-Old cemetery has a lot of holes and ruts. Boys scouts and local Democrats to help with labor to fix the landscaping. DesJarden’s is going to donate top soil and Robere Farms is going to donate sand. Bill Anderson had asked if the Township would approve putting a sign up at the cemetery to recognize everyone that is going to help with the project.  Motion C. Watchorn Support B. Landis AIF M/C

 

FD/EMS

-F.D. – assisted with two accidents on US2. Water is back on at the Fire Hall. One issue discussed. Apparently the issue was with the septic during the winter.
