NEW BUSINESS

DRSWD and Township representatives discussed the Township Trustees’ “Philosophical Position with Respect to the Operations of the Deerfield Storm Water District Board,” inclusive of the following four points:

(1)  The DRSWD Board should always utilize a fiscally conservative philosophy in its approach to all issues, e.g., leveraging other resources and entities, such as Warren County, etc., should always occur;

(2)  The DRSWD Board’s primary objective is addressing NPDES Phase II.  This should be evident when considering all resources available to the Board;

(3)  The DRSWD Board shall not provide funds for the construction phase of private property issues; and

(4)  The DRSWD Board should communicate with the DT Board of Trustee regularly to eliminate potential redundancies and ensure alignment of purpose and resources, but especially when making decisions that will have significant political or fiscal impact.
