(THE REPORTER) — A public meeting was held Monday at Hamilton Heights Middle School to discuss possible reorganization of Jackson Township.
Trustee Robyn Cook reported that reorganization requires the agreement of at least one of the towns in the township (Arcadia, Atlanta, or Cicero), but no town councils have yet agreed to do so.
The discussion was wide-ranging and concerned Westfield’s expansion, what was being done in neighboring Adams Township, and zoning. Currently, Cook has agreed to let Cicero control zoning in the township.
Discussion also concerned the possibility of the state legislature eliminating township trustees and putting their duties of fire protection and welfare under the County Commissioners’ jurisdiction.
Another topic was the new water and sewer district: Hamilton County Regional Utility District. Homes within 300 feet of a sewer system can be required to hook into the new system.
