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 and Mortensen. Also present were Township Manager Michael Archinal, Township Attorney Rick Heikkinen and approximately 15 persons in the audience.
Moved by Mortensen, supported by Ledford, to approve the Agenda with the tabling of item 2 as requested by the petitioner.
A Call to the Public was made with no response.
1. Request for approval of a resolution concerning a request to extend a sewer district to property along Nixon Road to Crooked Lake Road as requested by petition.
Mike Boss of Boss Engineering and Edward Johnson, attorney, presented the request on behalf of the petitioners. There are three main parcels of land requesting the extension and the establishment of a special assessment district to pay for the improvements, filed under MCL 41.721. They include the property just purchased by the Church of the Nazarene on the NW corner of Crooked Lake Rd and Nixon (Tax #11-17-400-007), FTAG Investments, L.L.C. (Tax #11-17-200-002, 006, 013, 014, 015) and Al Halliday (Tax #11-16-100-005). Mr. Boss said that the petitioners were aware of the soil conditions and were requesting the extension because the soils are difficult. He further said that the petitioners would be able to develop their land even without the sewer extension and that the soils would support on-site septic disposal. He commented that if the Township agreed to extend the sewer it did not necessarily mean that the petitioners would ask for a rezoning in the future. Mr. Johnson made a brief presentation and Wayne Brown of the Church of the Nazarene also made a few brief comments asking for the extension.
Moved by Mortensen, supported by Ledford, to deny the petitioner's request for sewer since the land is not within the designated sewer area and the treatment plant does not have capacity to accommodate this expansion as well as the lack of infrastructure. The motion carried by roll call vote as follows: Ayes - Ledford, Hunt, Mortensen, Skolarus and McCririe. Nay - Smith. Absent - Robertson.
2. Request for approval of the impact assessment corresponding to site plan for a seven unit site condominium business park located on the north side of Grand River Ave. between Euler Road and Hacker, section 13, petitioned by Genoa One LLC, Inc., as recommended by the Planning Commission 11/27/00.
Tabled at the petitioner's request.
3. Request for approval of poverty guidelines for the Board of Review.
Moved by Ledford, supported by Mortensen, to approve the poverty guidelines as recommended by the Assessing Dept. establishing $9,588.00 as the minimum for 1 person over 65 years of age. The motion carried unanimously.
4. Discussion of a request from LSL for an increase in the fee schedule for professional services.
Moved by Skolarus, supported by Ledford, to approve the request from LSL for an increase in their hourly rates as determined by their letter dated 12-05-00. The motion carried unanimously.
5. Request for approval of a pay scale modification for VanTassell and Kolakowski.
Moved by Skolarus, supported by Ledford, to table the request until the next regular meeting of the board. The motion carried unanimously.
6. Discussion of a proposal for network assessment and planning as provided by Anacon.
Moved by Mortensen, supported by Smith, to approve the proposal at a cost not to exceed $3,000.00 and as recommended by the Administrative Committee. Further that the assessment will be completed no later than Jan. 31, 2001. The motion carried unanimously.
