While holding her 6-year-old-granddaughter, Aubrie, Lisa Oles announced her resignation as a trustee effective Feb. 1.

“I have appreciated the love and the support that the residents have shown me through the years,” Oles said tonight. “It has truly, truly been an amazing journey for me, but nothing lasts forever, and my journey as your Austintown trustee will end.”

Oles said she and her husband are relocating to Colorado. She received a standing ovation from the crowd in attendance, mostly made up of Austintown Fitch High School students.

The Rev. Rick Stauffer, who was at Monday’s trustee meeting, is Oles’ recommendation to fill the rest of her 11-month term.

In other business, township officials highlighted three recent deaths of residents who impacted the community — Melanie Mayesky, John Serenko and Dean McClain.
