A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE BOARD OF GRANVILLE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES TO PROVIDE POLICE SERVICES TO THE GRANVILLE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, OTHER CERTAIN PARCELS OWNED BY THE GRANVILLE EXEMPTED VILLAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND CERTAIN PARCELS OWNED BY DENISON UNIVERSITY

WHEREAS, Section 505.43 of the Ohio Revised Code authorizes a township to obtain additional police protection by entering into a contract with a municipal corporation; and

WHEREAS, it is the desire of Granville Township to contract with the Village of Granville to provide police protection for the Granville Intermediate School which is located within the Township but less than a mile from the Granville corporation limits; and

WHEREAS, it is the desire of Granville Township to contract with the Village of Granville to provide police protection for certain parcels owned by the Granville Exempted Village School District that are located in the Township but are adjacent to the Granville High School and adjacent to the Granville corporation limits; and

WHEREAS, it is the desire of Granville Township to contract with the Village of Granville to provide police protection for certain parcels owned by Denison University that are located in the Township but are adjacent to other Denison parcels that are located within the Village limits; and

WHEREAS, Granville Township and the Village of Granville support these adjustments in police protection because they will add clarity and consistency to the police services that are provided for the properties owned by the Granville Exempted Village School District and Denison University; and

WHEREAS, Granville Township and the Village of Granville also support these adjustments because they should also result in quicker response times to those properties that will be affected by the contract; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of Granville, Ohio that:
