Tom Johnson gave a zoning report. He mentioned that we
need to address the property at 4711 Maple Ave in Crystal Rock. This is an
abandoned house and also tall grass.
The proposed new zoning book was discussed briefly. The
zoning board is holding a public hearing on the book on June 8, 2009.
The trustees said that certified letters will be going out
soon for tall grass issues in the township.
Chief Keimer gave his report. He mentioned again the
person he has that would like to join our paid on call firefighters, but
does not live in our radius at this time. Tom asked about giving a l year
time period in order for her to move into the radius. We had done this
before for a full time firefighter position.
The trustees said that we could handle this by giving her
l year to relocate into our radius. Chief Keimer agreed with this.
Mr. Pooch moved, seconded by Mr. Bias to approve the
vacation request of Keith Killingsworth for June 27, June 29 and July 1,
2009 and for Dan Minor for June 7, 2009. Vote: all ayes.
Our health insurance renewal was discussed. Our increase
started at around 10%. Kevin Lindsley said Medical Mutual agreed to reduce
that increase to 6.77%. Medical Mutual said we had over a 100% loss. After a
brief discussion the trustees decided that they felt the increase was
reasonable and that we should let Medical Mutual know that we will be
staying with them with the plan we now have.
Trustees mentioned that the sorority would like to plant a
tree at the Veterans Memorial. The trustees have no problem with this.
Recycle day for the township will be on June 6th,
2009.
