OLD BUSINESS

 

Recycling Report – Faye Wilson would like Art and whoever else is available on August 14th, to come to the Collection to see how the process works with the Evart trailer.  Faye also stated that monies will be available for a new trailer.  Anja was concerned that we would get a new trailer and they would go and change the whole thing again.  New volunteers are working out real well, but we are still in need of a coordinator.

 

Zoning Report – See full report attached

Attorney’s suggested to Trevor for him not to go to the judge, because it could make her angry.  Trevor will check into the Russell Bates case some more and report back after speaking with Lori Luckett.  Trevor will also check into requirements for mobile homes in the township.

 

Assessor’s Report – 14 Point mini review was done on June 14th.

 

Sexton’s Report –   Chuck was absent so no report was given.

Flag Lighting – Heather handed out flyers on solar light.  Flag etiquette states the flag should be properly lighted if hanging 24/7.  Heather will check Meijer to see how much their solar lights are and to compare the specs from the sheets she gave us.  Pam Hall commented on the solar light and asked if we really needed a flag.  Art replied that monies were left to the Township for the specific purpose of having a flag.

 

Fire District Report – Art has been trying to get administrative board to meet.  Administration stated to him that the meets do not have to be quarterly according to the agreement that was set up just that they have to meet 4 times a year.  The Fire District board will possibly be meeting July 27th or 28th.  Pam Hall commented that maybe we need to let our township reps know that the agreement may need to be amended to state quarterly.

 

Cooperative Committee – Stacie talked about improvements that are being discussed in the town hall such as an air conditioner, building of new cupboards and tearing out of old, also the purchase of a new vacuum cleaner.  Art will speak to Carol about the agreement.
