signed. Bob Stalker will take these documents to the Township Board next week
for approval. We hope and expect approval. Much discussion ensued regarding our
attorney’s recommendations and concerns regarding contamination liability.
Discussed comfort letter, costs associated with this acquisition, zoning, etc.

idea is currently on hold.

the last zoning meeting. No one spoke in opposition to our zoning change.
Several supporters were present and spoke.

The storage shed has been added to provide more storage space. A new combination
lock was added. A member inquired about the second trap thrower. They would
either like the old one refurbished or a new one purchased for the second trap
station. Discussion regarding potential costs for repairing the old or buying
new. A new trap might allow doubles or “wobble”. We need someone to bring cost
estimates to the board for further discussion.
