How would you, as a township trustee, encourage cooperation among the townships and/or the city of Oxford? Please give three specific examples.

I'm always willing and available to listen; the townships meet and share ideas and issues at the monthly meeting of the Butler County Township Association, and every year in Columbus at the Ohio Township Association. The responsibility for cooperation with the city lies with the city, their projects reach out into the townships and they should seek early input and not take that cooperation for granted.

Butler County Sheriff’s Office 33yrs/ Captain (Retired). Taft H.S., attended Miami University (Hamilton Campus), Sinclair College (Dayton); Southwestern Texas State University (Austin Texas); Hanover Township Trustee for the last eight years.
How would you, as a township trustee, encourage cooperation among the townships and/or the city of Oxford? Please give three specific examples.

Presently, all thirteen townships are members of the Butler County Township Association and meet every other month. Agenda items include issues relative to individual townships and legislative concerns. I feel attendance is imperative for sound government. Hanover Township meets the second Wednesday of each month and would encourage leaders from Oxford and Oxford Township to attend and exchange views and information. Invitation to Oxford Council meetings, for other jurisdictions, may be considered.
