February 2014 Update
Hi, Folks.
Here are the latest crime and fire reports from the city of Gahanna.
The folks at the Gahanna Police department want this to be a joyous holiday season. But credit card fraud and identity theft can put a damper on the holiday spirit. Being an informed shopper, businessperson and citizen can help reduce these types of crimes.
The Gahanna police department has put together a 9-slide presentation on how you can thwart would-be thieves before they can get your personal information.

Credit Card Fraud and Identity Theft
This report is one of the many ways our police department helps keep the city of Gahanna safe and secure.
Attached please find the Monthly Report from the Gahanna Police Department. You will notice 3 incidents occurred in our neighborhood! If we want to feel safe, we need to be on the look out for odd cars and people in our area and contact the GPD at 342-4240 if anything looks strange. Use your security system… or get one. Use timers for interior lights and use outside lights at night. If you are taking a vacation or trip, let your neighbors know and complete a vacation watch with the GPD. We have to help each other out.
The Villages of Gahanna Homeowners Association is still trying to follow up with folks who’ve not contributed this year. We need to be able to pay for the maintenance of the entrances and we are working to replace signs announcing “Villages of Gahanna” at our 5 entrances. Your $20 also helps pay for our website and the advertising of the annual garage sale. Flyers will soon be again distributed.
On that same thought, does anyone know a reasonable sign maker or have ideas on how to get us inexpensive signs installed? If yes, please call me to discuss? It would really be great for visibility and neighborhood pride to get some signs up again.
On Monday April 22, the Villages of Gahanna Homeowners Association held our annual residents meeting. All present introduced themselves.
Mayor Becky Stinchcomb spoke on Issue 4 regarding the Income Tax issue that is on the City of Gahanna ballot for May 7. Plenty of details can be found on the City of Gahanna website: http://www.gahanna.gov/taxreform.aspx. Language on the actual ballot can be misleading, so she encourages everyone review the web site information and use the tax calculator to see how your family might be affected. She was gracious enough to answer all our questions.
VOGHA Treasurer Donna Simmons reviewed our bank account, contribution receipts so far and current and expected expenses. If you have not sent her your annual contribution of $20.00, please do so as soon as possible to her or through PayPal on our website: https://vogha.org/ . You can also follow us on Facebook there too!
Maintenance and repairs at our 5 entrances was discussed. We’ve contracted Winnscapes to do the cleanup and mulch again this year. What we’d really also like to do is install new signs at all the entrances to our development. Kristine Provan, new board member, has volunteered to research to find possible sign ideas. If anyone has suggestions, please contact me?
Kacy Bonaventura has volunteered to be the chairperson for our annual neighborhood garage sale. More information as to dates will be coming soon!
Finally, the residents were asked if there was anyone who wanted to join the VOGHA Board or make any changes in the Board makeup. No one opposed so the current Board will continue.

Please find attached the Gahanna Police Department UPDATE for March. If you have questions on it, please contact the GPD directly at 342-4240.
The City of Gahanna is offering shredding and recycling of household items (including electronics like old computer monitors) on Saturday April 20 from 9 am to 1 pm at the city administration parking lot. For more information, you can call 342-4090.
The City of Gahanna Code Enforcement Officer reminds that household trash should not put brought to the curb for pickup till Monday evenings.
Also, remember to add to your calendar our annual Villages of Gahanna Homeowners Association meeting on Monday, April 22 at 7 pm at St. Lukes on Morse Road. Gahanna Mayor will be our guest speaker and will talk on Issue 4 and the Gahanna Income Tax.
We look forward to seeing you!
