Bob Schultz and Bruce Bennefeld are present regarding their property on Lake Mary Township. Their property is about 1300 ft from the sewer line off of State Hwy 114.

They are only planning on having one house on the mound system. If they would plat it out they would do city sewer. Discussion was had. Motion by Brad that the board has no objections to a mound system as long as it meets DNR requirements and county requirements and that it is only a single family dwelling. This is only good for one year whether or not it is sold and when their year is up they must re-apply for the mound system with the township. Motion seconded by James. Motion carried 3-0.

James will contact Jeff Runge so he can go over the roads really quick before the chloride goes down.
Jeff Runge is present and is stating that we need to put some more gravel on Woodsmen, Long Lake and Oriole Lane. This is okay with the board because we still have 300 yards to use up this year. Also, the thistles are really bad in certain areas. James will contact the people along the road in these areas to make sure it is taken care of.

Shawn Stoen was present for Holmes City First Responders. They had 8 call with three in Lake Mary Township. Shawn reported that Holmes City Township voted the first responders unit out last year because of liability and insurance reasons.
They are now Holmes City Area First Responders. With having the Township vote out the responder unit they now have to pick up all the costs themselves. The rig insurance itself is about $1500 - $2000 a year and they have to cover their own work comp insurance now. The only way they can function is on township donation and fund raisers now. They rent the Holmes City Town Hall as of now. Since they are not under a township they cannot apply for FEMA grants any more either. They are asking for $1000 to $1500 in donations. They will be having a fund raiser but if there is not enough money they will have to discontinue the first responders unit. Discussion was had.

He presented the budget for AAEDC and went over the jobs they helped keep in the Alexandria Area and the jobs that were created. They are requesting $4,000 from Lake Mary Township for the 2010 budget. It is less than last year because of the economic times and they felt it was only right. The one part time person will stay part time and the other 2 office people will pick up more work. They are now working more on helping the employers keep the employees they have instead of doing lay offs. Motion by Alan Johnson for $4,000 which was seconded by Dean Radil. Yeas: All.
We have only one petition for tarring a road which is for the frontage road by Blairview Saddle Shop. We have called for a feasibility study to be done and it will be presented at the April 14, 2009 meeting. Once that is brought back to the board there will be a public hearing set. There has been some roads that have had to have culverts steamed out with roads fixed after that. Fish Hook was never tarred and Nemic Estates was done and completed at the end of November 2008. Our road maintenance person, Dan Greeley, went into partnership with Jeff Runge. There was questions as to whether we should get our own equipment and hire someone through the township. This would mean purchasing a truck and grader. Dean did some checking and the county will be selling a grader within the next couple of years which would be between $17,000 to $19,000. Discussion was had.
Bonnie is looking for more election judges. As of now the pay is $10 per hour. In the even numbered years each election judge has to have a two hour training session which the county puts on. If anyone is interested please contact Bonnie.
Discussion was had on funding for the Alexandria Senior Center. Alan Johnson was present requesting $500 as in the past. There are a lot of activities at the senior center for anyone interested. Motion by Max Radil and seconded by Linda Dokken-McFann for a $500 donation. Yeas: All.
Brad presented the budget to the township people. Discussion was had. Motion by Alan Johnson and seconded by Lyla Radil to accept the budget as presented. Yeas: All.
Levies were set.
The next annual meeting will be March 9, 2010 at 8:15pm which will follow the annual election for a supervisor position and the clerk position.
Motion to adjourn by Lyla Radil and seconded by Linda Dokken-McFann at 9:35pm. Yeas: All.
Respectfully Submitted.
