OLD BUSINESS

• Hannula Insurance lunch meeting with John Clarkson. A review of the current township insurance policy was reviewed and changed where applicable. Also discussed were some issues regarding the township snowmobile and compactor.

Volunteers cannot be used for purposes of operating the landfill compactor, has to be someone who is on the payroll.

• Eagle Harbor Community Building 'Use' Guidelines: Board has reviewed another draft of the proposed document to be used when applicants apply to use the building. Would like to have a 'Hold Harmless Clause' added. Would also like a 'leasee' signature line. Motion to accept these guidelines with the above requirements, Clarkson, supported by Van Pelt, vote unanimous. Boggio asked Nancy Clarkson to stock the facility with necessary cleaning supplies.

• Youth Academy: Joyce Christenson is the representative of Eagle Harbor to attend meetings at the academy when necessary. She toured the facility and reported to the board that she was quite impressed with their structure and operation.

• Property Boundary Discrepancies re: John Weiss letter dated 12-13-96: Attorney has

advised that the board doesn't have to get involved . If, Crampton Surveying Inc., can get

the involved property owners together on this issue, the township will take action at that time.

NEW BUSINESS

• Township Board Salaries: Boggio proposed an increase adjustment be made to the board

member's salaries. He did a comparison of SEV factors of neighboring townships to the

salaries that other officials are receiving. ( See attached) He has proposed an increase be

made of $100/mo (a change from the current salary of $350/mo) for the three officials and an

increase to $90/meeting for the trustees. A proposal, off the floor, was suggested of

$500.00/mo salary for the Supervisor, Treasurer, & Clerk. The last time there was an

increase was 1993 when an increase was made to the trustees. No further action was taken.

• 1997-1998 Fiscal Year Township Budget: A proposed budget was presented. Board reviewed it and set a 'Special Meeting' of 2-14-97 at 9:30 am to make necessary adjustments and acceptance.

• Assessor Software Package: Bob Taylor has requested the township be set up on the computor re: assessments. Allouez and Hancock have this program currently.
