REGULAR MEETING

MINUTES
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, Todd Smith, Jean Ledford, Steve Wildman and Jim Mortensen. Also present were Township Manager Michael Archinal and five persons in the audience.
A Call to the Public was made with the following response: Chad Cooper (representing SELCRA) - A letter was mailed to the township asking for confirmation and continued support of the recreation authority. Residents of GenoaTownship will now have to pay the higher tier when registering for any program if Genoa does not support the authority. McCririe - The township board has asked that SELCRA and Howell Parks and Recreation work together as a cost-saving effort to provide recreational programs for all members. SELCRA has failed to take that first step. There is no question that Genoa Township has put considerable effort into providing recreation for all of our residents. We are not opposed to continued financial support of the authority. Smith - We asked that you not hire a director. Instead SELCRA went into a closed session and made that decision 24 hours after our request was made to your authority. Our representative was excluded from that decision making meeting. Cooper - There must have been some mis-communication. We see a benefit to having a director. Smith - There was no mis-communication. That was your choice. Cooper - The Township must give 12 months notice to withdraw your monetary support under our agreement with Genoa. McCririe - I do not believe that we have an agreement with SELCRA. We are a contributing member and that is all.
