Old Business –
PPSSD – Supervisor L. Warrington reported that mowing at the treatment site had not been done in quite some time. He called the person who mows for Greg and told her to mow and weed whip. He also called G. House and told him it needed to be mowed. Greg claims that he was told that he was mowing too often. That was not true and Greg will be contacted regarding this matter. There was an emergency call at VPL that had to be attended to. It was found that the grinder was closed. This matter will be looked into. Pumping was done at the treatment site and there was an extremely large amount of grease in the system again. Grease should not be put into the system as this jeopardizes the whole system. The township is aware of the problem and will take steps to solve this problem.
Community Sewer Project – SEH is contracting out the work for the archeological survey that needs to be done. Supervisor L. Warrington moved to allow the clerk to open a checking account for the South Shore Sanitary Sewer District and a checking account for the State Point Sanitary Sewer District. The opening funds will transfer from the account ending in 5942 in the amount of the lowest possible amount to open the accounts, seconded by Vice-Chairman T. Tomczak, all voting aye motion carried. Supervisor L. Warrington moved to have John draft a letter to SLC regarding a service fee in 2025 to members of the South Shore Sanitary Sewer District and the members of the State Point Sanitary Sewer District to recoup the matching funds the township paid out before the grant money became available.
Roads – Nothing new
Community Center – The issue of the propane odor in the hall was again discussed. Some board members feel that this is a real problem and a possible liability. A new stove was discussed, electric or a better gas stove. It was also discussed if we could find someone or a company that could fix the problem with our current stove. Supervisor L. Warrington will speak with Kevin Bouma and see if he has any suggestions or ideas. Larry will report back at our next meeting. Supervisor L. Warrington asked that the brush be removed from around the septic tanks here at the Town Hall. Tim will take care of this.
Other – The board discussed what to do with the sand and sandbags we received from SLC. Tim was asked to move the sand to the back of the lot across from the Town Hall. We will keep the sandbags for future use. It is recommended that we have 4 rolls of visqueen on hand here at the Town Hall.
New Business – None
Supervisor L. Warrington made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Vice-Chairman T. Tomczak, all voting aye motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
