meeting to go over our health insurance renewal. Mr. Lindsley showed the
Trustees what our savings have been for the last 3 years (the time we have
had an HRA). Kevin said that our renewal with MMO is at an 11.24% increase.

look at it. They lowered it to the 11.24%. He received several quotes from
different companies and they were all higher than MMO.

He mentioned that the City of Huron wants their money for this year’s
contract. The Trustees asked if we had been billed. Tom said he had the bill
and would submit it for payment. Tom gave an update on the properties in
Crystal Rock. The Hensley’s have received their notifications, but he has
not been able to get a hold of Mr. Scheufler. A letter went to Mr. Ring for
junk. Letters that were sent to Maple Ave came back.
Mr. Tom Johnson gave a zoning
report. He mentioned that the Kromer issues on Bogart Road are being worked
on, but that he has had no response from the Cody property. He will
therefore be sending a citation. Tom also mentioned that he is working on
some other properties.
