WEST CHESTER COMMUNITY REPORT
PARKS MASTER PLAN
A Guide for West Chester's Future Recreation Development to be Revealed Early 2025
Acommitment to making sure West Chester remains competitive, marketable and sustainable – as well as a great place to live – drives development of an up-to-date parks master plan for the community.
Stakeholders including agency partners from Travel Butler County, Butler County MetroParks, Lakota Schools and residents have been engaged with consultants from Hitchcock Design Inc. since May 2024 to develop a roadmap for future recreational amenities and programming.
The resulting Master Plan is expected to be revealed in early 2025.
The Park Master Plan is not intended to be a list of “wants”, but rather a strategic document to guide West Chester’s decision-making with regard to park facilities and open space, recreation programs and operations. The final document will represent a 10-20year strategy for Boards of Trustees to
consider.
“The Township’s resources for park development are somewhat limited and this document will help prioritize when considering future recreational demands,” said Community Services Director Arun Hindupur.
The scope of the master plan includes an inventory of existing public and private recreational amenities available to the community and a study
of recreational/demographic trends including feedback gathered from several feedback sessions and National Community Survey.
West Chester Township has four park/open space areas – Keehner Park, Beckett Park, The Square and the Upper Mill Creek Conservation Corridor. West Chester residents also benefit from the Voice of America MetroPark.
FUN ON HOLD.....FOR NOW
2 Park Projects Delayed, Still in the Works and Ready to Roll for 2025
Promises of a Beckett Park Splash Pad for Summer 2024 were thwarted by a long list of unanticipated permit delays, but water fun is still in our future.
“We know the community is frustrated by the delays, West Chester is too,” said Arun Hindupur, Community Services Director. “We had hoped to be splashing this summer, but state permitting issues related to water safety dragged on much longer than could have
been anticipated.”
The $1.54 million project is funded with State Route 747 TIF resources generated by corporate development. The splash playground will be constructed in an area now allocated as a man-made water feature near the picnic shelter on the west side of the park.
The project was approved by the Board of Trustees in Fall 2023 and hit stumbling blocks with permitting shortly after the project began.
“Making sure we meet all requirements for safe water at the splash pad is paramount,” Arun said. “It’s just disappointing that it has taken this long to clear these hurdles.”
A splash pad should be open for play when warm weather returns in 2025.
Another planned project to update West Chester’s Square @ Union Centre is being pushed to allow sufficient construction time with minimal interference to summer events. Final drawings for the remodel are nearing
completion with bidding expected to take place yet this year.
Construction, however, will likely begin late summer 2025 in order to accommodate early summer events like Shamrock Shuffle, Food Truck Rally and The Takeover (abbreviated season).
The re-imagining of The Square will make room for a covered stage, additional shade and more seating.
OUR TEAM WORKS FOR YOU!
West Chester Wants to Hear From You; National Community Survey Continues
Your input helps guide decisions and build a community “where families grow and businesses prosper.”
Of course, the Township can’t make every wish come true nor can every decision be made by committee. But, community input is important whether for a Parks Master Plan, a zoning issue before the Board of Trustees, or any number of matters considered.
Residents and property owners are free to speak at public meetings of the West Chester Board of Trustees. There are feedback forms available on the Township’s website, westchesteroh.org. And, of course, a phone call or email are also appropriate.
West Chester has also now partnered with POLCO to provide another opportunity for community input. Through POLCO, West Chester is conducting The National Community Survey to collect feedback on a wide range of services in the community and compare results to other communities
across the country.
In order to be considered statistically valid, 3,000 addresses were randomly selected from a wide geographic area of the Township. These residents received surveys through the mail to be completed and returned.
If you didn’t get a survey, West Chester still wants to hear from you. Open participation of the survey continues until November 10, and is available at the QR code provided.
Survey results and ongoing survey interaction with residents will be available by visiting the DIG (Data Informed Government) page on the Township’s website, and registering with Polco.
“POLCO presents the opportunity for West Chester to reach out to interested residents and pose questions periodically about the community and our operations,” said Public Information and Engagement Director Barb Wilson. “Subscribing to the digital version of the Community Report keeps residents

BACK TO SCHOOL
West Chester Partners with Lakota Local Schools and Butler Tech for Safety
Safety is priority #1 for the Lakota Local School District and West Chester Township. And, just as students returned to school in August, so did the nine West Chester police officers assigned as School Resource Officers (SROs).
“Having officers present in our schools, building relationships with students and faculty makes our schools safer,” said West Chester Interim Police Chief Brian Rebholz. “The program reinforces the fact that police officers are there to help while enhancing the police/ community relationship. When kids need help or someone to turn to, an SRO is there to assist.”
Throughout the year, West Chester Police work closely with the school community training and developing plans for response in a crisis such as an active shooter event, or fight, or any other possible emergency. The West Chester Fire Department works alongside in these trainings because getting medical aid to possible victims as quickly as possible can make a real difference.
“We work together as a team with students and staff, as well as our fellow Fire Department first responders to respond to and mitigate or prevent
emergency situations,” Chief Rebholz said.
About 21 percent of West Chester’s population is school age (between the ages of 5 and 19) and together with faculty and their families represent a significant segment of our community.
Lakota Schools pays the cost for eight assigned SROs and Butler Tech pays for one officer. The cost includes salary, retirement premium, Medicare and Workers Compensation for the nine months of the school year ($781,813.24 for Lakota and $102,199.05 for Butler Tech).
An SRO is assigned to each building in West Chester. School buildings in Liberty Township contract with the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.
In light of school shootings across the country, the extra level of security and the training that takes place with school staff and students to mitigate and address potential threats is priceless.
“The SRO program enhances policing efforts because of the valued relationships the SROs establish with the students,” Chief Rebholz said. “Through these relationships, the police departments build rapport with students and staff producing many positive
STAY AWARE
Never have there been SOOOO many distractions on the road. These distractions at critical times can mean the difference between life and death for a pedestrian, cyclist or motorist.
With kids back to school, the stakes have never been higher.
PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS: As West Chester endeavors to be more pedestrian friendly, our community must learn to be more mindful of pedestrian crossings at intersections and mid-block. Pedestrians in a crosswalk with a “walk” signal have the right-of-way and motorists must wait for the pedestrian to safely cross. Same is true at a mid-block signalized pedestrian crossing.
Mid-block crossings in Olde West Chester and on West Chester Road
(between Lakota West and the MidPointe Library) can be especially vulnerable when motorists and pedestrians are distracted. When the stakes are so high, however, pedestrians and motorists should be VERY focused and aware of their surroundings.
Before stepping into the roadway, pedestrians must be aware off their surroundings – take headphones off and put the cell phone away – before making sure traffic has stopped first and then stepping off the curb.
SCHOOL BUS SAFETY: When a school bus is stopped and has its warning features activated, motorists travelling in both directions must stop and patiently wait. Children getting on and off the school bus count on motorists heeding the warnings of the school bus driver.
outcomes for all involved.”
SROs in the schools are prepared to respond immediately in any crisis always putting the safety of students and staff first.
West Chester officers apply and are selected to fill positions as School Resource Officers. They often go above-and-beyond traditional roles, volunteering as coaches and seeking opportunities to engage in the school community.
During the summer months, SROs rejoin the ranks of Township patrol officers.

TOOLS FOR A FIRE-SAFE HOUSE
A Few Items for the Holiday Gift List That May Save A Life
The West Chester Fire Department recommends a few items that should be on every homeowners list for Santa – if they don’t have them already.
Working smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguisher, fire blankets, and range hood fire suppression pucks are tools every homeowner should have on hand.
Firefighters know firsthand the difference these tools make in protecting lives and property.
Key takeaways on smoke detectors – a must-have for every home:
• Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area (like a hallway), and on each level (including the basement) of the home.
• Make sure smoke alarms meet the needs of all family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.
• Test smoke alarms at least once a month by pushing the test button.
• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or don’t respond when tested.
Having working smoke alarms in the home reduces the risk of dying in a home fire by more than half. Today’s building materials burn faster than ever before, allowing as little as two minutes to exit
safely. Working smoke alarms are your best chance for an early warning.
While escaping a burning property safely and calling 911 are the priority, small home fires may be extinguished before they get out of hand. Calling 911 in case of fire is essential, but extinguishing small fires using a special fire blanket or extinguisher can reduce damage to your home.
“Homeowners must always be prepared for a safe emergency exit to escape spreading fire,” said West Chester Bureau Chief Scott Brooks. “Your life is more important than your property. Keeping your back to a safe exit at all times, small stovetop fires, grill fires and the like, caught right away can be extinguished with the right tools.”
West Chester resident Maria Steinbach experienced a stovetop fire in July. She purchased fire blankets for her daughters and herself as a Christmas present, and she quickly deployed the blanket to extinguish the fire.
“It was so easy to use that I don’t even remember using it,” Maria said. The fire was out right away and firefighters were impressed by her quick thinking. It’s important to note that Maria was in the kitchen when the fire started and so the fire didn’t have the opportunity to spread.
Cooking remains the most significant cause of home fires and range hood fire
AGGREGATION
suppressors (available for about $50) can help reduce the threat. Range hood fire suppression “pucks” automatically release an agent to extinguish fires when flames reach the hood. Chief Brooks said these have been a valuable tool in apartment complex kitchens where cooking fires can be devastating to so many families.
With cold winter months ahead, Chief Brooks also suggests making sure every home has a working carbon monoxide detector and home heating equipment is carefully inspected. Carbon monoxide is known as the “silent killer” and when our homes are sealed up for winter we are at the greatest risk.

Giving Options to Local Consumers of Electricity and Natural Gas
Eligible West Chester residents should have received notice this fall from AEP Energy, West Chester Township’s natural gas aggregation supplier, announcing a new rate of $0.5894 per ccf. The new rate starts with the November 2024 bill and continues through the October 2025 bill. In November 2005, West Chester residents voted for an "opt-out" aggregation program for the community. The new natural gas rates for the West Chester Township aggregation program is less than the previous rate of $0.839 / ccf through your October 2024 meterreading-date.
Residents may choose to exit the aggregation program at any time without penalty by calling AEP Energy at toll free at 1-877-726-0214 and requesting to exit the program.
To "opt out" or enroll in West Chester's Natural Gas Aggregation Program, or for specific questions, call AEP Energy toll free at (877) 726-0214, or visit aepenergy.com.
West Chester residents participating in the traditional electric aggregation program pay $0.0669 per kWh, and the renewable energy option is $0.0708 per kWh, both through the December 2025 meter read with Energy Harbor as the provider.
West Chester Township partners with Energy Alliances, Inc., a natural gas aggregation agent and electric aggregation broker. Currently, natural gas is supplied by AEP Energy and electric is supplied by Energy Harbor.
Residents may opt out of either the natural gas or electric aggregation program at any time without penalty. West Chester Township government receives no benefit directly from the aggregation program.
West Chester encourages consumers to remain informed of the program by visiting westchesteroh.org.
PANDEMIC RELIEF
Federal, State, and County Funding Sources Eased Taxpayer Burden and Enriched Services
Since 2020 West Chester has received more than $16.57 million in pandemic relief funds through various levels of government and specified for various purposes tied to recovery from the pandemic. Grant funding can never be counted on as an ongoing revenue source for operations, but West Chester has endeavored to use the monies in a manner to provide relief to taxpayers while meeting the rules applied to each funding source.
All CARES Act and ARPA funds distributed directly to West Chester were used to cover expenses that may have otherwise been the responsibility of taxpayers. Funding that came to West Chester through other entities had further restrictions applied and, in these cases, funding was earmarked for supporting under-served populations, small businesses and wellness first responders.
West Chester invested all of the relief funds that came directly to the Township to the two most expensive aspects of Township operations – infrastructure and public safety.
Nearly $8.6 million of the pandemic relief funding went to public safety –police, fire/EMS and 911 dispatch.
“Using the pandemic relief funding to cover personnel costs, provides relief to West Chester tax payers because it will buy us time before needing to request a public safety levy ,” said West Chester Finance Director Ken Keim. “Using the funding this way addressed the immediate need to provide these critical services in a time of uncertainty with all the shut downs etc., and worry about the economy as a whole, but also indirectly provides tax relief for our citizens in the longer term.”
More than 80% of the annual budgets for police and fire/EMS are attributed to personnel costs.
Additional ARPA funding coming from the State of Ohio in 2022-2024 was targeting retention of first responders, and the Township appropriated about $665,00.00 to first responder wellness initiatives and retention bonuses for the Township’s first responders in police, fire/EMS and 911 dispatch.
Again ARPA has covered funding
for purposes, but rules were applied to the allocations limiting its uses.
West Chester Township always applied the bulk of the funding to an expense that met the requirements and would otherwise fall to taxpayers –infrastructure. Much of West Chester’ vast network of storm water and road systems were developed within a short period of time and are also aging and deteriorating at the same rate.
More than $6.6 million of ARPA funding was designated to address aging infrastructure with most of the funding going toward repair and replacement of storm water infrastructure. This money purchased a vacuum truck that will help address storm water issues well into the future and repaired and replaced storm pipe and catch basins throughout the Township. In 2023 approximately 2,400 linear feet of storm pipe was replaced; and in 2024, 90 failed catch basins were rebuilt and 1,800 feet of pipe replaced.
This is necessary and needed work that would have been challenging to achieve in two years’ time with typical budgetary limitations. ARPA created the opportunity to advance necessary work without restricting or limiting other important work.
In 2020/2021, Butler County allocated some funding to each community to support small business. West Chester established the SPARK grant program and awarded $287,583 in improvements to 28 SPARK grant recipients.
A $150,000 Butler County allocation of ARPA funding is supporting West Chester Township’s Senior Transportation Service with the purchase of two new vans. The Service is operated by volunteers and helps get seniors to doctor’s appointments, grocery stores and social gatherings so they can remain independent in their homes.
“The pandemic relief funding is not a revenue source that can be counted on forever, but while it was available the Township pursued opportunities to use the money in a way that met the rules and obligations, but also relieved expenses that would otherwise have belonged to taxpayers,” Ken said.
COMMUNITY SERVICE UPDATES
Rumpke Combines Trash, Recycle Rate for West Chester Customers
Rumpke Waste and Recycling announced plans to offer one combined rate for weekly curbside trash and recycling customers in West Chester Township, effective March 1, 2025.
The new rate of $23.25, secured for one year, represents a savings of $5.25 to current residential customers using both trash and recycling services. No action is necessary for current customers to receive the new rate.
Residents who use Rumpke trash hauling service but not recycling may need to request a Rumpke recycling container to participate. Participation is not required, although no discount is offered for trash customers who wish to forgo recycling with Rumpke.
About 50% of Rumpke customers in West Chester Township already participate in its separate recycling program, according to a presentation by Rumpke officials at the August 27, 2024.
West Chester has worked for years to engage residents in responsible recycling efforts since eliminating its free community recycling drop off centers in late 2022. As reported in the Fall 2023 issue of the West Chester
COMMUNITY REPORT, a West Chester Township survey found more than 93% of respondents in favor of a combined curbside trash and recycling program if it would save them money.
A request for bids for communitywide service issued by the Township netted only one responsive bid – Rumpke. The cost savings per customer was limited and it would require all West Chester residents to use Rumpke as their hauler. A greater savings may have been realized if the Township agreed to take on the billing responsibility for these service – a function West Chester does not have capacity to fulfill.
The Township hoped to achieve more savings for residents, but that was not the outcome of the process, according to Administrator Larry D. Burks. This community pricing program does encourage residents to take advantage of curbside recycling and provide larger trash pick-ups with some savings. It does not mandate which company residents choose, nor the level of service they acquire.
The new combined service includes the weekly collection of up to six 30-gallon trash cans or bags or two
Rumpke 95-gallon carts; and collection of one Rumpke 18-gallon bin or Rumpke 65-gallon cart for recycling. The new rate does not account for a fuel surcharge, which Rumpke says it bills quarterly.
West Chester Township residents and stakeholders remain free to contract with the trash and/or recycling hauler of their choosing. Customers who switch to Rumpke will receive the same combined rate.
The new combined rate is subject to adjustment from year to year.

DISPOSING OF THE TOUGH STUFF
Special Collection Services Help Residents Rid Homes of Items Not Fit for Landfill
It’s easy for stuff to pile up and to feel overwhelmed by how to eliminate the junk that accumulates in our homes and on our property. Not everyone is a hoarder, but the tendency to hang on to things we don’t know how to get rid of is common.
The Butler County Recycling & Solid Waste District serves the county by promoting recycling, waste reduction and responsible disposal of all wastes from households, businesses and industry. A $1.00 per ton solid waste generation fee funds the District.
The District is a great resource with a comprehensive website to answer resident’s questions about recycling and responsible disposal of all sorts of items. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
This has been the mantra of the movement to reduce unwanted items
heading to the landfill with long-range environmental impact. What happens to the items that might have potential for recycling, but can’t be simply added to our curbside recycling cart? What to do with the items that can’t be recycled, but are hazardous for disposal in a landfill?
A comprehensive list of special collection services – public programs, non-profits and local businesses – for these items is available at the Butler County Recycling & Solid Waste District website. There may be fees associated.
Also, as communities in the South continue to re-build from impacts of dangerous fall storms, please consider visiting Matthew 25: Ministries online for the long list of items they accept to support our neighbors around the world. It’s possible that the items you’re struggling to get rid of, can be put to use.
Some disposal strategies:
• Freon Appliances: Cohen Industries
• Batteries: Alkaline batteries (C, D, A, AAA, 9 volt) in regular trash; Lithium batteries require special disposal: Cohen Industries, Batteries Plus
• Computers and Televisions: Best Buy, Staples, Cohen Industries
• Household Hazardous Waste: Dropoffs Thursdays through Nov. 21, 2-7 p.m. at Republic Services. Find details for annual drop-off services at westchesteroh.org/recycle.
• Paint: Latex paints can be dried using sand or kitty litter and put in with trash. Oil-based paints must be considered Household Hazardous Waste. Matthew 25: Ministries accepts paint and will put it to good use.
NATIVE PLANTS SHOWCASED
The public sentiment toward native plantings is changing as the environmental promise of these more natural species is better understood. Native plantings may look less groomed, but they support a whole array of insect and birds species; and are less reliant on chemicals and even water in the long-term.
Check out a few great examples of native and pollinator gardens/ spaces in the community:
• We st Chester History Center on Station Road – Newly planted native garden is also designed to be interpretive of our history with a bison, wind mill and gathering space. The garden was just added in 2024 and will continue to grow.
• Keehner Park Cabin-in-the-Clearing Garden – Butler County Master Gardeners maintains the small garden near the cabin focusing on pollinator plants.
• Christ the King Lutheran Church on Dimmick Road, a pollinator garden focused on Monarch butterflies. They host a MonarchFest each June to educate and promots native planting.
• Rialto Road Project and Ellis Lakes – West Chester partners with several conservancy groups and Butler County MetroParks to support restoration of property across from the power sub-station on Rialto Road and other properties, accessible from Firebird Lane along the Mill Creek toward the western boundaries of the community. These natural wetlands are preserved through the state’s Clean Ohio Fund.
• Butler County MetroParks, Voice of America MetroPark – Portions of Voice of America MetroPark remain important birding areas due to the preservation of natural plant material
• Beckett Park West – Plantings around the lakes on the westside of Beckett Park are designed to encourage the natural environment and serve as habitat.
LIVE THE DREAM
West Chester & Liberty Celebrate MLK Day
It started with a mother’s desire to teach her children the reason for their January day off school and a quarter of a century later, Gail Webster’s commitment continues to touch thousands of lives in Butler County.
Live the Dream: Our Declaration of Unity is a formal observation of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday hosted by the people of West Chester and Liberty townships and Lakota Local Schools. Webster, a resident of West Chester, had the idea for a local event in the mid-1990s after finding none north of downtown Cincinnati.
On Monday, Jan. 20, 2025 the public is invited for a half-mile march beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the shopping plaza formerly home to Cabela’s, now Floor & Decor, on Liberty Way. The marchers will make their way to Liberty Center’s Sabin Hall for a presentation with speakers including Lakota students.
Live the Dream: Our Declaration of Unity began in 1999 with a student contest to choose a name for the annual observance. The march portion was added in 2003 and a luncheon, made possible through generous donations from area restaurants, was added to follow the march in 2005. While locations of these activities have been shuffled over the years, the activities themselves remain traditions to this day.
Webster says her pursuits have always been guided by her faith. Over years of networking and building community, she has assembled a team of friends, neighbors, churchgoers, school and faith leaders, government officials and volunteers to help coordinate activities and, she says, the door is always open for others to join the planning committee. Call 513-860-4049 or email confusion@fuse.net for details.
A student essay/art contest is a centerpiece of the community celebration. Student work from the 2024 event can be viewed on WCTV and the 2025 student entries will be posted leading up to the January event.
