Fair board considers discipline against member after misconduct complaints

COSHOCTON − The Coshocton County Fair Board is considering possible disciplinary action against member and treasurer Jason Massie after receiving several complaints regarding misconduct from the public and others connected to the fair. Fair board member and director Jade Dreher turned in several complaints against Massie that were given to her, spurred by incidents at the fair in October. Other complaints go back several years and include allegations of verbal abuse, threats of violence and misuse of a director’s authority. Massie has disputed portions of the allegations while saying he could have handled at least one confrontation differently. The board discussed the matter in executive session Nov. 9 and plans to meet again Nov. 16 to consider what action, if any, to take. Although some complaints involved members of the public violating fairground rules, including one at the most recent fair involving outside alcohol, Dreher said those violations did not excuse Massie’s conduct. At the October meeting, Dreher said "A violation of fairground rules by a member of the public does not excuse inappropriate conduct by a member of this board,” she told the Tribune. “This is not about personalities, friendships, disagreements or taking sides. This is about accountability.” “We

Coshocton to study future of law enforcement services

Correction made regarding the safety and security levy being an income tax levy COSHOCTON − City officials are commissioning a $35,000 study of Coshocton's law enforcement needs and its contract with the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office. However, Mayor Mark Mills said the review doesn't mean the city is preparing to establish its own police department. Mills believes the law enforcement feasibility study will benefit the city and the sheriff's office be examining needs and the services currently provided. He didn't expect the city to pursue establishing a police department anytime soon, but wants information available should the city consider doing so in the future. "If we ever decide to say, 'Hey, we're not going to contract with the sheriff's office, we're going to do law enforcement on our own,' then that document exists," Mills said. "It's not a gotcha. It's not a 'we want to do something else.' It's 'we're going to gather the data, put it together and we're going to have it.'" Sheriff Chris Walters was made aware of the city administration's intent to pursue the study before the proposal was presented to city council. He said his office will cooperate with consultants.
