Comments from the Audience: S. Paltelky made a comment regarding the new cemetery drive. She clarified that the property where the drive is placed currently belongs to the PIHA, so any comments/complaints should be directed to them; not to the township. She also added that if someone does not have a plot within the cemetery, they have no right to complain since it doesn't have any affect on them. S. Paltelky also asked K. Fournier if she had hired a deputy clerk yet. K. Fournier responded that she had, S. Paltelky asked if she was related. K. Fournier replied yes, and stated that she was her daughter. S. Paltelky questioned whether that was even allowed, and added that she did not agree with the situation. K. Fournier assured her that it was legal and had been confirmed as such by MTA. P. Pokorski supported her statement.

REPORT OF OFFICES

Treasurer: B. Tadajewski presented the treasurer's report and asked for any questions and/or comments. None were submitted. K. Fournier made a motion to accept the treasurer's report as presented, subject to audit. L. Morrison seconded. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried. B. Tadajewski stated the tax bills have not yet been printed.

Clerk: K. Fournier presented the Bills & Claims report in the amounts of $15,292.63 in expenditures for Accounts Payable and $7,563.31 for Payroll for a total of $22,855.94 to be paid out of the General Fund, $2,224.05 from Enterprise, and $6,775.00 from Capital Projects. She had additional items of $1,079 for the insurance policy for the fireworks if the fireworks shoot is approved, $26.88 for toner for the office staff printer, and $43.96 for paper for the office. There was discussion regarding the fireworks, and prior to approving the insurance, they needed to approve the purchase of the actual fireworks. No invoice or order had been presented to the Board for review, so they were unable to approve a figure. Members designated L. Morrison to be responsible for obtaining an order/invoice, as well as verification as to who would be responsible for storing them and where. Once that information has been received by the Board, they can review the information, approve the funds, and then approve the funds for the insurance. L. Morrison made a motion to approve the Bills and Claims report as presented with the above stated additions not to include the insurance for the fireworks. C. Paavola seconded. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried.

PUBLIC HEARING - At this time, the regular meeting was closed, and the public hearing for the East Grand Lake Volunteer Fire Department budget was opened at 7:15.

East Grand Lake Volunteer Fire Department Budget: Ron Fournier presented the budget for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. It was identical to last year's budget. B. Tadajewski asked whether or not the Township would be able to get a year end statement just to see where they end up each year. R. Fournier stated that they get one from their accountant anyways, so he didn't see a problem with giving a copy to the Township.

The public hearing was closed at 7:18 p.m.

C. Paavola asked if they had been successful in selling their old rescue rig, and R. Fournier responded that they had. He also informed of a fundraiser pancake breakfast is scheduled for June 26th at the Township Hall. He reported that the last one was pretty successful.

REPORTS cont'd...

Planning Commission: K. Fournier presented a recommendation for the approval of the request to rezone properties along Evergreen Hwy from EC and R-1 to R-2. K. Fournier made a motion to approve the request for the rezoning as published. C. Paavola seconded. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried. There were two CIP Budget requests submitted. One was from Parks and Recreation requesting $3,000 for gravel and stump removal along the Old Lighthouse entrance road. The Commission made a recommendation to remove only the stumps within the right-of-way (5' on either side), and to only widen the road by 2 ½'. The second request was from K. Fournier for the Planning Commission. The total amount requested was $2,850 for the installation and construction of a toilet at the Range Light Park. The amount includes the porta-potty, installation of a driveway, as well as the construction of a wooden surround and concrete slab. The Planning Commission approved the request contingent upon the submission of an accepted site plan. The cost to service the unit would be $85.00 per month or $255.00 per year. K. Fournier added that she will be taking L. Morrison and C. Taylor out to the site to discuss the location to ensure that it will not interfere with future developments for the park. L. Morrison made a motion to accept the bids from Halls Serve-All, Losinski Excavating, and Hap Co. Builders for the construction and installation of a toilet at the Range Light Park contingent upon the Planning Commission approving a site plan. Seconded by C. Paavola. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried.

PUBLIC HEARING - At this time, the regular meeting was closed and the public hearing for the Presque Isle Fire Department budget was opened at 7:30.

Presque Isle Fire Department Budget: Kevin Salesman presented the budget for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. He stated that this year's budget is the same as last, and reported that they do not have any money going towards the contingency fund because they are trying to get money to replace equipment instead. Due to a statement written at the bottom of the letter stating "we reserve the right to request an increase when deemed necessary", B. Tadajewski clarified that they are already maxed out at 2.5 mils; anything additional requested would have to be voted on and passed at an election. The clarification was accepted and understood by Mr. Salesman. The board requested year end statements from this department as well for the Township to have on file. Mr. Salesman agreed.

The public hearing was closed at 7:35 p.m.

REPORTS cont'd...

Planning Commission cont'd: L. Morrison asked to further discuss the recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding the P & R Capital Budget Request. He provided further detail and explanation in regards to the P & R plans for stump removal. He stated that it wasn't going to be too much over 5' anyways, but would look a lot better with ALL of the stumps removed rather than just some of them. P. Pokorski was confused as to why no representative from the Parks and Recreation committee was in attendance at the Planning Commission meeting to address some of the concerns being presented since that was the agreed arrangement when the committee was established. Following further discussion and clarification which included the possibility of a lower cost if stumps could be hauled to the county's site (which they were pretty sure they could be), L. Morrison made a motion to accept the bid from Ron's Excavating for $3,000 as submitted, and for the work to be completed as originally proposed by Parks and Rec. C. Paavola seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. B. Tadajewski, nay, L. Morrison, aye, C. Paavola, aye, K. Fournier, nay, and P. Pokorski, aye. Due to majority vote, motion carried.K. Fournier continued on with the report by listing the remaining "accomplishments" as: the CIP list has been updated and now only shows 2010-2011 projects, and monthly reports of the status of each project will be given at each meeting. The map files have been converted to AutoCAD, and D. Lange will be working with L. Taylor to get the maps updated accordingly. "Future actions" were: continued work on the draft vision statement, and D. Lange and C. Taylor are going to begin work on the 5-year update for the Comprehensive Plan. "Concerns" were listed as: lack of representation from Parks and Recreation, and also the need for representation for the CIP updates. Also mentioned was the possibility of not having a 4th of July fireworks display. Members were informed by W. Schwartz that Long Lake will be having a display this year and is contracted with Wolverine.

K. Fournier asked if a budget had been submitted by the ZBA. P.Pokorski reported that the budget from the ZBA is exactly the same as last year. K. Fournier reminded that they need to have one presented regardless. K. Fournier also asked if P. Pokorski had a salaries and wages report. P. Pokorski stated that there will be no change to salaries and wages. It was agreed upon by the Board that there would be no increase to salaries and wages as long as revenue sharing is decreasing. K. Fournier reminded that there still has to be a report presented for review, and it also needs to be included in the resolution. L. Taylor, although absent from the meeting, had submitted a letter to the Township Board asking them to consider increasing the amount for legal fees in the zoning budget since the amount currently budgeted, $2,800, wouldn't even cover the cost of one case. She did not provide a suggested dollar amount. C. Paavola asked why there was an increase in the Clerk's wages, and K. Fournier responded that it was needed to cover the wages of a deputy. B. Tadajewski added that hers had increased for the same reason. Last year, she had forgotten to add the additional amount for her deputy. K. Fournier also explained the increase in elections. Additional items were discussed. It was decided that due to inadequate review time, and the need for additional figures, that the Board would have to schedule a special meeting to approve the budget.

K. Pettalia asked where the Township ended up last year in regards to finances, and whether or not a year- end statement was available. K. Fournier explained that the fiscal year ends on June 30th, so those figures aren't available yet, however, the Standard Budget Report is available at any time. Due to the length of it, it is not printed for every meeting, however, it is available at the hall or upon request. She agreed to provide a copy to her following the meeting. She explained that everything except for utilities has been paid for the year so the figures on the report should be fairly accurate.

S. Paltelky asked for clarification on what the Tax Administration fee was. B. Tadajewski provided an explanation.

A special meeting to approve the budgets and fireworks was scheduled for June 28th at 5:15 pm at the Township Hall. There was also discussion regarding the pay rate for special meetings. K. Fournier recommended that the rate of pay be based on per diem rates. It was decided to address the issue further at the special meeting.

The public hearing was closed at 8:13 pm and the regular meeting was reopened.

REPORTS (cont'd)

Parks and Recreation: L. Morrison presented a draft letter to thank P. Pettalia for his years of service on the Parks and Recreation Committee for members to review. He read it aloud, and a suggestion to include "in partnership with Les Nichols" was given to clarify the portion regarding the acquisition of the lighthouse parks. It was approved by the Board, and will be printed and signed at the meeting on the 28th. At this time, L. Morrison also asked for the office staff to provide him copies of all the minutes pertaining to the tree cutting (including any discussions) that was done at the parks, as well as minutes that show how much has been spent so far on subsequent clean-up work. He continued his report stating that Jeff Lewis and Alan McConnell had attended the last meeting, and provided an update on the progress of the fireworks. A letter from the LLIA was received thanking the township for their contribution towards the cormorant program, the letter confirming the extension of the lens grant had been received, D. Rivard was helping N. Kinney with the P & R budget, C. Peters gave an update on the progress of the projects at the parks, a landscaping plan was approve for the Old Lighthouse, members wanted to discuss the possibility of using the old library building for storage and a workshop, it was decided that no basketball hoops will be installed at the township hall, additional work lists were provided and need to be prioritized and approved, $250 for materials to help fix the bat problem was approved, and they are also working on prioritizing the CIP list and assigning figures. At this time, L. Morrison also asked to determine whether or not C. Peters needed to be reappointed following his resignation. P. Pokorski asked whether or not his resignation was ever formally accepted, and K. Fournier suggested contacting MTA to determine what is considered an accepted resignation. Once that is determined, they will be able to decide on what next steps need to be taken. P. Pokorski will contact MTA and let P & R know what needs to be done next. There was also discussion regarding the use of the old library. Volunteers were not requesting any money other than the cost of heat and electricity; the same as what is currently happening at Garraty Hall. Members felt it was a good use for the building, and following further discussion, L. Morrison made a motion to allow volunteers to use the old library as a workshop/storage facility. It was noted that the budget for heat and electric for the building will need to be adjusted, and that it should be included in the Parks and Rec. budget. There was additional discussion regarding which figures would need to be obtained, however, all members agreed to allow them to use the building. L. Morrison also reported on the J. Kimball's summer programs, B. Schatz confirmed that we are linked in with the Pure Michigan website, and the memorial bench situation is being addressed. The cost for the summer programs was discussed. The total cost for the programs this year is $300.00. K. Fournier made a motion to expend up to $300.00 for this year's summer programs. C. Paavola seconded. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried.

ZBA: C. Paavola reported that they have reviewed the by-laws to determine whether or not they had the right to change and/or appoint new members due to D. Osgood's lack of attendance. It was concluded that their by-laws support such action. C. Paavola made a motion to move Bill Lewis from the alternate position to a permanent seat to replace D. Osgood, and to appoint Barbara Sharpe as the alternate. L. Morrison seconded. All ayes; motion carried. The next meeting is in July. J. Broad will inform D. Osgood of the change.

Zoning Administrator: no report

Assessor: C. Most reported that the State is still working on the restructuring of the State Tax Commission.

Office Staff: E. Comerford reported that she has finally been able to obtain information regarding the Governor's Executive Directive that opened the state health care plan to local units of government. We have been added to a list, and will be notified of updates as they become available. She also asked permission to post Cemetery Data Corp's link to our cemetery on the new township cemetery web page. Being that it is a private company, permission is needed. K. Fournier made a motion to allow the Township to post Cemetery Data Corps. link to our website; Seconded by B. Tadajewski. All ayes; motion carried. E. Comerford had two items that she asked to have added to G. Campbell's project list for the hall; the new mailbox needs to be installed, and the septic tank lids need to be adequately marked (at the request of our septic service provider). K. Fournier stated that she would take care of marking the tank lids. All materials for the mailbox are already here, it just needs to be installed. L. Morrison made a motion to pay G. Campbell to put up the new mailbox. C. Paavola seconded. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes motion carried. E. Comerford asked for clarification, on behalf of Barb Nichols, as to who was to be responsible for cleaning the kitchen at Garraty Hall and getting it ready for inspection. P. Pokorski stated that he would be contact with her and C. Peters to discuss the matter further. She passed on another request on behalf of the Museum Society; they are asking to be able to use the township copy machine to run off 100 copies of the food order forms for the Independence Day Picnic. They offered to supply their own paper. The Board approved her request. E. Comerford recommended the township look into replacing the flags out front. The State flag is in terrible condition, and the American flag is becoming quite faded. K. Fournier asked her to get an estimate for replacements for next month's meeting. She also recommended purchasing another first aid kit for the hall to put it in the kitchen. The one in the office is lacking adequate supplies, and is not accessible to anyone other than the office since it's in a locked room. If anyone rents or uses the hall, there's nothing available outside of the office. P. Pokorski made a motion to spend up to $70.00 towards the purchase of a new first aid kit for the kitchen. K. Fournier seconded. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried. They also stated that they will purchase new bandages for the kit in the office. E. Comerford also asked the Board whether or not they would be interested in posting the Township on Facebook. The idea had been discussed by members of the community, and she said she would mention it. Following a brief discussion, the Board felt it was not in the best interest of the Township.

Sexton: P. Pokorski reported that there have been two full burials, and he asked for the Board's opinion on a proposal that was presented. A gentleman asked to be able to dig the hole for his mother's cremation burial, and wondered whether or not the charge for the service would be the same. Members discussed the matter, and K. Fournier made a motion to charge a flat fee of $50.00 for those who wish to dig their own sites, and for it to be added to the cemetery fee forms. P. Pokorski and E. Comerford will be tasked with determining the wording. The motion was not seconded, however, all members agreed.

Supervisor: P. Pokorski provided an explanation of the scheduled wetlands determination visit. He has been working with the DNRE on the Lake Esau issue, and when he asked them about wetland determinations, they informed him that they now charge for the service, however, if he called Ed Arthur from the Army Corps of Engineers, they do the same service for free. With that, he scheduled a visit, and they will be inspecting the areas in question at the parks. The notification email was sent for informational purposes only, and it was clarified that it's not a paid or required meeting.

K. Fournier asked to go back to the sexton's report. She stated that no one had ever been approved for the maintenance of the cemetery, and she also asked about a budget for flowers at the cemetery. E. Comerford pointed out that there was also a motion made, but no second. P. Pokorski responded that they never had a contract, but G. Campbell did it this time because it was so bad before the holidays. He continued stating that the Board can use his time sheet to determine how many hours it took, and decide from there what the cost for him to do it would be versus the bids that came in. K. Fournier reminded that they cannot reimburse expenses that have not been approved. She asked P. Pokorski to provide a budget breakdown of expenses at the cemetery which would include maintenance and flowers. When asked, D. Trelfa informed that she has spent about $40.00 of her own to purchase flowers this year. She explained that the intent is to keep adding perennials so that eventually, they won't have to keep replanting. K. Fournier made a motion to approve up to $100.00 for flowers at the cemetery. C. Paavola seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried. K. Fournier told D. Trelfa to turn in her receipts for what she has purchased so far and they will reimburse her. At this time, L. Morrison expressed his concern about the progress of the cemetery drive. P. Pokorski and A. Paltelky provided an update report to him, and some discussion was had regarding the matter. P. Pokorski also informed members that the split rail fence is rotted and falling down in some places, and asked for them to think about what they may like to do for a replacement. C. Paavola informed that some volunteers were interested in painting and installing a cross at the pavilion at the cemetery. She gave a color chart to A. Paltelky. N. Kinney picked out some colors. The matter will be discussed further with Parks and Rec.

P. Pokorski read a notice from the Liquor Control Commission informing that local approval is required for a Dance-Entertainment permit for The Portage Restaurant. He continued to explain that without that permit, if they have a small wedding or even a radio playing music that someone danced to, they would be in violation.

12653 E. Grand Lake Road
Presque Isle, MI 49777

P. Pokorski also read a letter from Wolverine Fireworks. In summary, it confirmed the past experience, ability, and training history of Jerry Broad in support of his offer to help with the fireworks this year. P. Pokorski also asked to address a concern from Dawn Barrett regarding the determination of which correspondence is to be included fully in the township minutes versus which just get referenced. She had submitted a letter to all Township Board members addressing the rumors of her involvement in the Township Shadow website, but it was never included in the minutes. K. Fournier thought that it was by request, but as discussed earlier, MTA will be contacted to confirm. The letter from D. Barrett will be filed under Correspondence at the Township Hall. A letter from McKenna was also read. It pertained to the wireless consulting services that they are now able to offer through CMS, a wireless consulting firm who works exclusively for municipalities. A letter from the Museum Society was also read. They were requesting the Township's contribution to the Independence Day Picnic be increased from $500.00 to $1,000.00 to help offset increasing costs. K. Fournier made a motion to approve $500.00 for the annual Independence Day Picnic to be paid out of Rec Long Range. B. Tadajewski seconded. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried. P. Pokorski also informed that the final letter confirming the extension of the lens grant has been received and is on file. Lastly, he presented a copy of the PI Wooden Boat Show booklets. The last page was a full-page ad for Presque Isle. In the past, TBSM had paid for the ad. The company was not able to get in contact with them this year to see if they wanted to run it again. Due to the history of the ad, they ran it anyways. They have not obtained payment, and asked if the Township would consider contributing $100.00 (towards the $380.00 ad) to help offset the expense. The members did not agree with their practices, and did not wish to make any contributions.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS - none

NEW BUSINESS

Concessionaire Agreement: P. Pokorski asked if, rather than send it to the attorney to draft, the Board would consider having members of both this Board and the Parks and Rec board work to piece together a new contract based on what they already have. Being that they have all of the notes and copies of additions, it seemed to make more financial sense to do most of the work themselves, and then just have the attorney finalize it. All members agreed it was a good idea. C. Paavola stated that she would like to be involved.

Parks and Rec. Expenditures: K. Fournier explained that in the past month's, they have approved money for projects at the parks, however, when the bills/receipts come in, she has no idea which projects they are for, so she has no way of keeping track how much has been spent for each of the approved projects. She had also contacted L. Morrison and P. Pokorski stating her concern that she had been told that G. Campbell had said that he was working full time for the Township, and she had also been informed that he had two full weeks worth of pay to turn in. She came to her office to find over $2,000 worth of pay requests. She clarified that the only thing that had been approved for him to do were the locks at the Township Hall. She also clarified that there was supposed to have been a prioritized list with figures submitted to the Board for approval prior to any work being done. She handed out packets of what's been turned in so far, and also indicated which of them have been paid. She stated that from now on, if Parks and Rec has a project they're working on that's been approved, they need to turn in invoices/receipts in a more organized manner and state which project they belong to so she can know what goes with what and ensure that things are being paid out of the proper accounts. In regards to the maintenance person, there is $2,000 worth of unapproved expenditures and she is very concerned about the direction in which this is heading. She made a motion that from this point forward, until they have a budget set by Parks and Rec for every one of the expenditures, that not one penny be paid for an on-call maintenance person for any project until the project has been brought before the Board with an estimate of cost for approval prior to the work being done. B. Tadajewski clarified that from this point forward, until a budget is received and projects are approved, there is no on-call maintenance person. Members agreed. B. Tadajewski seconded the motion. Members were also concerned since no one seemed to know who authorized the work to be done. K. Fournier said that she has spoke with N. Kinney, and has asked her to find out. She also gave her a copy of the packet of submitted pay requests for reference. All ayes; motion carried. K. Fournier asked if the board would like to go through and review the remainder of the expenditures, and determine whether or no they would like to approve them. B. Tadajewski suggested that, due to the number of them, they review them at their special meeting. All members agreed. K. Fournier pulled out a few specific ones that she would like to address. She stated that she would like to hold off on the reimbursement for Mark Walker, and made a motion to reimburse Harriet Poch $75.17 for flowers and mulch, and Clayton Peters $17.92. She also stated that she is holding a pay check for C. Peters until it is determined whether or not his resignation was accepted. B. Tadajewski seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes; motion carried.

Adjournment: With no other business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 9:52 p.m. The next regular Township Board meeting is scheduled for July 12th at 7:00 p.m.
