New Business –  Seth Nelson with Voyageurs National Park was in attendance to speak about the ice road.  He has brought an idea to the Leadership Team of the Park to push the ice road and connect the two spurs on the north side of Kabetogama Lake.  This could be a three to five mile loop.  Seth would like input and ideas from the community on this matter.  The Park would like to have a meeting with the public to discuss this matter and the idea of removing the trash canisters from the landing.  The board suggested that a separate meeting take place in March rather than hold this at a township meeting.  A date and time will be released at a later date.
