Sentinel Readers:

There will be no 5/30/2021 weekly report. There is little to report.

I will go to a monthly report for the summer due to my personal schedule and only one  Board meeting per month.  This past week the only public body meeting was the 5/25 Board meeting. A brief synopsis is below. I’ll likely give more background on each of these items in the beginning of July Monthly Report after the draft minutes come out.

The Board:

• Approved road easement agreements needed for three parcels they just sold, 7/0
• Rejected proposed new Deputy Treasurer salary of $60,000, 2/5
• Approved 100 hours of casual maintenance work for Historic District Commission at $15/hr., 7/0
• Accepted a $50,000 grant from Wilson Foundation for Paint Creek Junction Park, 7/0
• Approved about $50,000 for new lockers for Sheriff Department Building, 7/0
• Approved $14,756 for 5 new sets of firefighter turn-out gear. 7/0
• Approved about $225,000 for 4.1 miles of limestone on Buell, Gunn and Silverbell, 7/0
• Increased Township Manager Adam Kline salary from $95,000 to $100,000, 7/0
• Discussed how to get the tax bills sent out. One Trustee volunteered to help if needed,
• Discussed wisdom of current placement of $10,000,000 uninsured in Flagstar Bank.
