Board approves routine motions: hiring, traffic signage, SRO agreement and administrator spending authority

The Delhi Township Board of Trustees approved a series of routine motions and resolutions at its May 13 meeting.

The board approved payment of overtime for the pay period ending 04/28/2026 and bills for payment. Both procedural motions carried with affirmative votes.

Personnel actions included a motion to hire Patrick J. Burns as a seasonal parks and recreation worker at $18 per hour pending a pre-employment drug test, which passed. The board also accepted the retirement of Sergeant Adam L. Cox effective May 31, 2026, and adopted Resolution 2026-050 to enter into an employment agreement with Adam L. Cox as a school resource officer, dispensing with the second reading before passing the resolution by roll call.

Public works brought Resolution 2026-51 to authorize installation of traffic control signs at the intersection of Palmerston Drive and Stillwater Drive (including a "stop except when turning right" configuration and parking restrictions to improve visibility); the board dispensed with the second reading and approved the resolution by roll call.

Administration presented Resolution 2026-52, authorizing the township administrator to spend amounts greater than $10,000 in fiscal year 2026 for minor capital improvements. Trustees said the authorization will be used to contract Monarch Construction for curb repairs and to install a new ADA ramp near the lawn/stage area; the resolution passed after dispense of the second reading.

All recorded votes shown in the transcript were affirmative; no defeats or tabled items were recorded during the meeting.

Why it matters: The approvals enable near-term repairs and staffing for parks and public facilities, implement a school-resource-officer agreement and adjust traffic-control measures at a local intersection.
