The first order of business was opening bids for the proposed cinder building. One bid was received, from Jennings Construction for $81,000.
The building was proposed because the present cinder building has proven inadequate for the township's needs, as it is too small to house the cinder pile. Because of this the pile freezes, making extra work to thaw the cinders so they are suitable for spreading in the winter. For the last several months, as the building has been under consideration, several township residents have questioned the need for the building, noting that the township already has a cinder building, and that the money to be spent on the building would better be used to improve the roads.
