Meredith Beck stated after
talking to Bob Schroeder wondered if the other Trustees were interested
in a prairie planting on the corner of Cemetery and Northeast Catawba
Roads. If interested volunteered to get more information on the project. |
|
|
|
Gary Mortus stated it has
been discussed about turning it into a more environmental area rather
than just mowing it. We did listen to a gentleman on doing this at one
of the County meetings. |
|
|
|
Meredith stated it was
probably John Bothman whom she knows and site preparation is a major
problem and takes about two years before anything can be done. There
are professional people who will give you information on this. |
|
|
|
Bob Schroeder stated it has
to be plowed up and someone could plant soy beans on it for next two
years. Meredith stated whe would like to see it done and would be
willing to get more information about it. Once it is established it
would have to be burned. |

have been thinking of incorporating some of that in the PUD. Mr. &

Department submitted a bid on the Fire House and was awarded it so would
like permission to have truck go and get it which was approved.
Vineyards bought the Hartshorne home and would like to use it as a place
for residents to play pool or other forms of recreation. |
|
|
|
Bob stated it would have to
be an accessory to the PUD and parcel would have to be rezoned to RE
first. Thinks there should be a sign stating handicapped parking is to
the west of the building. Handicapped tried to get up the ramp for
voting. Chris Redfern asked what could be done about the water
standing on road at corner of Roger and Balliette Drives. |
|
|
|

to put a French drain in like on corner of Appell and Balliette Drives. |
|
|
|

Community Hall should be closed for walking and thinks locks should be
changed . Following discussion locks were tabled. |
|
|

should be installed in the restrooms at Community Hall as lights are
left on many times and also a timer on the blower. When Dan gets
schedule for rentals will have to be checked next morning as to where
it should be set. |
|
|
|
Bill asked about the
roadways in the compost area and Gary stated stone will be put in and
also oiled. |

Township would be willing to pay for one more pull a week. |

make their own arrangements to get keys for election day and Dan does
not need to do it. Connie Focht asked about putting in their own

be installed tomorrow and was advised to send it back to the State. |
