Documenters: Rootstown Township trustees meeting for June 9, 2026

The Rootstown Township trustees met on June 9, 2026, for their regular meeting. In attendance at Rootstown Township Hall were trustees Joe Paulus, Dave McIntyre and Brett Housley. Also attending were Fiscal Officer Linda Hankins, Fire Chief Charles Palmer, Service Director Bill Hahn, Zoning Administrative Assistant Jordan Michael and Trustees Administrative Assistant Julie Gonzales. 

The meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m. Following the pledge and the approval of the minutes of the May meeting, Paulus introduced John Fassnacht, president of the Rootstown Historical Society. Fassnacht said he was there to “provide special accolades for people in the room who have been at their jobs 10 years or longer.” The attention was one of the society's efforts to recognize 25 township residents as part of the America 250 celebration. Those who received recognition included Hahn, Michael and Palmer (on behalf of the entire fire department). Also recognized was resident Bill Morgan. McIntyre added to the accolades for Morgan, saying “he doesn’t half do anything. This guy is a community servant through and through.”
