BCI Investigation Closed: The Ross Township Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that BCI has completed their investigation. The Board felt it was necessary to initiate this inquiry with a fair and impartial party. For the purpose of openness and transparency, we wanted the residents of Ross Township to be confident that their precious tax dollars are being spent and overseen, wisely. The findings of BCI and the Butler County Prosecutors office are that there is no evidence of any wrong doing and the case is closed.   In the words of  Butler County Prosecutor, Mike Gmoser,  quote   “This is a tempest in a teapot. The investigation is over. Case closed.”   Any recommendations from the BCI investigation will be given the strongest possible consideration so that moving forward, we, along with the Fiscal Officer, the Township Administrator and the department heads can keep Ross Township a great place to live and work.

Ross Twp. Residents Needed to Serve on Board of Zoning Appeals

Should township-controlled zoning be approved by Ross Township voters during the November 2022 election, the Ross Township Board of Trustees will be seeking Ross Township residents to serve on a five-member (with two alternates) Board of Zoning Appeals. The appointments would be for a voluntary, up to five-year term.  Interested candidates must reside in Ross Township and must be able to attend monthly meetings at the Ross Township Government Center, 4055 Hamilton Cleves Road, Fairfield, Ohio 45014.  This board will only be in effect if the issue of township-controlled zoning passes on November 8, 2022.

The Ross Township Board of Zoning Appeals acts as an independent appellate board, which hears land use matters arising under the Ross Township Zoning Resolution such as variance and conditional use requests.
The Board also acts as a final authority regarding interpretations of the Zoning Resolution.  The Ross Township Board of Zoning Appeals holds jurisdiction over the following matters:  appeals, variances, conditional use/special exceptions, non-conforming use substitution/extension, and temporary structures.

Interested candidates should send a letter of interest, including a brief biography or resume, to Laurie Kile, Township Administrator, 4055 Hamilton Cleves Road, Fairfield, Ohio 45014, or [email protected] by October 31, 2022.
