Minutes:
A regular meeting of the Genoa Township Board was called to order by Supervisor McCririe at 7:00 p.m. at the Genoa Township Hall. The Pledge of Allegiance was then said. The following board members were present constituting a quorum for the transaction of business: McCririe, Skolarus, Hunt, Ledford, Smith Combs and Mortensen. Also present were Township Manager Michael Archinal and two persons in the audience.
A Call to the Public was made with the following response: Pat Monet - I live on Glen Echo and am included in the Grand River water district. The people behind me are not in the district and they will benefit from the use of the fire hydrant. They should be assessed too. McCririe - We could not deny anyone within reach of a fire hydrant from using that water. Monet - Will I need to tie into that water? Archinal - At no time will you be required to hook up to the water.
1. Discussion of the Road projects for fiscal 2001-2002.
Archinal - This board had considered spending about $40,000.00 to improve Cunningham Lake Road. The negotiation with the road commission has not worked out and I am asking that we instead apply those funds to Crooked Lake Road. It was the consensus of the board to bring a contract for this project to the budget meeting next month.
