During the month of August Trustees took up a request from the Richfield Volunteer Fire Company’s (RVFC) Board of Directors to consider the erection of these markers on properties throughout our community. The reasons cited by the RVFC are related to resident safety. Safety over insufficient mailbox markings, multiple mailbox groupings in residential subdivisions, non-sequential house numbering in some parts of the Village, shared driveway access points, and most importantly, increased efficiency and a reduction on emergency response times. In 2016, the RVFC responded to 466 EMS calls and 121 fire calls. PASER Results: The Village’s engineer completed its biennial review of the condition of our 146 miles of road. Each segment of roadway is rated on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being classified as a newly constructed road. The results of the study showed approximately 40 miles rated a 5 or worse needing repair and 46 miles rated at a 6, which is considered “Fair”. The Village Board referred these results to the CIP Subcommittee for review and analyzation. Passing of former Town Chairman John Kohl: On August 16th, our community lost one of its proverbial icons. Next month the Village Board will be considering a resolution honoring his life and service to the community. Richfield Days: Thank you to the men and women who helped organize and volunteer their time and talents to make Richfield Days a huge success this year!

Updates From Around the Village

Capital Improvement Plan (CIP): On August 17th the Village Board adopted the 2018-

2022 CIP. The CIP is a list of the major expenditures the Village expects to save for or

spend money on over the next five (5) years. Roads are the single largest expenditures in

our annual CIP and budget . Next year, the Village intends to pave Mayfield Road from Pioneer Road south to Pleasant Hill Road and Monches Road from STH 164 to Plat Road.

The cost of each one (1) mile stretch of road is approximately $355,000. As a part of this

Plan, we also intend to save $212,000 towards the purchase of new vehicles in our fleet.

Rather than borrow money to pay for plow trucks, patrol trucks, etc. we save an equal share of the vehicle’s cost for each year of its expected lifespan. This fiscally responsible

approach assures that when vehicles come due or unexpected major mechanical failures

occur, that we have the capital to pay for them.

DPW Building: The Village recently signed an agreement for masonry repairs, the

installation of control joints to help with building movement, and the exterior painting of the Village’s DPW Building. The building, constructed 19 years ago at a cost of

approximately $600,000, has had limited masonry work preformed on it over the years

and still has its original coat of blue paint on it. Repairs such as this are necessary to

extend the life of this vital Village facility.

Address Markers: On October 19th, the Board will continue their discussion on Village-

wide address markers. During the month of August Trustees took up a request from the

Richfield Volunteer Fire Company’s (RVFC) Board of Directors to consider the erection of

these markers on properties throughout our community. The reasons cited by the RVFC

are related to resident safety. Safety over insufficient mailbox markings, multiple mailbox groupings in residential subdivisions, non-sequential house numbering in some

parts of the Village, shared driveway access points, and most importantly, increased

efficiency and a reduction on emergency response times. In 2016, the RVFC responded to

466 EMS calls and 121 fire calls.

PASER Results: The Village’s engineer completed its biennial review of the condition of our 146 miles of road. Each segment of roadway is rated on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being

classified as a newly constructed road. The results of the study showed approximately 40

miles rated a 5 or worse needing repair and 46 miles rated at a 6, which is considered “Fair”. The Village Board referred these results to the CIP Subcommittee for review and

analyzation.

Passing of former Town Chairman John Kohl: On August 16th, our community lost one

of its proverbial icons. Next month the Village Board will be considering a resolution

honoring his life and service to the community.

Public Works Thinks Fall

Winter will be here in no time and the Department of Public Works is already getting prepared! Currently, our Shop Foreman is

checking plow trucks, installing wings and salters that have been removed for summer hauling and ensuring all equipment

operates correctly. This work coincides with the day-to-day issues that pop-up. Regular maintenance such as oil changes and

other general repairs to the fleet as well as the unexpected breakdowns that occur, keep the shop busy every day!

Our Highway Crew has been busy with multiple projects such as ditch cleaning in areas that, over the years, have filled-in which

has reduced flow of storm water in the ditch line. Several new cross culverts have also been installed along with continued

shoulder work. Additionally, our Public Works team is in the process of coordinating with the Washington County Highway

Department for crack sealing and to asphalt some areas too large for our staff to address alone. By working with the Washington

County Highway Department, we can accomplish more results while maintaining our limited road budget. We are truly grateful

for all the assistance the County has provided.

Although the summer season is winding down, our Parks System continues to stay very busy! Fall baseball and soccer have

begun, requiring weekly field prep and painting. Grading of the trails at Heritage Park was recently completed, as well as the

installation of a small access trail from the new parking lot off Hubertus Road. Soon we

will be shutting down the restrooms and concession stands for the winter. Tree

trimming and general repairs to park features such as tables and benches will be

addressed as well.

The Transfer Station has been extremely busy all summer long! I can only assume that

this volume of use will continue into the fall months. Beginning October 9th, the

Transfer Station will be open for leaf drop-off. Residents can come during normal

business hours (7am to 3pm) Monday through Friday and during normal scheduled

days of operation for the Transfer Station to dispose of leaves. This drop-off is for

LEAVES ONLY and not for brush or woody materials. Leaf drop-off will end November

11th. There is no fee for dropping off leaves during this time. All other fees for disposal

remain the same.

As we have done in years past, we will be providing laths for marking the edge of

roadways during the winter months. These laths are available for all residents to use on

the road right-of-way to help our plow operators navigate the roadway when visibility

is reduced. If a resident chooses to install these laths along their property line we ask

that they be installed a minimum of 24” from the edge of pavement. When installed

right at the edge of the pavement there is no area for snow storage, causing the plow

operator to either plow over the lath or jogging away from it, possibly damaging the

shoulder on the opposite side of the roadway. These laths will be available beginning

late October.

Gun Use: Village Ordinances to Be Aware of During Hunting Season

School Consolidation

The Friess Lake School District School Board passed a

resolution to consolidate with the Richfield Joint School District

No. 1 at their Board meeting held on July 18th.

Likewise, on July 24th, the Richfield Joint School District No. 1

School Board adopted the same resolution, in order to

consolidate with the Friess Lake School District.

This decision to consolidate the schools was made after careful

consideration and much input from community members. Both

School Boards feel that the community’s students will be better

served if the Friess Lake and Richfield School Districts join

forces as a unified system. Both districts, and the Richfield

community, have a history of supporting the interests and

needs of our students. In establishing this new district, both

Boards have committed to work tirelessly to ensure that new

traditions of excellence are created.

Though consolidation will mean significant changes for the

2018/19 school year, we are working hard to make everything

flow as seamlessly as possible. Parents and students in both

original districts should not expect an interruption in services

this year. Each administration team has been careful in their

planning and consideration for the upcoming school year, so

that “business” will carry on as usual. As teachers, board

members, and administrators ring-in the 2017/18 school year,

preliminary plans for a newly consolidated school district will

enter phase one (1) of planning. The public is encouraged to

contact either District or school board members with any

questions, comments, or concerns.

Richfield Historical Society Update

Many people, when they hear the words Historical Society, think of something stuffy. However, the Richfield Historical Society

(RHS) partakes in various interesting activities such as: helping to manage the Richfield Historical Park, preserve, restore and

reconstruct various historical buildings in the Park, provide tours and educational opportunities for students and residents, offer

projects for Eagle Scouts and Girl Scouts, and host fundraising events!

RHS has an agreement with the Village to manage the Richfield Historical Park which is joined with the Nature Park. This means

the actual Village “costs” to maintain the Historical Park are very minimal. While the Village owns all park buildings, over the years

RHS has funded the restoration of the west, north and east walls of the Messer/Mayer Mill (photographed below). Most recently

RHS and Village of Richfield awarded a bid to C.G. Schmidt to restore the south wall. RHS will again totally fund the mill

restoration project. As the property owner, the Village managed the bids but will now use monies donated by RHS to pay the cost

of the final exterior renovations.

At the July Village Board Meeting, it was

noted cost for reconstruction will be

$337,392.00, an amount that has been

funded through profits from RHS events

and generous donors. In addition to

financial donations, RHS has a treasure

trove of volunteers. From January 2017

through June of this year, there have been

6,400 volunteer hours logged. Many of

those volunteer hours have been lovingly

spent preserving historic buildings in the

Pioneer Homestead, located on the south

end of the Park near the Motz Log Cabin

and the Messer Log Barn. Both buildings

were dismantled, transported and

reconstructed in the park. The Lillicrapp

Welcome Center is a restored historic

home, located on the north end of the park,

and had originally been home to a family on

Amy Belle Lake.

The second area of the Richfield Historical

Park is the Timber Frame area with a

granary and maple sugar shack. These

structures are located on the south end of

the Historical Park.

New this year is the Blacksmith Shop

located across from the Sugar Shack. RHS

volunteers spent over 500 hours

dismantling the building and over 5,000

hours reassembling the structure!

Eagle Scouts have donated various projects

to the Park such as the Sugar Shack, the

Little Libraries and various benches for

visitors to utilize. The Girl Scouts have

constructed the bridge over the raceway

which provides a convenient walkway

between the Mill House and the Lillicrapp

Welcome Center, and what a phenomenal

job they all did! Stop in and check out the

Scouts’ handiwork throughout the Park.
