  3. He recommends that we create a Township Capital Fund and a Park Capital Fund. We  will have Counsel draft an ordinance to create these accounts. The electors at the Annual  Town Meeting will have to approve a transfer of funds to these new accounts.  
  4. We will need to specify reasons for new funds/accounts for building, land and equipment.  These funds will be used with approval of the electors for committed purposes and  assigned to funds/accounts with the ability to move money between funds. 5. We will come up with a Park Agreement Addendum to assign responsibilities to users.
  5. We will come up with a proposal for purchasing park equipment. 

Road Commissioner, Frank Sturm, II:  

  1. Leaf pickup has been completed as of 12/7/21. We can no longer dump collected leaves  at Good Forest, as they are full. Disposal next year is in question. 
  2. The road district fax line has been making 411 calls again. These calls go to 911. Frontier  was contacted and according to their service personnel, this has been resolved. 3. Frank is considering closing Cline Rd for the winter from COP limits to Cedar Hills Dr.  There are no houses on this stretch. The County Highway Department and the City of  Peoria are fine with this closure. We will put up signs and barricades. 
  3. Township Road District is not planning to replace the bridge at Staab and Hicks Hollow  roads if it fails. We may be able to repair the bridge but only with participation from  Hallock Township as the bridge serves their constituents. After discussion with the  board, we concurred with the road commissioner’s potential decision to not replace the  bridge. None of the board members voiced any opposition.  
  4. Frank signed the license agreement with Oberlander for the streetlights that Oberlander  will maintain.

Trustees: 

Trustee Parr reported that some ditch maintenance was needed and culverts might need to be  replaced.
