TARTA update
TARTA CEO Laura Koprowski and Sylvania Township representative to the TARTA Board of Trustees, Joel Beren, presented an update to the Sylvania Township Board of Trustees about TARTA's innovations and progress and the benefits TARTA offers by connecting the community.
EV Charging Station zoning approved
In regular business, the trustees approved the request of Planning and Zoning Manager Daryl Graus to amend a zoning resolution to include regulations regarding electric vehicle charging stations.
Sylvania Township Fire Chief Chris Nye was given permission to apply for the 2024 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG), an Operations and Safety Micro-Grant to replace out-of-date stair lifts with new powered stair lifts.
In other actions, Township Administrator Oliver Turner was given the authority to contract with Public Consulting Services Group, LLC, of Boston Mass., for services needed to implement the Ohio Ambulance Supplemental Payment Program for Emergency Medical Services.
