Veterans issues discussed at forum<br />

Council discusses<br />

intersection safety<br />

ÁContinued from page 1<br />

fire chief’s vehicle is nearing<br />

the end of its life cycle and<br />

has about 181,000 miles. <strong>The</strong><br />

committee directed him to<br />

investigate what vehicles are<br />

available.<br />

•<strong>The</strong> chief informed the<br />

committee that he applied for<br />

a Bureau of Workers’ Compensation<br />

grant to obtain an<br />

automatic patient life/load<br />

device for both squads.<br />

If the grant is approved,<br />

the city’s match would be<br />

$29,000.<br />

Councilman Staczek<br />

questioned how many workers’<br />

compensation claims<br />

were filed within the past<br />

five years relating to back<br />

injuries from lifting patients,<br />

and was told “possibly one<br />

or none.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong> committee considered<br />

this a low priority item,”<br />

the councilman said.<br />

If the grant money is<br />

awarded, the committee can<br />

decide whether or not to<br />

accept the funds.<br />

Other Business<br />

In other business, council:<br />

•Approved the annual<br />

request from the <strong>Rossford</strong><br />

High School DECA program<br />

to hold the Halloween parade<br />

on Sunday, October 27 at 2<br />

p.m. <strong>The</strong> theme will be “<strong>The</strong><br />

Jungle.”<br />

•Heard the second reading<br />

of five ordinances amending<br />

the zoning code concerning<br />

maximum building heights,<br />

driveway regulations, size<br />

and placement of accessory<br />

structures.<br />

<strong>The</strong> planning commission<br />

voted last month to recommend<br />

that council approve<br />

all the changes.<br />

Council’s next meeting<br />

will be at 7 p.m., Monday,<br />

September 23, at the municipal<br />

building, 133 Osborn<br />

Street. <strong>The</strong> meeting is open<br />

to the public.<br />

VA keeps an open line of<br />

communication with our veterans<br />

and that they are aware<br />

of what resources are available<br />

to them,” Congressman<br />

Latta said.<br />

“Our veterans have honored<br />

their commitments to<br />

this nation, and it must<br />

remain a top priority that we<br />

ensure veterans receive the<br />

benefits they were promised<br />

and have rightfully earned.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> forum provided guidance<br />

and assistance for veterans<br />

who need support for<br />

their claims applications and<br />

completing necessary documents.<br />

It also offered information<br />

on resources available to<br />

help them and their families,<br />

including recent initiatives of<br />

the VA to improve the delivery<br />

of benefits to veterans.<br />

Mr. Latta held a similar<br />

forum in Defiance earlier<br />

that day.<br />

Twp. zoning<br />

commission<br />

approves<br />

two requests<br />

At the September 9 meeting,<br />

the Perrysburg Township<br />

zoning commission approved<br />

two zoning requests.<br />

George Oravecz, consulting<br />

engineer for Redwood<br />

Acquisition LLC, requested a<br />

minor modification to Barrington<br />

Place Two.<br />

<strong>The</strong> commission had<br />

approved the original plan at<br />

its October 9 meeting, but the<br />

applicant returned to request<br />

an increase in the size of a<br />

proposed accessory building.<br />

<strong>The</strong> structure originally<br />

was proposed as a maintenance<br />

garage, but Redwood<br />

Acquisition also sought to add<br />

a sales office to the building.<br />

<strong>The</strong> zoning commission<br />

approved the construction of a<br />

24- by 24-foot building.<br />

Sigma Technologies, Ltd.<br />

also came before the board<br />

with a landscape plan as part<br />

of its site plan review. <strong>The</strong> site<br />

plan had been approved by the<br />

commission in August, and<br />

they approved the landscape<br />

plan at Monday’s meeting.<br />

–Jane Maiolo<br />

Commissioners<br />

announce levy<br />

reduction<br />

<strong>The</strong> Wood County Commissioners,<br />

James Carter,<br />

Doris Herringshaw and Joel<br />

Kuhlman, working with Jobs<br />

and Family Services Director<br />

Dave Wigent, have requested<br />

the Wood County Budget<br />

Commission to reduce collections<br />

of the Adult and Protective<br />

Services Levy by 50 percent<br />

during 2014.<br />

This reduction will save<br />

county taxpayers approximately<br />

$1.86 million.<br />

<strong>The</strong> JFS staff has been<br />

extremely responsible with<br />

expenditures relating to this<br />

levy, which is what has<br />

enabled the reduced collection<br />

for one year.<br />

This is the third time that<br />

the Commissioners and JFS,<br />

in cooperation with the Budget<br />

Commission, have been<br />

able to voluntarily reduce<br />

levy collection since 2000.<br />

Revenues for the year<br />

are projected to be $26.13<br />

million.<br />

Treasurer Carrie Herringshaw<br />

said the district<br />

is seeing a decline in real<br />

property tax revenues due<br />

to reappraisals in 2012 in<br />

Lucas and Ottawa counties.<br />

funds are estimated to<br />

increase by 6.25 percent or<br />

$14.04 million, she said,<br />

adding, “While the numbers<br />

used in the funding<br />

formula have not been<br />

finalized by the Ohio<br />

Department of Education,<br />

we feel this is a realistic<br />

estimate at this time.”<br />

Ms. Herringshaw noted<br />

that as a result of contract<br />

negotiations, employees<br />

will see a 2.5 percent<br />

salary increase.<br />

As part of the agreement,<br />

employees also<br />

agreed to pay more for<br />

health insurance.<br />

Although the health<br />

insurance premiums<br />

increased by 7 percent, the<br />

overall effective change in<br />

insurance cost to the district<br />

is -7 percent, she said,<br />

adding that there also was<br />

cost reduction due to a<br />

change in co-pays and<br />

deductibles.<br />

In addition, the district<br />

is experiencing a cost savings<br />

with new staff, who<br />

replaced retiring personnel.<br />

<strong>The</strong> treasurer concluded,<br />

“Overall, we’re in<br />

good shape. We’re right on<br />

track with where we<br />

expected to be.”<br />
