Wayne Township

What Wayne Township does

Wayne Township is a political subdivision of the State of Ohio located in Butler County, serving approximately 4,440 residents within the Edgewood Local School District. It is governed by a three-member elected Board of Trustees (Bill Jones as Chair, Mike Truster as Vice Chair, and Ed Truster) with Laura Daley serving as Fiscal Officer and Zoning Administrator. The township delivers core municipal services directly: volunteer fire protection and emergency medical services through a 26-member department organized in 1948 under Fire Chief Doug Hoit, road maintenance for approximately 30 road miles under Road Supervisor Austin Young, maintenance of five cemeteries (Simonson Chapel, Shiloh Baptist, Cotton Run, Old Jacksonburg, and Hutchin-Brelsford) covering 11 acres of grounds, zoning administration, and general township governance.

The township's underlying technology is conventional municipal infrastructure with no proprietary platform. Communications are delivered through a website (waynetownship.net), a Facebook page that broadcasts Trustee meetings via Facebook Live, an email newsletter hosted on Benchmark Email, an online citizen request portal, and a biannual printed newsletter titled 'Wayne's Flames.' Operational technology consists of standard road maintenance equipment and fire/EMS apparatus; the 2021 $37,000 James M. Cox Foundation grant funded structural firefighting turnout gear and vehicle stabilization tools.

Wayne Township's revenue model is a hybrid of recurring property tax assessments (as a Butler County subdivision), one-time fees for cemetery services (gravesites $450 resident/$750 non-resident; burial opening/closing $500 resident/$700 non-resident; cremation burial $200 resident/$250 non-resident), transactional fees for zoning certificates and building permits (new construction $300, accessory structures $35–$50, hearing fees $500), and a minor $5 fee per fire/EMS incident report. Customer segments are purely geographic: the residents of Wayne Township, with no adjacent customer base or commercial market. Strategic partners include MetroParks of Butler County (developing the 84.2-acre Angst Nature Preserve MetroPark under a Three Valley Conservation Trust easement), mutual aid partners in Butler, Preble, and Warren counties, and referral partners such as SELF, MidPointe Library, and the Butler County Department of Development.
