Old Business –
PPSSD – Colin Marcusen called in from SEH to this meeting. He reviewed the Memorandum Dated October 31, 2013 from SEH. Some issues discussed were; the proposal from Moosehorn Resort to the Township regarding using part of their land to run lines to two other parties in the district. The Township Board has decided to not go with this proposal and will go another route to reach these two members of the district. All members of the district will have to pay capitol cost even if they don’t connect right away. The system has to be designed for the maximum flow right from the start. Metering was discussed and Colin will check further on this matter as to how and when this should be done.
VNP Clean Waters JPB – This information is now on the SEH web site.
Roads & Trails – Clerk Manninen will get a contract together for Greg House for snow plowing for 2013/2014. Chairman Nevalainen moved to reimburse Jim Tomczak, $250.00, for gas and time for mowing at the Community Center, seconded by Supervisor Kiner, motion carried.
Community Center Planning – Marlene Tomczak reported that the windows and insulation were delivered to Northern Lumber but was not sure when it would be delivered to Kabetogama. Marlene received the plans and equipment proposal from Culinex in the amount of about $20,000 for everything.. Marlene spoke with our representative regarding grants but they said there is none available for community centers. The propane tank is here and full. Marlene got a sheet rock lifter from Whites Rental and they agreed to charge for 4 days only but we could keep it for 7 days. The walls have been spray foamed. The roofing material should be in on Wednesday. Larry Kec spoke to Marlene about the tile flooring in the hall and said he would volunteer to install it. Another person has said that he would install other flooring in the hall and sell the materials at cost. Another kind person has donated 4 speakers and the wiring to go with them.
