XI. OFFICERS REPORT
- Supervisor Usakowski
The county is putting in another round about at Abbotsford and Lapeer Roads.
The state bumped our AMAR review up a year.
CARES Act: I sent out an email to Clerk Wrubel knowing what is going on with Lost Revenue.
Discussion regarding Lost Revenue (unrestricted). If we didn’t want to calculate it we could use $10,000,000.00 as your Lost Revenue.
Discussion.
- Clerk Wrubel
Talked to Dave Lewandowski and Philip Porty from BMJ and they would like to come in and meet with us about giving us a second bid for Allen Road.
- Treasurer Jackson
The general is at $1,154.000.00.
- Trustee Hoffman
Absent.
E.
Trustee Deland
Absent.
- Trustee Sturdevant
There is a fish fry this Friday at the American Legion take out only. Going to try and do breakfast next Sunday at the Masonic Lodge.
My thoughts on the Covid money, I think that we need to address the sewer issue with this new development on Range Road. Everything that they are building is going to end up going through the Allen Road Lift Station. Honestly I think that we are at capacity already. I don’t think that we should allow them to build anymore. We should put a stop on that site plan.
Usakowski: We need to put in a force main maybe, which I think is the answer.
Discussion.
- Trustee Ward
Registration for Little League will happen from 10 to 12 noon on Saturday, February 5, 2022 at the fire department. Could we put something on the electronic sign out front to visit our Facebook page? We will have it on our website until April 1st.
