You can always opt out.
Think about it. We'd love for you to stay informed about our great community!
Fire/EMS levy passes
November, 2019
Claridon residents authorized the renewal of 2.0 Fire/EMS levy to be a continuous levy by voting for the passage of the levy. Because of the passage of this renewal, the trustees unanimously passed a resolution to suspend collection of the 2.3 mill fire/EMS levy by the full dollar for dollar amount of the 2.0 mill Fire/EMS levy. Please click here to view the resolution. Contact any of the trustees to learn why this resolution was necessary. Please check this website regularly as we will soon post details of all levies the Township collects.
Here are the results of the passage of the 2.0 levy.
Between Claridon Township and Aquilla Village, 710 ballots were cast.
There are 2,106 registered voters so this is a showing of 33.71% of registered voters.
There were 700 votes on the Fire/EMS levy.
471 (67.29%) residents voted 'For' the levy and 229 (32.71%) voted 'Against' the levy.

Our Board of Elections and pole workers did a great job as they rolled with the punches through the rollercoaster ride of March 16 as the final answer to whether the poles would be open or not was not realized until after most were already in bed, preparing for a very early morning in service to the public. Thanks to all of them.

COMMUNITY
March, 2019
During these unfamiliar times, it's good to think of the well being of those around us.
Our creed should be, 'We are in this together because together, we're better'!
'Together' means our family, our neighbors and our community.
Let's watch out for one another because you can't put a price on the wonderful benefits of a caring community.
Together, we're better!
-Trustee Jonathan Tiber

"How Can I Help?"
These are unfamiliar times. We're accustmed to do our daily routines, receive our daily blessings. We are used to having answers. So what do we do? The longer I serve the people of Claridon, the more I see the kind of high quality people that make up our community.
Our community is made up of caring, hardworking, faithful, loyal and common sense people. We have a community full of them! Many are asking, :"How can I help?". Some local orginizations are working on stratigies to safely and healthely help folks during the 'Stay at Home' order. Once they do, I'll share them here on our website so you can review different ways you can help. For now, here's what we have;
Geauga Medical Center
March 26, 2020
Geauga Medical Center continues to work diligently on making sure they are prepared to care for patients under the most demanding of circumstances. At the current time, Geauga Medical Center is doing well and is more than capable of delivering the highest level of care for all of their patients as they want to be ready for the "worst case scenario". Hence, they need help with the following:
Ventilators
Surgical gloves
Surgical masks
N95 masks
Other types of face masks
Face shields
Protective eyewear.
If you or others would like to make a donation, please contact Julie Novak, Director of Operations and Safety Officer at Julie.Novak@UHHospitals.org
