            I talked with Annett and the County will be cutting the Act 13 money for us that goes towards the bridge.

            All the files have been turned over to the auditors, they will let us know when it is done.

ROADMASTER REPORT:

            The bridge is scheduled for the first week of June, Jerry Run Road will be closed so the only way to access the camps on other side of the bridge will be coming from the top via Three Run Road.

            The black top on the old bridge is going to be cut in the next week or so.

             Appoint Phil Brown Grove Township’s code enforcer, at a rate of $150.00 per time he is called to handle a situation, and if it must go to court that will be an additional $150.00.

            All present were in favor and the motion passed.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

            Dave Fees explained the Cruise In is on July 15th at the Willows, and he would like to use the lot across from the playground for parking.  All the supervisors agreed to this with only one stipulation that they only park in the empty lot and leave access to the creek for emergency vehicles.   No parking in the park or along the side of the fence.

            Jim Howard asked what happens if you missed the large item clean up and have some stuff that you have saved for that day.  The answer was wait until the next one, or if the items are not large then they can be put in the dumpster.

            Dale Wood would like to get with Melvin Kehl on Crestline where the plow drops and there is a treetop in the outlet.

            It was asked why there was no names on the Grove Township ballot for the open supervisor’s position, it was explained nobody got the petition to run so if anyone is interested, they will have to have a write in campaign that day.
