PPSSD – Nothing new at this time, just waiting for the bids to come in, in December. They will be opened on December 17, 2014
 
Roads and Trails – Discussion regarding clearing of township roads from wind and storm debris and township roads in general.  The debris is cleared up by calling Greg House.  The Township attorneys will be contacted regarding road issues

Community Center Planning – The plumbing is in now but there is sand in the water so it needs to be run out often to get rid of all the debris from being drilled and hydro-fracked.   Septic is up and running fine at this time.  Phil Hart has been working on fixing a problem with the front doors.  Greg House has done a very fine job with the parking area.  Wagner still has more gravel to deliver for the parking area.  Some sturdying needs to be done for the roof for the entrance.  The siding and rock needs to be done yet but only the siding will be done this year.  Rock will be done next spring. 

Demolition of the old community hall.  The notice will be put in the paper.  Bids will be taken until the end of November.  A decision will hopefully be made at the December meeting.
 
New Business – Nothing at this time.
 
Chairman Nevalainen moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:15 pm, seconded by Supervisor Stegmeir, motion carried.
