Section 6101.13 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) requires the creation of a Plan for Improvements or “Official Plan” for the District. The former Lake Erie Conservancy District No. 1 and Howard Farms Conservancy District were consolidated under a petition filed and court order issued by the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas in 1993. This petition combining the two (2) prior Conservancy Districts into what is now known as the Reno Beach/Howard Farms Conservancy District is commonly referred to as “The Amalgamation”. The amalgamation document contains a general description of the duties and responsibilities of the District and serves as our Official Plan. A PDF copy of the amalgamation document may be downloaded by clicking here.
