Everything looks in order so O’Donnell made a motion to approve the certified survey map. Motion was seconded by Moody and motion carried. Clerk received a fire call report on a two-car accident. Clerk will have to try and determine who was ticketed. If no one was at fault, the Board requests the Clerk to bill each party $250.00 but if a citation was issued, then the Board would like the Clerk to bill that party the full $500.00. Lynn Hill Road Loan: The bank balance that the Town carries is quite high. It is everyone’s consensus that we should be fine if we apply $103,000.00 to the loan. That would bring the balance down to around $100,000.00. Schmidt made a motion to apply $103,000.00 to the Lynn Hill Road loan and have it applied completely to the principle. O’Donnell seconded said motion and the motion carried. Solarus Utility Permit: Solarus is putting their utilities underground throughout the entire Township.

Moody made a motion to allow Al Goodness (Road Superintendent) the authority to request up to ten loads of road base from the County, but the total cost is not to exceed $4,000.00. O’Donnell seconded this motion and the motion carried. Old Business: The Board’s most recent meeting with Dan Kellnhofer was productive.
