GIRARD Wanting to see if neighboring Liberty and Weathersfield townships wanted to take part in a feasibility study on possibly forming a joint fire district, Girard city officials sent out letters to the two communities seeking a response, with one township indicating it would not be taking part.
Council President Reynold Paolone told city council Monday that Weathersfield Township Administrator David Rouan responded to the query. Rouan said his township because it has a much smaller hybrid fire department and staff, mostly part-time and volunteer than Girard and Liberty currently serves the township on its own well.
Rouan stated in the letter the Weathersfield Fire Department’s budget is over $277,000.

GIRARD After recent incidents involving pit bulls, including one killing another dog, city officials are cracking down on vicious canines following guidelines from an ordinance originally approved in 1987.
Mayor James Melfi told city council this week that a pit bull has been running loose in the city, mainly in the Tod Avenue area and near Tod Park, and residents are complaining about the dog being aggressive.
He said an ordinance approved in July 1987 indicates that no resident should own and harbor a pit bull terrier.
“We have been getting some calls about dogs, which is not unusual in the spring. The dogs that have been bothersome have been pit bulls. We will not allow our citizens to be intimidated by dog owners who do not follow the law,” Melfi said.
