Board Members Excused:  None

Others in Attendance:  Nick Achtermeier Jr., Travis Marti, Bill Winch, Ralph Hamel, and Chase Brockman

Call to Order:  Chairman, Paul Goldberg, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.

Harter’s Expert Disposal:  Nick Achtermeier Jr. from Harter’s Expert Disposal attended the meeting.  He would like the township to remind the residents to bag their garbage before putting it in the cart.  They have noticed that people are not doing that and it causes a mess when the garbage is dumped.  They are currently reviewing the route so they can get us a quote for next year.  If we need to add a customer we just need to call them and they will deliver a cart to the new customer.  There is no charge to the town for the garbage cart.

Expenditures and Treasurer Reports:  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to approve the expenditures and Treasurer reports.  Motion carried. 

Correspondence:  We received contact info and pricing from Wood County Emergency Management.  Diane received an email from consumer notice about pollution and adding it to our website.  The board does not want to add any other outside parties to their website at this time.  There was a culvert permit for Enbridge Energy and a building permit for Rick VanErt.  John from Enbridge called to let us know they are digging some test pits on their site to make sure that there is no leaking around the valves.  The board received a letter and petition from a resident about dog barking.  The board doesn’t really have much recourse as there are no ordinances in place or zoning.  A couple members of the board went to talk to the owner and provided a tarp to put around the pens to hopefully help with the persistent barking.  The Bluff to Bluff bicycle race will be coming through our township on August 6th.  A resident contacted Paul about broken drain tiling on his property.  Enbridge is going to fix the broken tiling because it is there to help with the water around the pipeline.

Road and Maintenance Concerns:  Bruce Zimmerman called because Apple Road is very dusty.  The county was contacted to spray the road to help with dust control.

Road Bids:  Only received road bids from Scott Construction.  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to accept the road bids.  Motion carried.

Copier Maintenance Agreement:  Table until next month as no agreement was sent yet.

ARPA Grant Allocation:  There was discussion on where to put the ARPA money since it was all allocated to fire protection.  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to put the money into the CD when it comes due.  Motion carried.

Pay current bills:  A motion was made by Dan, seconded by Wayne, to pay the current bills.  Motion carried. 

Old Business:  Village of Vesper Well Head Protection will be tabled until next month since none of the residents that are affected were at the meeting.  Diane received the grant money for the voting machine, but according to the County Clerk, we need to return the money because it was outside of the time frame that the grant is for.  Diane has reached out to WEC and has not heard anything back yet.
