Old Business:

Marlene Tomczak has been heading up the Kabetogama Lake entrance beautification project. Right now there is a need for monies to help pay for an Architectural fee to provide a construction package for the project, ($3,000.00). The Kabetogama Township would like to help out with the project and give $1,000.00.
Supervisor Edward Town made a motion to provide $1,000.00 toward the fee. Supervisor Richard McGregor seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Ron Moyer, from the Kabetogama Fire Department, gave a very detailed report on the additional building the department would like to build. This report covered the bid packages and specifications for a heated or non-heated metal building. After further research into building this addition, the department determined that the cost was more than they had previously thought. They would like to extend the extra line item on their budget for an extra two years. Please refer to the 2003 annual meeting minutes for a copy of the approved budget that shows the extra line item for the fire department building.
Supervisor Edward Town made a motion to add two more years to the extra line item of $10,000.00 per year for the Fire Department budget. Seconded by Supervisor Richard McGregor. Motion carried. The township also recommends that the Fire Department construct the heated building not the non-heated building.

Waste Water Treatment – Chairman Jack McMahon gave a report from this committee. Bridget Chard is working well with the group. Her recommendation is to educate the public and slow the process down as to make better judgments.
