Old Business:
Roads – The Township needs to find a contractor to plow Pucks Point Road as the county can’t plow it due to an obstruction in the turn around.
State Point road will need maintenance in the near future consisting of more fill to raise the road, better ditching and possible new culverts. This issue should be thought about when considering the Levy money for 2005.

Levy – The levy was discussed further at this meeting. Money is to be set aside for a preliminary study for a new town hall building. Supervisor Richard McGregor will contact the Lokey family regarding possible purchasing some property from them that would add to the property across from the existing community building. He will report at the next board meeting.

The levy amount of $91,200.00 will be proposed at the annual town meeting and voted on.
Ron Moyer has been appointed as the moderator for the annual town meeting.

New Business:
Treasurer Jean Reichow received a statement from the St. Louis County Auditor that says the Kabetogama Township has received more money than they should have and it needs to be paid back. Jean will send a payment in immediately.
