Mr. Ray Schueger from Wilson Ave presented a petition signed by residents. There were also several other residents from the area in attendance. Their complaint is the noise at the Tiki Bar off Wahl Rd. He said there have been several call made to the sheriff about this. They said the sheriff told them to contact the trustees.

Everyone agreed that these events are for a good cause. They raise money for charities. The residents in attendance agreed that it was a good cause, they also said if it would have only been for a few weekends it wouldn’t have been that bad. The bands etc are to stop at 9 p.m. The trustees said they would see what they can do. Mr. Pooch said he would also talk to Mr. Minier about the situation.

Mr. Ron Morgan from 1208 Wilson had concerns with properties on Harding and Wilson. He had pictures that he gave to the trustee with zoning and health issues. The trustees and Tom Johnson looked over the pictures. The health department needs to be contacted on several issues. The trustees feel that Chief Keimer, Tom Johnson and the health department need to go check out the issues.

Tom Johnson said that Erie Blacktop had gotten a zoning permit for a 72000 sq ft building. Trustees question the water run off for a building that size.

Jim Neill gave his road report. He said we still don’t have any money from the Fish Hatchery. He also mentioned that there was an additional 100 ft of concrete culvert pipe from the project on Maple Ave. They want to know if we would like to purchase this. Jim also had a complaint about the camper that is parked on the dead end street on Rockwood.

Jim has the next application for an Issue II project. We may want to go with Phase IV of Homegardner Road. This would cost us around $110,000 to $115,000.

The trustees see no problem with the camper that is parked on the dead end street (a township street). We have let them do this for years.
