Dr. Robert Cook of The Ohio State University and mentioned the site’s historical significance,

Five-Mile Trail Sculpture Proposal

Mrs. Stone is concerned that the $500,000 price tag for art on the trail will be shot down on
social media before the project starts.

Mr. Hodges stated he thinks fundraising will offset some of the cost.

Ms. Donovan said TIF dollars will be unavailable for maintenance if TIF funds are not used for
initial purchase.

proposal.

responsible for irrigation and long-term maintenance.

Also, Native Roots proposes the Township purchase and install hanging flower baskets
throughout the Clough Pike business district. Native Roots will provide ongoing maintenance.

Mrs. Nappi likes the direction and wants to see costs. Mrs. Stone mentioned that the Salem
business district could also use beatification.

Staff stated the Salem district presented various challenges, with both layout and lack of
ownership of poles.

Mrs. Stone moved to retire to Executive Session to consider the employment or compensation
of a public employee or official as permitted by Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22(G)(1) and to
