Supervisor McCririe called the regular meeting of the Genoa Charter Township Board to order at 6:30 p.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was then said. The following persons were present constituting a
quorum for the transaction of business: Gary McCririe, Paulette Skolarus, Robin Hunt, Todd Smith, Jean Ledford, Steve Wildman and Jim Mortensen. Also present were Township Manager Michael
Archinal and three persons in the audience.
A Call to the Public was made with the following response: Doreen Beatty - I would like to sell fireworks at 444 E. Grand River in Genoa Township and am asking this board for approval. McCririe -
Our Township Zoning Ordinance does not permit the seasonal sale of fireworks unless that merchandise is a product that is available within the existing business. Beatty asked if she could rent a
store for three or four months and would that sale be allowed. McCririe asked that she take that matter up with the Township Manager Michael Archinal during normal business hours.

5. Discussion regarding future use of Township Hall property.
It was the consensus of the board that a sledding hill would be constructed along the south side of the Township Hall property. The project would primarily include the moving of dirt and the
flattening of the area along the western boundary with a sidewalk access along Crooked Lake Road.
A negotiated contract with Waste Management was discussed. Waste Management has requested a three-year extension with a price freeze the first year and an allowance for diesel gasoline should it
increase above $6.00 per gallon.
The Blue Cross/Blue Shield Insurance for township employees will include a $2,500.00 individual deductible and a $5,000.00 family deductible with the township absorbing those costs and decreasing
the monthly expense for insurance.
