Despite a collection ofdebris and old tree stumpsdiscovered under the ChesterTownship Town Hall parking lotasphalt this summer, thereconfiguring of the space wassteaming right along last week.

But the backhoe andbulldozer doing the gradingcame to a screeching halt whenthey unearthed the rustedremains of a 1,000-gallon

heating oil tank buried underthe south side of the parking lot,Trustee Mike Joyce saidThursday.

The tank was probably usedby the old bowling alley at thatlocation before the town hallwas built, he said.

About 650 gallons of fluidwas removed Thursday, Joycesaid, adding the plan is to takethe metal tank out of theground Monday, then samplesof the surrounding soil will be

taken to determine if there issignificant contamination to thearea.

“This removal is being donein accordance with (OhioEnvironmental ProtectiveAgency) and (Bureau ofUnderground Storage Tank)regulations for proper disposal,”he said.

Both entities oversee anyhazardous material spillage.

The Fourth of July cameearly to West Geauga Schoolsas its board of education’s splitvote on the next superintendentignited fireworks Monday night.

In a 3-2 vote, the boardapproved extending an offer toGeoff Palmer, superintendentof Hopewell-Loudon Schools inBascom, Ohio, with boardmembers Michael Kilroy andJackie Dottore casting thedissenting votes.

“These are our kids,” Kilroysaid Tuesday. “I want to cry.”

During Monday night’sboard meeting, Kilroy quest-ioned whether Palmer, who led asmall 900-student school districtin northwest Ohio, is the right fitfor West Geauga Schools and its2,597 students.

He questioned Palmer’scredentials to guide the districtand the transparency of the

selection process while boardPresident Bill Beers defendedthe procedure and the reasonsbehind his support for Palmer.

Prior to taking the superin-tendent spot at Hopewell-Loudon in 2003, Palmer servedas Van Buren High Schoolprincipal since 1999.

Before then, he was the

school’s head boys basketballcoach for several years.

“We were looking foracademics, so the other candidatehad more expertise in curriculumand performance plans ...professional development type ofthings,” Kilroy said.

Beers identified the otherfinalist as Brunswick Schools

Assistant Superintendent JoelleMagyar.

Kilroy said like current WestGeauga Superintendent ThomasDiringer — who resigned earlierthis year — Palmer has a “greatbusiness background.”

“We don’t need mostbusiness; we have a very goodbusiness person. We got a greattreasurer,” he added. “We needsomebody to focus on (AdvancedPlacement).”

Kilroy said, based on hisreview of the Hopewell-Loudonwebsite, the district does not offera single advanced placementclass.

“This guy just spent nineyears at a school district withoutan AP course,” he said. “All thesemagazines, when they’re talkingabout college preparedness,they’re talking about AP classes.”

Beers, however, said dualenrollment courses, which aresimilar to AP courses, are

offered in the high school andprior to becoming super-intendent, Palmer “led the staffin expansion of advancedplacement course offeringswhile he was principal at VanBuren High School.”

Van Buren High School hasa total enrollment of 285students compared to 884 atWest Geauga High School,according to the OhioDepartment of Education.

“I’m not concerned justbecause it’s smaller because, asa superintendent, (Palmer) hasbeen in charge of and involvedin lots of different aspects of thewhole district,” Beers said. “It’snot like he’s in charge of alarger district and has peopledoing work for him. He’s had tobe involved in many aspects ...so he’s got, I would say, a verygood breadth.”

ANN WISHART/CNThe parking lot project at Chester Town Hall ground to a halt last week when a 1000-gallon fuel oil tank was dis-covered buried under the old asphalt. The tank was to be removed Monday so progress may continue.

Beers said Palmer’s lack ofhistory with advanced placementcourses also is not a concern.

“Instead of having advancedplacement courses, they havearranged to have co-creditgiven for college courses ... witharea colleges,” Beers said. “Hehas demonstrated that he isconcerned about havingadvanced courses for studentsto take. There are multiple waysfor that to be implemented.”

He added, “The things Iliked about Palmer was ... hehas a track record in havingmade a significant improvementin the quality of that districtwhich was also supported bysome of the people we talked toin the district.”

The Ohio Department ofEducation has given Hopewell-Loudon Schools an “Excellent”report card the last two schoolyears. The three prior years,however, it was designated an“Effective” district, after alsohaving been rated “Excellent”in Palmer’s first two years incharge.

Kilroy also questioned thefact Palmer recently resignedfrom his position at Hopewell-Loudon, where Kilroy said itwas rumored his contract wasnot going to be renewed.

Beers concurred Palmerresigned before the end of hiscontract.

“The explanation we gotfrom him and several of thereferences we talked to was theboard that was currently therewanted to head in a differentdirection than he’d been drivingthe school district,” Beers said.

“There were philosophicaldifferences, so he decided it wastime for him to move on.”

Monday night, Kilroy saidhe “blew the cover off” theexecutive session during thepublic meeting.

In particular, he said hedidn’t like the fact that whenthe board was in a“conundrum” last Thursdayabout who to pick, it didn’tsolicit public input on thefinalists.

Instead, the board invitedadministrative staff to givefeedback on the candidates, butBeers wanted that discussion totake place in executive session,he said.

“So that way, if Mr. Beersdidn’t like the outcome, hecould squash the information,”Kilroy said Tuesday. “Becausewe were a torn board at thatpoint.”

He added, “There are thingsthat happen in executivesession that are confidential, orshould be, I guess, but I don’tthink executive session shouldbe used to circumvent thepublic.”

During Monday's meeting,Kilroy said the entire administ-rative staff supported Magyaras the best fit for the district.

He said the district keepstrying to talk about“transparency” or “pretendingto talk about transparency,pretending to care about whatyou’re community says during asurvey.”

“But when given a chance toinvolve the public, it says, ‘No,’”Kilroy said. “Our district isrenowned for being sneaky. Ifyou’re trying to be transparent,do it.”

The public did have anopportunity at the start of thesearch, both in a public meetingas well as by mail and email, togive input on the type ofcandidates it wanted, Beerssaid.

He agreed there was asession open to the public at theend of the search process whenDiringer was hired, but thistime, the board unanimouslyagreed earlier in the process notto do that.

“We decided the last stepwas going to be with theadministration in executivesession, earlier in the process,”he said. “We had an interviewsession with the candidates thatwas held in executive sessionjust like all the interviews withthe candidates were held inexecutive session.”

During the last meeting, theboard had administrative staffprovide questions for it to askthe candidates and then invitedthem into the meeting, Beerssaid.

“What transpires inexecutive session is consideredpart of executive session,” hesaid. “I would comment that(Kilroy) was part of developingthe process all along. And, untillast night, I had not heard himcomplain about transparency ofthe process.”

While Palmer has beennotified of the offering, he iscurrently on vacation and hasnot accepted the position yet,Beers said.

Palmer is also reported to bea finalist for the StreetsboroCity Schools top administrativepost.

When asked how Palmer —if he accepts the West Geaugaposition — would approach asplit board, Beers said, “That’s avery good question.”

“And I don’t really know theanswer to that,” he said.“Obviously, it would be easier ifit weren’t. I am disappointed ithas come to this.”

Palmer was chosen out of apool of 31 candidates whoapplied for the spot afterDiringer, who makes $110,000annually, announced hisresignation in April after onlyserving two years of his three-year contract.

He replaced longtimesuperintendent Tony Podojil,who served with the districtfrom 1995 to 2010.

The board elicited theassistance of Matt Galemmo,superintendent of the GeaugaCounty Educational ServiceCenter, to winnow the list downto nine.

Board members decided onthe four they wanted to havesecond interviews with andreached a consensus lastThursday on Palmer andMagyar out of those four,Kilroy said.

“We tried to be open-minded,” he said Thursday.“And I apologize for beingpushed into the position ofdoing what I did. Normally,almost 100 percent of the time,you make a motion, you ask fora second and there are twomagic words, 'Any discussion?'There was no discussion. Theytried to bypass the discussion.”

Kilroy said as a result, he gotflustered and spoke out.

“I'm sorry for violatingexecutive session, because itdoes have it's place,” he said. “Itis important.”

Details regarding Palmer’scontract with Hopewell-LoudonSchools were not readilyavailable.

A voicemail message left forDottore was not returned as ofTuesday afternoon.

Kilroy said Thursday he andDottore called for a specialmeeting at 6 p.m. Friday todiscuss details of thesuperintendent's contract.

The meeting took place inexecutive session, he added.

Randall said, adding youth in thegroup home across the streetfrom Pleasant Hills Home alsohelp from time to time.

As part of the court’sCommunity Service Work Crew,participants are learning aboutgardening while working toprovide fresh produce to localfood pantries.

Each annual harvest willsupply the seven food pantries ofthe GHTF, said Geauga CountyMaintenance Departmentworker Mike Tvergyak, whohelped plow the garden.

He is also providingvolunteer guidance and helpthroughout the summer.

“The produce from thisgarden is fresh and tastes betterthan store-bought. Store-boughtis good, but this produce tasteshealthier,” Tvergyak added.

The 75-by-50-square-footgarden contains roughly 300plants, including peppers,tomatoes, potatoes, cauliflowerand other vegetables.

The teens water, weed andtill the garden roughly four daysa week.

“What’s neat about thisdesign is that it’s also at a 5-to-6-percent grade, which providesdrainage for the crops,”Tvergyak said.

Jackie Heiden, an assistantsupervisor from probate/juvenile court who oversees theyouth in the court system, saidshe enjoyed seeing the gardencome to fruition with the earlyJune planting.

“Mike is a great leader,”Heiden said of Tvergyak, who

also is a family friend. “I’velearned a lot about working in agarden thanks to his help.”

Tvergyak even said theapproximately 30 Pleasant HillHome residents had their ownsection of the garden to plantvegetables, separate from themain crops.

He said residents offeredtheir help in setting up thePleasant Hill section.

“One of them even planteda series of rocks, until I told him

it was not a rock garden,”Tvergyak laughed.

The only thing missing?Water, and lots of it.

“It’s a bad drought rightnow, but we’ll make it through,”he said, adding he’s seen corncrops curling as a result of thedry weather.

Randall noted the importanceof other organizations thathelped the dream of a gardenbecome a reality, such as theGeauga Park District andCatholic Charities CommunityServices of Geauga County.

The park district helpedplan the garden’s layout whileCatholic Charities arranged forsoil testing and fertilization tobe performed.

Geauga County Probate andJuvenile Court Judge TimGrendell said in an email heappreciated United Way’scoordination efforts.

The judge — who said hepersonally planted a row ofcabbage and a row of tomatoes— added he enjoyed workingwith the youth work crew.

“It gives youth the positivefeeling of watching somethinggrow as well as providing anexperience that is in keeping

with the agricultural heritage ofGeauga County,” he said. “Notonly does it help our foodpantries, but this productiveeffort is helpful for the youngpeople involved.”

Volunteer groups will beneeded to help with the harvestin late summer.

Residents also can followthe garden’s progress by visitingthe UWSGC Facebook page,Randall said.

Tvergyak said the youth arelearning about gardening at ayoung age, a skill that couldprove useful later in life.

“Even if they don’t like it atthe time, they will appreciate itlater in time,” he said. “I felt thesame way when I was young.Now, it’s my passion.

He added, “I like workingwith the youth. They keep megoing.”

If a group is interested inhelping with the late-summerharvest, contact Randall at 440-285-2261, ext. 225.

“There are problems. Theywill be solved properly,” Joycesaid.

Trustees voted to spend upto $5,000 for the unforeseenexpenses attached to theunwelcome discovery includinganalytical services andsamplings, labor, equipment,disposal and transportation feesas well as for the services of aregistered BUSTR inspector.

A closure report is part ofthe process, Trustee Ken Radtkesaid.

The project, partly funded bya Surface Water ImprovementFund grant, is growing inexpense.

The design and some of thework done on the parking lot isfunded through an Ohio EPAgrant from the Surface WaterImprovement Fund.

The project was awarded$77,250 and was designed byLand Designs Consultants Inc.

of Mentor to create ademonstration project of stormwater management that can beeasily replicated.

One requirement for fundingis that the project be done on asite that is highly visible to thepublic and could lead to businesspeople or residents deciding tomake similar improvements inthe community.

In response to questionsfrom residents at Thursday’smeeting, Trustee Ken Radtkesaid he thinks the cost is now atabout $192,000.

Radtke voted againstspending almost $6,000 forelectrical conduits andwaterline installation, saying hewas opposed to the entireproject from the start.

In other discussion, residentKurt Feagle questioned why thetownship Zoning InspectorSteven Averill doesn’t attendtrustee meetings.

“Previous boards used tohave the zoning inspector(present) at every other

meeting,” he said. “I have acouple of questions.”

Joyce said it is unlikely thetrustees will have Averill cometo meetings because thetownship would have to payhim overtime to do so.

He is using up his allottedhours working on zoningprojects.

“He’s been kinda busy,”Joyce said, adding otherdepartment heads usuallyattend every other meeting.

“I’ve been kinda busy, too,and I don’t get paid to come,”Feagle said.

Trustee Judy Caputo saidresidents are free to call thedepartment heads.

“I’d like it to be part of apublic meeting. I’d like someanswers,” the resident said.

Resident Ron Cotmanadded, “It’s my perceptionyou’re hiding the guy.”

He asked if trustees arereceiving regular zoning reports.

Joyce said he hadn’t seenone lately.

“So there’s a vacuum ofinformation around zoning,”Cotman said.

Radtke said he has asked for

a report, but the rest of theboard has not supported hisrequest.

Joyce said he would talk toAverill about creating a reportFriday.

“When would said reportstart to be generated?” Radtkeasked.

Trustees agreed there shouldbe a report on June’s activityready before the July 12 boardmeeting.

When Feagle asked if Averillwould attend the meeting, Joycesaid it depends on the zoninginspector’s schedule.

how the township should collectwhat residents might owe.

About 1.3 miles of ShermanRoad between Route 306 andSperry Road will be repavedlater this summer, Trustee MikeJoyce said.

The project involves 15driveways and is being paid forwith Ohio Public Works Grantmoney and $81,000 from thetownship, Road SuperintendentRob Pealer said.

The department isresponsible for preparing theroad right-of-way for therepaving, so Pealer told trusteeshis people would be starting theditching soon.

He also wanted to knowhow much residents should betold it would cost to replacetheir driveway culverts.

Trustee Judy Caputo said sheunderstood that, in the past,homeowners living on atownship road were expected topay for the pipe that goes undertheir driveway. The roaddepartment would install it, withthe township paying for therequired labor and materials.

“People buy the pipe and weput it in for them,” Pealer said,adding few records have beenkept detailing the costs or ifthat practice has been followedin every situation.

When he asked OhioDepartment of Transportationabout the state’s policy, Pealersaid he was told ODOT does

not touch driveways unlessthere are drainage problemscausing structural damage tothe roadway.

Pealer also noted thetownship does not have toshoulder the cost for such aproject, according to the OhioRevised Code.

Trustee Ken Radtke saidafter the meeting that Pealerwas referring to ORC section5543.16, which reads, in part:

“In the construction of aroad improvement, the directorof transportation or engineermay, in all cases where theapproaches of the owners ofabutting real estate areunsuitable to a projectedimprovement or so constructedas not to afford proper drainageafter its completion, include inthe plans for such improvementplans for proper approaches.The entire cost of constructingsuch approaches may beassessed against the lands alongwhich they are constructed.”

Added Pealer, “When pushcomes to shove … perksdisappear.”

Most townships are facingfinancial challenges because ofthe depressed economy and theelimination of inheritance taxes.

Assessing landowners fordriveway work is complicated,especially if the propertychanges hands or residents tryto install their own culvertpipes, Caputo said.

Pealer said a simple invoicesystem might be the answerrather than assessments.

He said he would like

trustees to have a clear policy tofollow on the matter.

The Sherman Road projectwill require the pipe, a catchbasin and a grate to be installedbefore the contractor startswork in August.

Legal counsel is researchingthe issue, Radtke said, addingeven if the township orders theculvert now so, trustees wouldstill be able to create a policyand communicate it toresidents.

“People need to know at thispoint they’ll be paying for thepipe,” Caputo said.

She added trustees shouldtalk to Fiscal Officer MikeStark, who wasn’t present lastMonday, to see if he feels eachlandowner should write a checkto the township for the pipe orjust replace the pipe the roadcrew uses on their driveways.

If residents write checks tothe township, it would be easierto track the funds goingforward, she said.

Payment plans for the pipeare also a possibility, she said,recommending the policy befirmly enforced.

“Let the residents knowthey don’t have a choice,” sheadded.

She said having landownersprovide the pipe could be riskyif it is not up to the standardneeded.

Trustees agreed the issuescould not be resolved at theJune 25 special meeting;however, they unanimouslypassed a resolution to buymaterials for the project.

Remember HistoryEvery once in awhile

someone asks me, “How is itthat Geauga County is so muchdifferent from all the othercounties adjacent to CuyahogaCounty? How did GeaugaCounty avoid being part of theurban sprawl that sweptthrough all the rest?”

The answer goes back over30 years ago when this countywe love was about to get a12,000 unit sewer treatmentplant at the site of what is nowthe “West Geauga Commons”on state Route 306 in RussellTownship.

A small group of “KeepGeauga Green” activists startedplanning for a different futurefor our county.

Some of them were ...George Kundtz, Van Rogers,Bob Cable, Jim Mueller, Dr. BillTrowbridge, Dave Dietrich, JoeMersnick and dozens of others.

As a new resident, I, too,joined the fray because I alsowanted to keep Geauga green.

Many others participated,but a small, dedicated group ofpeople led us in a new land usedirection.

These Republicans, Democratsand nonpartisans started byelecting two new countycommissioners — Jim Muellerand Dick Ford — who werecommitted to primarily usingwells and septic systems ratherthan city water and central

sewers to manage futuregrowth.

Township by township, theyfunded land used studies onhow much ground water existedunderneath us and the land’sload-carrying capacity for septicsystems.

Those studies provided arational, legally defensible basisfor changing minimum lot sizesfrom half-acre lots or less insome places, to 3-and 5-acre lotsin many areas.

Chester and Russelltownships were the first toswitch to “Keep it GreenZoning.”

This new approach to “land-capacity based” zoning washighly controversial.

Many naysayers said thecourts would not uphold it —but it was upheld — and that itwould stifle growth in thecounty — which is what it wasintended to do.

High-density developersfumed, filed lawsuits and foughtback.

Geauga County, however,became the first county in Ohioto zone for a low density, ruraland semi-rural future ratherthan a high-density, urban one.

The land use and zoningconcepts first pioneered inGeauga were later recognizedas “ground breaking” and“years ahead of their time,” andtoday, we all live better livesbecause of it.

Recently, Forbes Magazine

listed Geauga County as thefourth best county in Americato live in.

As a county commissioner,Jim Mueller “killed” thegigantic waste water treatmentplant the U.S. EnvironmentalProtective Agency had alreadyfunded and he turned it into theWest Geauga Commons, a parkwhere our children now play.

He and Dick Ford stoppedus from looking like BroadviewHeights or Parma.

Because Jim is running forstate senator, a lot of nasty,partisan things are going to besaid about him, I’m sure.

But let’s remember ourhistory: When Geauga’s landuse battle of “Lexington andConcord” was fought for theheart and soul of what ourcounty was to become ... JimMueller was there and stood hisground for all of us who loveliving in a rural Geauga County.
