OSS Solid Waste District Grant
Ms. Rozak reported recently learning that the township’s grant application to the OSS Joint Solid Waste District was not approved for funding. She reminded the Board that if approved this grant would have been used to purchase an identification sign for Meadow-brook. Base on a quote obtained from Plastic Lumber Co. in April cost of that sign plus shipping was $4,375.50. This sign would match signs purchased for other township properties last year.
Mr. Hirt moved to proceed with the purchase of an identification sign for Meadowbrook from Plastic Lumber Co. at a cost not to exceed $4800.00. Second by Mr. Englebeck. Vote: Mr. Englebeck-yes; Mr. Hirt-yes; Ms. Rozak-yes. Motion carried.

A claim will be filed with the driver’s insurance company for reimbursement. Brief discussion was held on replacing it with a different style of lighted stop sign.
Wildlife Crossing Sign
Jim Dress reported he has received signs to be located at Meadowbrook warning motorists to watch for wildlife crossing but added the signs have a picture of an adult and baby ducks on them. Trustees asked him to find out if wildlife crossing signs are available as opposed to duck crossing signs.
