Fire Department
For the past two years, officials of the American Township have been in negotiations with the Elida Fire Company in an effort to find common ground.  However, it appears that an agreement containing meaningful Township representation and accountability cannot be reached.  At the regular meeting of the American Township held on April 30, 2007, Trustees passed a Resolution by a 3-0 vote to "take all necessary steps to terminate the Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services of American Township".  The last contract between American Township and The Elida Fire Company called for a 60 day notice to be given by either party upon termination of contract.  Therefore, the Township will begin running its own fire/EMS department in July.
