Seventeen Years of Improvement in our Township

By Tom Bryan

During my 17 years of service for the residents of Springfield Township, the quality of service and therefore the quality of life has continually been improved.

I have lived in Springfield Township for 36 years, operated my business here for over 29 years, and am honored and proud of serving as one of your trustees for the last seventeen years.

When I became Trustee seventeen years ago, the residents of Springfield Township did not benefit from any of the following:

A township 24/7 Fire/EMS department and comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)

An accredited police department, ranked in the top 10% in the USA

Township-wide zoning and property maintenance codes

The Grove Hall and a Seniors/Community Center with Director

Development Services Director

Citizen Based Vision and Land Use plans

Hummer and Warder Parks

Home Rule

Curfew and Noise Resolutions

Residential Recycling and bins behind the Township Building

Aggregation of gas and electric purchases saving residents hundreds of dollars per year

State of the art facilities make it possible to house fire and EMS/ALS personnel on-station 24/7 and hosting of the Hamilton County Urban Search and Rescue Team Equipment. To keep you informed and involved, a monthly electronic Township newsletter, a Township web site, a Citizen's Police Academy and Alumni Association, Citizens on Patrol, Police Cadet and Explorer Programs, Kid's Police and Fire Academies, and a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program are provided.

To reduce Township expenses, we pursue federal and state grants and other funding. The Township has been awarded over 9 million dollars since 1995. An independent consultant evaluates Township roads and establishes priorities for repairs and resurfacing.

On November 3, I would appreciate your vote to allow me to continue the programs I have implemented over the last 17 years. My goal is to continue to improve your quality of life and the quality of service provided by your Township.

Trustee, Tom Bryan
