Unfinished Business:

 

Trash Dumpster Relocation::  Joe Langdon  indicated that Tuesday at the Grant Township Meeting

this was discussed, but that no land could be found to rent/lease/buy at this time. Nothing can be done with moving the dumpster at this time.  Maybe another option would be home pick up, like Mohawk has.  The board is willing to research this option.  Chemical can also be put in the dumpster to stop some of the odor.

 

Home delivery of mail:  Dante Iacovoni who leads this project was not present at the meeting.  Rheta said they had tried to speak to the person at the Calumet Post Office but he/she was not available.  Rheta said, she would try again to contact someone.

 

New Business:

Tom said they would set up a meeting and get started on the Summer Fest planning.

 

 

Donations:

Rheta read a letter from David Menominee regarding the 3rd annual Take a Kid Fishing on Lac LaBelle August 11, 2007. This is a fun day for kids to come out and fish.  People from around the area donate their time and boats to come and take a kid fishing.  The 1st year 42 children were involved.  All the kids got prizes and some won fishing poles.  Last year 59 kids came and 48 kids won fishing poles.  Dave would like to raise enough money to send every kid home with a pole

 

Motion by Ed Jenison to donate up to $500.00 for this event as long as any money left over was used for the next year.  Second by Wendell Carlson.  All were in favor except one member.  Motion carried.

 

 

Community Building:

The township has allocated $5,000 in 2007 for this project.  Joe Langdon asked how many people would use this building and what would we use it for.  Discussion was made regarding uses and a committee was formed to look into this. Wendell Carlson, Rheta Wolfe and Gale Slates would form a committee to check into this further.  Joe said that the fireman would start on sealing off the window so none of the fireman’s equipment would be accessible.  Locks and keys would be discussed further.
