LIVERPOOL TOWNSHIP — The Liverpool Township Board of Trustees adopted a resolution Tuesday to assign the East Liverpool Fire Department as the township’s primary 9-1-1 emergency ambulance service effective March 1.

The resolution while assigning ELFD notes that this does not take away the right for any township residents to request another ambulance service.

Other resolutions adopted during the meeting include the reallocation of appropriations for the Police District Fund in the amount of $1,767.21 from tax collection fees and $547.36 from the Travel and Meeting Reimbursement to the Repair and Maintenance line item and the annual conversion plan for OPERS for 2026.

Bills in the amount of $136,515.08 were also approved.

Fiscal Officer Shirley Flati, in her submitted report, said she was performing day-to-day activities, working on year-end items, mailed the signed 2025 ODOT mileage certificate back to Bert Dawson, is still working on quarterly reports and distributed the 2025 W2s with notices.

Fire Chief Jacob Russell said it would cost $950 each for two trucks to be fixed by Atlantic Electric and that he was meeting with the township’s IT person today for software and computer installation at the fire department.

He also requested approval to submit for reimbursement from the state at the end of the year $925 tuition cost for Firefighter Kaitlyn Talbot to attend fire school, $1,700 for Firefighter Justin Tatsch for fire training and $355 for the BCI background investigation and physical Tatsch was required to have for the training. The trustees unanimously approved the reimbursement requests.

Road Foreman Chris Bosworth said the 2016 truck is back in service. It was found to have a turbo problem, which was covered under warranty and meant no cost for the repair to the township.

Bosworth requested and was given approval to have both the township’s new trucks lettered by Campbell Signs at a cost of $250 each and to purchase seat covers for the new trucks at a cost of $95 each.

Police Chief Jarod Kinemond requested an executive session for personnel discipline matters. Trustees voted to go into an executive session and returned to an open meeting with no action taken.

For old business trustee Dennis Giambroni said he spoke with the state regarding a resident’s concern about a light at the Westfield Road-Lisbon Road intersection and that the state will be researching accident numbers and signage in the that area

There was no one to speak during public portion and no unfinished or new business to discuss.

The Liverpool Township Board of Trustees meets every other Tuesday at 3 p.m. at the township administration building. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Feb. 2.
