2 Grants Rejected: Bath News Wrap-Up

Notes from the township trustees meeting this week

  Bath Township officials got some disappointing news from two would-be funding sources. Trustees learned Bath will not receive a grant from the Summit County Emergency Management Agency that would have paid to replace an emergency siren at the fire station. And the Ohio Historical Society did not choose the township for an Ohio History Fund Grant. The agency received 64 grant requests and selected 11 projects to fund.

Bath Trustees Go Paperless at Meetings

Officials now using iPads for agendas, legislation

  Bath Townnship Trustees took a technological step forward this week by going paperless at their bi-monthly meeting.

"It's going to make us more efficient and also save money," Trustee Elaina Goodrich said. Visitors at the meetings will still be able to pick up paper agendas. But legislation packets for trustees, administrators and the press are now emailed rather than printed. At Tuesday's meeting -- the first with iPads instead of paper -- Trustee James Nelson drew a laugh when he paused during a vote with an announcement. "I just figured out how to make the print larger," he said. Trustee Becky Corbett said last-minute …
