New Business:

Township Insurance Policy – The matter will be tabled to the July meeting.

Township Accounting Program – Clerk Mary Manninen reported that in the near future all townships will be required to file their end of the year accounting reports electronically.

The accounting program has been installed on the Clerk’s personal computer and is running properly. The clerk will look into further solutions for this situation.
