Chief (Police) told the board the program was developed after consultation with other departments and training leads: \"I kinda looked sideways out a little bit and then educated myself and realized that this is something that we need to do for our people,\" the chief said. The chief described the program as combining supervisor leadership training and a mandatory annual check-in to identify needs early: \"there's also gonna be a mandatory, check-in every year, just to just to check-in with people and to make sure that they're doing good and okay and at home and at work. And then if they need additional assistance, the company that we're going with is actually part of our EAP program.\"

Trustees moved to dispense with a second reading and adopted the resolution by roll call; the clerk called the roll and recorded votes in favor from the three trustees present. No recorded dissent was made in the meeting minutes.

Officials said the program is intended to be continuous rather than a one-time offering and will include training for supervisors to recognize signs of distress. No program cost or contract terms were presented in the public portion of the meeting record; the resolution authorizes the township administrator to execute the agreement with the vendor.

The board framed the action as a step to support first responders’ well-being and operational readiness. The meeting record does not include the contract value, vendor contract language, or a schedule for when checkups will begin beyond the authorization approved at the meeting.","The board approved Resolution 2025-34 to establish annual mental-health checkups for police department employees and authorize an agreement with Pinpoint Behavioral Health Solutions; the program will include leadership training, a mandatory annual check-in, and connection to the township’s employee assistance program.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6099702,"Delhi parks prepare for April opening; trustees and staff discuss cleanliness, traffic and noise enforcement",875,651000,1526000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2816535-47ec4172cf5851c12ee1b42ce6c5a184&start=651&end=1526","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2816535-47ec4172cf5851c12ee1b42ce6c5a184/thumbnail_651000.jpg","/articles/6099702/Ohio/Delhi-parks-prepare-for-April-opening-trustees-and-staff-discuss-cleanliness-traffic-and-noise-enforcement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6099702-9d25dfc3f48c6aa2d3c6aed61d78cff6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135236&Signature=odQxHfXxHDfqmLMenXOWPW0t8UQqNDcVX9qKKAtWbLsahJ~UzADz3FA~jQ5ZJqzYU6O8aJfqjdX0UqBnVW4I4M-w0HzTIkl-NIkKf4Kohpd7YHVoPr~rCYLYSVdfvSc8lyYT3O3PVVeIpTTYEA01lA2TclWdEkGU2bDTGrVPqOgPvqoXekyH150nirr39UHHOcHE8wptRsMn-FOZ0ZmcquyXXO-6euLcTxlZr9FBAA~ZmaDxh4IEgJLfEfgpjfLQMRQR3PojZ2hX~vkEwJw2pz2TFcM7dpCGhEc-x08fUlyYadu~GLeJEqCNFavmAQ8y2RD1fBFC5f9HZVSooADyKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mr. Soupy, the township Parks and Recreation director, told trustees the parks’ water systems are scheduled to be turned on and the parks are ‘‘on track’’ for an April 1 opening.

\"Our April 1 date is looking good to be open and everything up,\" Mr. Soupy said, and listed tasks including restroom cleaning, mulch delivery and dog-park ramp and fountain installation. He described efforts to repair a muddy washout at the Clear View entrance: crews will regrow grass and fence the area rather than use concrete immediately.

Trustees raised resident concerns about restroom cleanliness and visible yard or roadside litter. Trustee Davis emphasized residents should report problems directly to department heads so staff can respond. Mr. Soupy encouraged calls and said crews will address issues as the park season commences.

Board members and staff also discussed vehicle behavior at the children’s play area, where some drivers back into spaces rather than ‘‘head in’’ and create safety concerns for children. Trustee Davis recommended new signage and remarked, \"Is there a way... to make sure they know to pull head in instead of... back in,\" to which Mr. Soupy responded that the township can install a sign and remark traffic arrows to change driver habits.

Noise and loud music complaints at the park were addressed by police and parks staff. A parks speaker noted posted rules prohibit loud offensive music in play areas and suggested callers use the non-emergency police line if staff are not on site. The police chief added that the township will increase visible patrols: \"The park detail starts April 1... the problem oriented policing unit is gonna be the ones working on that,\" and said the detail will set the expected tone of behavior in the parks.

Officials said the township will monitor the park after opening and adjust staffing and signage as needed. Residents were directed to contact parks staff or the non-emergency police line to report rule violations or safety concerns.

The board did not take any new binding policy actions during the discussion; trustees and staff described operational steps that staff will pursue ahead of the April opening.","Parks and Recreation reported the township’s park systems are on track to open April 1, with ongoing work on restrooms, dog park amenities and erosion control. Trustees and police discussed signage, parking patterns and increased park patrols to address safety and noise complaints.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6099706,"Delhi Township to host lithium battery drop-off through partnership with Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub",133,265000,398000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2816535-47ec4172cf5851c12ee1b42ce6c5a184&start=265&end=398","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2816535-47ec4172cf5851c12ee1b42ce6c5a184/thumbnail_265000.jpg","/articles/6099706/Ohio/Delhi-Township-to-host-lithium-battery-drop-off-through-partnership-with-Cincinnati-Recycling-and-Reuse-Hub","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6099706-a0381fe95d9781c889f0daf0424e9e5d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135236&Signature=Tfu3O-lHp2n3gMrHUTSZxVRTLSiud88iOtcZsS4hjb4-xe0u0kfSETEhT-XK9vRTMH~bQdvbg31Vwryqj2qCk-nsxShy1rVDDJeebBlun~eGee8QAvs4AWFocmXewl~AAk2ZzLKwQE7UkwDgi3y4e8-KR3egJH6BSAqgSkNuRqXjQsiuy68EegjulP7RZbMzYv1zEwF6Ccig4kuxiDRZgJMZbdHMIkzkwVm3dnIjLeKN8f9LcXX-QJvN4t~Ax49j4VdHQaHSTSZLk~5rzhpenlpzoJV3rND9ZEd8Jp32ybe5KpfY-1uDl2RsX8TEx-7vcUiDkz0l2oiCe8RxG6jVkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chief Campbell of the Delhi Township Fire Department announced the township will partner with the Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub to provide a lithium battery collection point at the fire station.

The hub ‘‘accepts hard to recycle items, including things like electronics, light bulbs, and batteries,’’ Chief Campbell said, adding the program is funded and expanding in 2025 with renewed support from Rumpke Waste and Recycling. \"In an effort to keep lithium batteries out of the landfill and provide safe disposal options for the public, Rumpke is renewing the funding for this collection program and its expansion in 2025, which would now include Delhi Township Fire Department,\" he said.

The program aims to reduce fire risk from lithium batteries placed in household trash or curbside recycling. Chief Campbell told trustees the hub dropped off supplies and provided training to township staff; the fire station at 697 Neab Road will be available during normal business hours as a drop-off point. \"We will make the fire station at 697 Neab Road available to them during normal business hours,\" he said. The chief estimated the township would be about two weeks from publicly announcing the launch.

Trustee Davis raised related disposal questions about small propane cylinders used for grills; Chief Campbell clarified that completely empty propane canisters are treated as inert metal and can be disposed of with scrap metal, while cylinders that still contain compressed gas require additional caution and may need guidance from the fire department.

Officials said there will be no cost to the township or the fire department to host the program; the hub maintains supplies and retrieves collected material. The fire department will post program details on the township website when the launch date is finalized.

Delhi Township officials framed the partnership as a low-cost public-safety improvement that reduces the chance of fires for sanitation workers and township responders.

The township did not provide a formal written agreement in the meeting record and did not specify an exact launch date beyond the ‘‘about two weeks’’ timeline.

Community members seeking more information were directed to the township website once the department posts the announcement, or to call the firehouse for disposal guidance about propane cylinders and other household hazardous items.","The Delhi Township Fire Department announced a new partnership with the Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub and continuing funding from Rumpke Waste and Recycling to accept lithium-ion batteries at the fire station for safe recycling and disposal beginning in about two weeks.","actionData","errors"]
