Approval of Minutes
Motion by Pardue to approve the minutes from the Reorganization Meeting and General Meeting on 1/2/2007 and the Work Session on 2/7/2007 as presented, 2nd by Martenson. Motion voted, all in favor.
Announcements
Township office will be closed at noon Friday and reopen Tuesday morning.
New Business
- Carl Holweg - Mr. Holweg came before the Supervisors to get their ideas of what they wanted as far as smoke alarms and security. Supervisors stated that nothing here
dictates needing a key pad. The building has no smoke alarms or emergency lighting so the Supervisors want hard wired smoke alarms and emergency lights with battery back-up and motion detectors
in Reese’s and Miller’s offices. A company will need to be hired to monitor the system. Holweg suggested that we get a panel in case something is added in the future, Supervisors agreed.
Correspondence
Correspondence is available with the Secretary’s office during regular business hours for review.
