Election of Officers

Barb Sturbaum is elected President and Susie Hamilton is elected secretary. All in agreement.

Winter Emergency Shelter Request

John Nyota presents a request for The Winter Emergency Shelter. They are requesting $100,000.00 to hire full time employees to manage the shelter. There is a great need for help in setting up, checking in, and then with waking up and checking out. The volunteers are not enough at this time. Dan suggests we give $15,000.00 and they request again in the fall when all community groups request funding. Barb motions to approve the request, Jack seconds, all agree.

Foundation Repair

Branden presents three estimates to the board to repair the foundation issues in the main building where there are issues and water is coming into the building. Dan and Branden suggest going with Potter Engineering who actually wants to look further into the issue before fixing it. Barb moves to go with this foundation company, Jack seconds, all agree.

Roofing Estimates

Branden presents quotes for replacing the roof over the B building to the board. Each of the three companies provided a quote for shingles and metal roofing. Dan and Branden suggest to the board that they use the Amish construction company due to the price and they are willing to do the metal roofing that is wanted. Jack moves to accept the Amish construction company, Barb Seconds.

Guideline Change

The annual housing guidelines, poverty guidelines, and food stamps guidelines have gone up. The board approves the guideline change.

Other

Area 10 requested to have several items in one of the apartments to be repaired by the Township. Dan discusses with the board what repairs the Township should be responsible for based on the contracts they have as well as possibly needing to draw up new contracts. The board agrees to leave future negotiations to William.

Then next meeting is scheduled for February 13 th at 1:00 pm.

Meeting was adjourned at 2:30 pm.
