David Armentrout addressed the Board. He informed the Board as to how the community’s tax dollars were being spent. The rental property and the garage were being hooked to sewer. He suggested that the ZBA have an organization meeting in January if there was no other business for them. This had never come up before. They are working on an alert system for the township. The land and equipment for the park is paid for and in. There are no outstanding debts except the possibility of putting in a sewer system. If money becomes available, they may be replacing the building at the cemetery. They have been working on a new agreement with the Hot Stove League. They are hoping to have a resolution with the Water Company this year. Two seats are open for the Trustees this year (Armentrout and Dillon).

He thanked the Board members for serving.

Mr. Cutright adjourned the meeting.
