Minutes of the planning commission will be on the township web site also. The Planning Commission will be discussing the possibility of needing to replace one of its board members at the next planning commission meeting.
Roads – State Point road may need some work in the near future. Water is coming up which may cause some problems. The board requested that the dips in the roads from frost have flags placed by them to make motorist aware of the hazard.
Community Building Committee – there is an ongoing process of trying to obtain funds and grants to help with the project.
North American Wetland Engineering Invoice – Chairman Robert Nevalainen spoke with this firm regarding a bill that was submitted for payment. They made a decision to re-invoice at a lesser amount and then send a final bill when work is complete
New Business:
Lighting at Fish – Lee Herseth gave more information regarding costs of lighting the corner where the fish is. The board tabled this to the next meeting for further consideration.
Skating Rink – there was a suggestion that gravel be added to the skating rink at a later date. No action was taken at this time.
A bill was received from the office of Couri, MacArthur and Ruppe Attorneys.

Clerk Mary Manninen will draft a letter to this firm regarding this matter and will report back at our next meeting.
