Jack Foust Lyman Lane: I heard that the material coming out of the slag plant that you guys use on the road is condemned because it has asbestos in it. Peruso- Not that I know of. Heiple- do you have something in writing about this. Mr. Foust- I can get it for you. Heiple- Yes we need something in writing because it could be a rumor or it could be true and if it is true the Township will do what is right. Mr.Foust: Talking about Lyman Lane, I know that road was signed over to the Township years ago and you are saying it is not your road. Peruso- Best of my knowledge it is not a Township Road, I will check with the county to see if we took it over. Spanko-Russ if you do maintenance on a road that is not yours doesn’t it become the Townships? Heiple- If you do it continually then yes. Bob Ritchey- the State does not approve the slag from that plant for use on the dirt and gravel road program you can only use it in pipes.
Chris Selfridge- Status on the pipe? Spanko- it is on its way. Peruso- We need permission to go into the neighbor’s yard with the backhoe. Chris- I am sure he will give it to you. Also what about the ad for the Veterans Memorial? Spanko- We are good for right now. Chris- what about the stimulus money, the city got a pile of it. Woznak- I went to a seminar on it and for most things we do not qualify. There are a couple small things that the Fire Departments may be interested in, but not us. Chris: What about windmills, does the Township have any property that they may approach us and ask to put any up? Peruso- yes we have some property. Chris- well it is something to look into better to be proactive about these kinds of things.
Audrey Vojtowicz- did you know we have an outdoor furnace right here? Spanko-who? Audrey- Bill Corson. Vojtowicz- Never even knew it was there.
Vicki Svencer- Whatever you sprayed those cow weeds with down on East Jackson Street made them come up bigger than they were. My husband thinks you guys used miracle grow. Bob Ritchey- They are going to be approving 2 chemicals to use on those. 1 will not hurt the water and the other you can’t use around the water. Call the Conservation District and get the name. Spanko- do you need to be certified to use it? Bob Ritchey- No I don’t think so.

      REPORT OF THE CHAIRPERSON-Mary Woznak
         For the Refuse I have sent out 71 letters for past due Refuse bills and to date I have collected $3850.67. 428.80 of that were payments from the court. Some people have paid in full, some are on payment plans. I am still sending out letters. The ones who don’t respond are where the money is going to be because we have to send out certifies letters for a 10 day payment. Audrey- Do you think that is feasible? Woznak- We have to. Audrey- just post letters right on the property. That is what we do at the water authority and that makes people come in and pay.
Also congratulations to Art Thomson who was appointed to the Executive Committee for the  Sewage Enforcement Agency.      
 REPORT OF THE VICE-CHAIRMAN-Randy Vojtowicz
Nothing to report

       REPORT OF THE ROADMASTER-Joe Peruso
We might be losing an employee, so we will have to replace him and I am going to hire an old employee so I will not need to advertise.

Fine money for the month of April was $321.49
We are going to pick up the new cruiser next Wedsday so it will need to be lettered when we bring it back.
REPORT OF THE BUILDING SUPERVISOR-Bob Spanko
Nothing to report
Woznak- I would like to say awesome job on the office. It looks great.
Spanko- The lighting in the police station is terrible so I would like to purchase 5 new lights for them. Peruso- he doesn’t need a motion for that because it is under a certain amount. Vicki Svencer- no he doesn’t need a motion, he has it in the budget so he can spend it.
ENVIROMENTAL REPORT-Bob Ritchey
If you haven’t gotten around to requesting the dry hydrant you might want to call them because they may recall them. They are not hard to out in. A good place for one would be Front Street in Mineral Point. So give Ron Piper a call at the Conservation District. The kits come with everything you need.
I received an email from DEP they are proposing to revise the storm water MS4 permit. So we may need to update ours. They are having a meeting on this; I will email the information to Shannan. But I don’t think it is going to have a big impact on us.
