1. Public Hearing on the Budget for the General Fund for fiscal 2000-2001 and an amendment to the 1999-2000 budget.
A Call to the Public was made with no response.
Moved by Robertson, supported by Mortensen, to amend the General Fund Budget for fiscal year 1999-2000 as submitted. The motion carried unanimously.
Moved by McCririe, supported by Robertson, to approve the General Fund Budget for fiscal year 2000-2001 as presented. The motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Mortensen, supported by Ledford, to approve salary increases of $1,500.00 for the supervisor and $2,000.00 for the treasurer and clerk. The motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Skolarus, supported by Robertson, to delete the request for authorization of the board to purchase property. The motion carried unanimously.
2. Discussion of a letter requesting the extension of sanitary sewer service along Nixon Road to Crooked Lake Road, as requested in a letter from Michael Boss representing Howell Public Schools, Howell Church of the Nazarene, Mr. Rudy Hauss and Mr. Charles Latson.
Reference is made to the Boss Engineering letter dated 06-12-00. Murray - The districts were established and approved by this board several years ago. Should sewers be extended into this area we will end up with 18,000 sq. ft. lots that would place an additional burden on our roads and schools. The Master Plan reflects 2.5 acres parcels for this area.
Boss - The schools did solicit outside engineering estimates and they were considerably less than what the Township engineers projected. Sewers in this area would be much more environmentally effective. Hunt - The schools knew that sewers were not projected for this area when the land was purchased. At present the plant would not have enough capacity for this proposal. McCririe - During the public hearings for future land use, our residents asked to retain the rural character of the township and preserve the open spaces for this area of the township.
Boss - Is it wrong for us to be asking by petition for sewers to be brought to this property. The public should be heard before a conclusion is drawn here this evening. Murray - It is a policy decision of this board to expand the sewer districts within the township. You may formally petition for a sewer extension to this property.
