The May 8, 2001 meeting was called to order by Supervisor-elect Anderson at 7:40 p.m. Judge Tim Sheldon swore in Neal Anderson as Supervisor, Richard Johansen as Clerk, Ric Manser, Donna Vogel Gillen, Kathleen Judy, and John Kupar as Trustees, Al Rottmann as Assessor, and Sam Gallucci as Highway Commissioner. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Clerk Johansen called the roll with Supervisor Anderson and Trustees Manser, Gillen, Judy, and Kupar present. Supervisor Anderson called for the Agenda Reports.

S. Gallucci stated he has interviewed six applicants, and hired four employees, and a foreman. He has started brush pick-up, has culvert permit requests, and is catching up on bill paying and office organization.

A. Rottmann stated the new office phones are hooked up and he is waiting for cable for his computer network. The computers work individually for now. Tax bills will be late because he is waiting for the County multiplier. It is one.

N. Anderson thanked township residents for their support and stated he is looking forward to working with the new Board.

Sergeant Groening spoke on two questions: parking and a proposed sub-station.

1. Parking on School Street: There is a No Parking sign there now because the west side is parallel parking and the east side is diagonal. That creates a hazard backing up. He only asks people to move when there is a baseball game. He suggested changing the sign’s wording to read: "No Parking Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM", would solve the problem. He added he doesn’t know what authority placed the sign there. N. Anderson stated it is up to the Road Commissioner to determine how the signs got there. S. Gallucci stated he would find out how the signs got there and how they could be changed.

2. Sub-Station: The Sheriff is looking for space. Campton offered room in the basement of Malek Hall. Problems he sees there are: portable radio reception, whether it is ADA acceptable, and image - the basement is not the appearance of the Sheriff. They like the first floor conference room. All three shifts would use it. K. Judy asked how many Deputies would use it? Answer is two, they would write reports, meet citizens or other officers. It could be 24 hours traffic but not manned 24 hours. K. Judy asked would you want a lease? Answer is the Sheriff is not budgeted funds for rent. N. Anderson asked would you be interested in the highway garage office? Answer is no, they want it attached to the community. K. Judy asked have you asked in writing? Answer is no, because of the Board transition.

On another matter R. Manser asked if Sergeant Groening had any information on break-ins on Town Hall Rd. Answer is no information.

Barbara Wojnicki asked who would pay for the phone at the sub-station? Answer is the Sheriff. Kimberly Tobar asked how much more police coverage would there be with the sub-station? Answer is unable to express it as a percentage. Joe Garbarski asked about arson damage of the outhouse at the Verhaghe Fields? Answer is they will have cars drive by.
