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 />

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 />
However, state foundation<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 />
