenance Worker, left the township for a full-time opportunity. We recently brought on Sebastian Graham as Seasonal Maintenance Worker to assist our (also part-time) Assistant Road Superintendent, Jon Farmer. Regarding the vacant Road Superintendent position, the trustees have received twenty-four resumes (and counting). These will take some time to process. Brush chipping has begun for the summer. It is scheduled for the first Monday of the month (weather permitting), but due to our staffing level, every home may not get picked up all on the same day. When cleaning up your yard, place cut ends toward the road. Please, no dirt balls, no foreign materials such as lumber, nails, or any type of wire. This service is for limb trimming and storm clean-up. It is not for full tree removal. Please remember that it is the responsibility of the property owner to keep the ditch free of any material that can restrict the flow of storm water.

Grants: Through the Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) Boston Township has been notified that we should receive $45,467.25 in fiscal year 2029 for improvements to the Boston Township portion of Scobie Road. The township`s matching share is $5,055.25. We have not received word on two other grant applications. One would provide funding to reduce the amount of salt run-off from snowplows and in the maintenance yard. The second is to help reduce the number of recyclables and compostables from the waste stream. Finally, we pulled our grant application to install a generator at the township hall. That grant required completed electrical engineering to proceed, which we did not have.
