The agenda at the Lake Township Board of Trustees meeting held Aug. 8 presented the monthly police report and opened bidding for a truck and storage building, along with other township business.
The monthly traffic report was given at the meeting for the month of July. This report included a total of 284 traffic stops and 62 adult citations, essentially equating to a total of 22 percent.
There were 50 additional stops for suspicious vehicles and/or people, 12 false 911 calls with no real ones, 11 reported domestic troubles and four drug confrontations.
“The amount of action taken by our police department shows the concern for safety in the township,” Board President John Arnold said. “This shows how focused they are on making the community a great place to live.”
The bids for the township truck and storage building were determined after an executive session. The results consisted of the masonry and labor going to Bontrager Masonry for $23,600 and masonry and material going to Mathie Supplies for $11,992. The overhead garage door will be going to Ducther Door Company for $24,136 and the metal building to Ivan Weaver Construction for $108,850.
The electrical for the building has yet to be determined.
The shootings in Copley that took place on Aug. 7 resulted in two local Uniontown Police Department officers assisting the Summit County SWAT Team. The Summit County SWAT Team and Uniontown Police Department share an alliance of sorts, that allows them to be available to each other for assistance when necessary.
“If we ever were to need them for a problem in the area, they will send down up to 30 members of their team to help us,” Uniontown Police Chief Harold Britt said. “And, when they need us, we can send up some of our officers.”
This was Britt's first time in attendance at a township meeting as the new police chief. He was also one of the two officers that assisted the SWAT team with the shootings in Copley.
“It's great that we have that kind of backup and support system for the community,” Arnold said. “It also shows how one community can go beyond their bounds to help another.”
Road open permits were authorized for work at 2675 Mt. Pleasant St. and on Vermont Street NW, in addition to the execution of a contract with the Stark Council of Governments Natural Gas Program.
Also, there will be active shooter training at Lake Middle and High School through the Uniontown Police Department sometime before school starts or in early fall. The demonstration will be available for anyone to watch.
“This program allows the youth to realize that anything can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere,” Chief Britt said. “The more you know about these types of situations and how to handle them, the more people you can keep out of danger.”
