Delhi Township trustees on Nov. 12 adopted multiple resolutions covering insurance, financial services, intergovernmental leasing and nuisance abatements during a regularly scheduled meeting.
The board approved a renewal of the township’s property-and-casualty insurance through Ohio Plan Risk Management Inc., authorizing the administrator to execute required documents and declaring an emergency to dispense with a second reading. Administrator Miller and fiscal staff explained the township is shifting the renewal cycle by taking a 14-month renewal (rather than 12 months) to move away from a November renewal date; Miller said that will prorate costs and result in a roughly 10% increase in the short term but smooth future budgeting.
Trustees also authorized an updated professional-services agreement with Bradley Payne, the township’s financial adviser for bonds, notes and forecasting. Administrator Miller described the change as a standard update with a small rate increase and said the firm has worked with the township for years.
Public works introduced and the board adopted an amended and restated lease with the Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners that continues county use of township space for operations including salt trucks. Community development brought two code-enforcement actions: a nuisance declaration for accumulated debris at 5020 Chantilly Drive and a resolution certifying abatement expenses to the county auditor for assessment (amounts were read into the record by staff as stated in the meeting). Each of these resolutions was moved, trustees voted to dispense with a second reading, and the measures were approved by roll call.
All measures discussed at length during the meeting were adopted as described; trustees recorded yes votes on the roll calls for the listed resolutions. No formal motions failed or were tabled at the Nov. 12 meeting.
The board’s immediate next steps are administrative: executing insurance documents, finalizing the Bradley Payne agreement and sending required notices to property owners and the county auditor for the nuisance assessments. The meeting adjourned after routine announcements and community-event reminders.
