What is the biggest challenge facing Caesarcreek Township and what plans do you have for solving that challenge?

The biggest challenge is the rising cost of Fire and Rescue service that is contracted with Xenia Township. The solution is to work closely with Xenia Township in negotiating a long term fair contract for the citizens for Clearcreek Township. Developing an advisor commimttee between the two townships to work together for the best possible service for both townships.

What is the biggest challenge facing Caesarcreek Township and what plans do you have for solving that challenge?

Staying within our budget for our taxpayers and residents of Caesarcreek Township is the biggest challenge. We have one of the smallest budgets in the 12 townships in Greene County and in the future I expect our township budget to decrease even more. Other challenges are junk cars, and trash. I am planning on issuing more citations for these offenses. We as trustees need to take better care of our roads, signs, and mowing ditches.
