APPROVAL OF AGENDA
HOMETOWN

Bob
Hanvey updated the board members on the water tower sites.
The
Hometown
Village
site was not appropriate from an engineering standpoint, and the cost to put
it on the Eagles’ property was too high.
Mr. Hanvey said there are lots in Copperfield, adjacent to the
Eagles’ site, that are up for tax sale.

He feels it would be best to bid the refusal price of $27,500.
Dan Lowe said he thinks the township only needs lots 29 and 30, and
there is no fall zone for water towers.
