Keith Kreager from Crystal Rock and our rural water representative mentioned that it was presented at the Rural Water meeting to increase the water tap in fee from $2000 to $2250. The motion for the increase was defeated.

Keith said that he had not gotten any estimates for drainage projects in Crystal Rock that could possibly be presented for grant money. He said he contacted 2 people and only one came out. Keith felt it was going to be too much red tape in order to get the estimates. Mr. Bias said that we need the estimates in order to possibly get a grant. The trustees said the paperwork needs to be in by the end of August. Keith said he would get some figures on the project so that we can submit the paperwork for the grant.

Mr. Kreager mentioned that Crystal Rock will be holding a community garage sale September 8-10, 2006.

Keith mentioned that water problem on the corner of Wahl Rd and Crystal Rock Rd. again.

Mr. Kreager also mentioned the Lake Front Group filing a class action suit trying to stop the State of Ohio saying that the high water land is public land. They feel this is not right and that it should be that the low water mark is owned by the public.

The trustees said our seal coat bid came in at 80/cents a sq yd, this will put our current project at around $21,000.00. Mr. Riesterer also mentioned that according to the bonding company, last years project (Heywood Rd) may be redone due to not being done properly.

It was brought up that Bill Felske, who recently died, had been a past Fire Chief for Margaretta Township. The trustees will send a memorial.

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch to go into executive session, with the trustees and fiscal officer to discuss personnel issue. Roll call vote: Mr. Riesterer – yes, Mr. Pooch – yes and Mr. Bias – yes.
