Mr. Pooch moved, seconded by Mr. Riesterer to accept the financial reports submitted by the Fiscal Officer. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Brent Gardner from Gardner Insurance was at our meeting to review our township property and liability insurance. Each department needs to go over the list of its property to be sure we are up to date on the insurance.

Mr. Mike Karniotis from the Job Store was at our meeting to explain how they can help with several things including: unemployment, child support, doing resumes ( in cases of lay offs) and several ways they may be able to help the township.

Chief Keimer gave his Fire report. Tom said that we did not get our FEMA Grant and that we are in need of turn out gear. He said it could cost anywhere from $1500 -$1950 per set for the turn out gear and that we need up to 17 sets.

Chief Keimer mentioned that the City of Sandusky had a used server that we can have. Kevin Dwight is going to go look at it to see if it will work for us.

There was some discussion on the record retention. Chief Keimer mentioned that SS Industries offer a document scanning. They will put the information on CD”s for you. He was not sure of the cost.

Tom is in the process of getting quotes to go through Buckeye Cable for all our phones.

Trustee Tim Riesterer said we need to get our record retention policy set before we will be able to do anything, but that it wouldn’t hurt to check out the cost of scanning our items.

The properties in Crystal Rock have been demolished by Hula Construction.

The trustees discussed our salt bid. They thought we might like to split our bid between the state and the county for next years salt and see how the prices go.

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch to request 200T of road salt through the State Bid. Vote: all ayes.

The trustees said that we replaced 90ft of tile on Homegardner that broke when we tried to jet vac it.

The Riedy Ditch clean up should be starting anytime.

Our mail box policy was discussed and the following motion was made:

Mr. Pooch moved, seconded by Mr. Riesterer stating that the township will replace mailboxes, that we damage doing snow plowing, with a US Postal Service standard mail box or we will reimburse them up to $25, for a mailbox they replace themselves, after the submission of an original receipt for their purchase of a mailbox. Vote: all ayes.

Communications were gone over.

Mr. Pooch moved, seconded by Mr. Riesterer to adjourn. Vote: all ayes.
