Old Business: Pam talked to Marty Finch and Dan Watt and the consensus of the auditors is that it is best to use the CPA for the annual audit.
Nothing new on memorial for Dusty, we’re still waiting on proposals from companies.
A proposal was made for a sponsorship plaque that would cover the cost of the benches and picnic tables for the walking trail if people are interested in donating. It would be a 15 X 17 ½ “ plaque with plates that can be added for anyone who wants to add a memorial or an honorarium or name to the plaque. If 18 (at $250 donation apiece) plates were added, it would cover the cost of the benches/tables. Marissa will post to see if there is any interest.
Motion by Sanders to purchase plaque and make enclosure to display it. Seconded by Bartolotto, all agreed.
New Business: With Dusty’s passing, there is now an opening on the Zoning Hearing Board that will need to be filled. Patrick stated that Steve Buchanan is speaking with a couple of people about it.
Kenny Leasure is looking into building a house on part of his property but would need to run a line across the township right of way on Pie Ridge Rd. in order to get power to the site.

Motion by Dietrich to allow line to be placed with the property owner signing an agreement with the township. Seconded by Sanders, all agreed.
Motion by Sanders to review and pay bills. Seconded by Bartolotto. All agreed. Meeting adjourned 6:37
