Mr. Pooch moved, seconded by Mr. Bias to accept the Financial Report submitted by the Fiscal Officer. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Bias moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch to approve and sign warrants 7556-7590, that were presented by the Fiscal Officer for payment. Vote: all ayes.

Dennis Murray, candidate for State Representative, was at the meeting to introduce himself.

Kathy Biecheler and Deb Christiansen, dispatchers for the township, were at the meeting to present a calendar and a proposal on having the full time dispatchers go to a 12 hr shift. Kathy explained to the trustees how it would work. The trustees said they would need to talk to Chief Keimer and be sure everyone was ok with this. If everyone is ok with it the trustees said they would be willing to give it a try.

Jason Lehrer from the Park Board came to recommend contracting with Scott and Vicki Dickman for managing the concession stand this year.

Mr. Bias moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch, to contract with Scott and Vicki Dickman to manage the concession stand from 4/17/2008 – 11/1/2008. Vote: all ayes.

A copy of the contract and also a list of items to be done were given to the Dickman’s.

There was some discussion on our workers comp and it was decided to have Andy Frank of Frank Gates come to our May 1 meeting, if possible. Fiscal Officer, Mary Ann Lindsley will get in contact with him.

Mary Ann mentioned that she had information from the audit if the trustees wanted to look over anything. The auditor will be in contact with us to hold a post audit conference when everything has been finalized.

Mr. Pooch moved, seconded by Mr. Bias to approve the vacation request for Dan Minor for 5/12, 5/14 & 5/16/2008. Vote: all ayes.

Jim Neill gave his report. There was some discussion the new roofs we would like to do. This was tabled until we can contact the auditor to see if the project would need to be bid. We are not sure since we are doing roofs at different buildings, if these would be considered one project or each building its own project.

The recycle day was changed from June 7 to May 31, 2008, due to the high school graduation being on June 7.

Mr. Pooch moved, second by Mr. Bias to hire summer help Dawson Taylor at a rate of $7.25/hr and David Siesel at a rate of $7.00/hr. effective April 21, 2008 or when Jim needs them to start. Vote: all ayes.

Keith Kreager from Crystal Rock told the trustees that the residents were planning on calling the sheriff every time the 4 wheelers and other vehicles go through private property. He said they just wanted us to know their plan. He said this has been an ongoing problem in Crystal Rock.

We haven’t heard anything since the ditch walk through earlier this month.

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

The meeting adjourned at 9:43 p.m.
