BOARD OF TRUSTEES

EASTWOOD ALLOTMENT DECISION REFERRING TO THE MEETING ON AUGUST 4, 2022.

THE EAST UNION TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES HAVE DISCUSSED THE FLOODING ON ROBIN AND GALE STREETS MANY TIMES AND HAVE ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO ALL OF THE RESIDENTS OF EASTWOOD ALLOTMENT TO DO AN INCOME STUDY TO HELP WAYNE COUNTY SECURE A GRANT TO FIX THE FLOODING ON ROBIN STREET. WE HAVE ALSO ASKED THE WAYNE COUNTY ENGINEER TO GIVE US A QUOTE ON INSTALLING A BIG TILE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND AS IT TURNED OUT, IT WOULD BE OVERLY EXPENSIVE AND MAY NOT EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE END. THERE WAS A STUDY DONE OVER 10 YEARS AGO ON WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO DO WHAT THE DEVELOPER SHOULD HAVE DONE BEFORE THEY ADDED ROBIN STREET, AT THAT TIME IT WOULD COST OVER $800,000 DOLLARS. WHEN WE RECEIVED THE ARPA FUNDS WE CHECKED WITH OUR LEGAL COUNSEL TO SEE IF WE COULD SPEND MONEY OFF OF ROAD RIGHT OF WAY, THEY SAID WE COULD AT THAT TIME. THEY SAID WE COULD NOT DO THIS PROJECT DIRECTLY, AND THAT WE HAD TO GET THE RESIDENTS OF THE ALLOTMENT AND THE AREA LANDOWNERS THAT OWN THE LAND WHERE THE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE TO COME TOGETHER TO GET THIS DONE. SINCE THE MONEY WE COULD SPEND OFF OF THE ROAD RIGHT OF WAY WAS LIMITED, WE CHECKED WITH OUR LEGAL COUNSEL ONCE MORE. WE ASKED IF WE HAD LESS THAN THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO FINISH THE JOB AS IT WAS ENGINEERED THAT WE SHOULD NOT START. THE CONCERN WAS THAT THE PROJECT MIGHT FIX THE FLOODING ON ROBIN AND GALE STREETS DURING VERY HEAVY RAINS, BUT WOULD THEN IN TURN CAUSE FLOODING ON THE OTHER TWO STREETS. AT THAT POINT THE TOWNSHIP WOULD BE LIBEL FOR THE DAMAGES CAUSED.
