The Township accepted Schoonover’s bids of $47,950 for electrical work, $59,500 for HVAC, and $46,600 for plumbing. The steel building had been purchased for $282,567.

Supervisors have not received any further information or final determinations from Adjuster’s International regarding their insurance settlement. The adjuster assigned to the case has been on vacation and took paternity leave in recent months.
The Posting Meeting Agendas Act 65 of 2021 takes affect at the end of the month. The Township will be required to post monthly meeting agendas 24 hours before the meetings take place. To facilitate this, Secretary Elnor Blaney was authorized to purchase a metal locked shatterproof display case that will display meeting agendas at the township office.
