May Regular Meeting
another doosey of a meeting...
we almost needed our sleeping bags, as we didn't adjourn until after 10:30pm...
but we got a lot accomplished...
skinny version:
passed a Cemetery Ordinance for Lakeview Cemetery (we have existed without one);
new well approved for Lakeview Cemetery, work to commence soon;
preliminary construction drawings approved to be obtained by Nordlund to include one basic “L” shaped plan, with an option to have either a concrete slab, or a crawl space
(since there has been no opposition to an addition to the existing township hall, the board is under the impression that the public approves this possible renovation)...
and if you have the time, here are the extended minutes:
