OLD BUSINESS
Supervisor Uhl received the fire property purchase agreement prior to tonight's meeting. The final purchase agreement will need to be reviewed by board members. Supervisor Uhl would like feedback from board members by Monday so she can email our attorney. Supervisor Uhl also spoke to Pat McGow regarding a special assessment, he does not recommend it for a building statute. Special assessments are mainly used for operating fire and police service. He recommends pursuing a millage option while we continue seeking grant opportunities. The collection of a millage will not affect the criteria necessary in obtaining grants. Supervisor Uhl contacted MTA regarding millage amounts. Millage criteria allowing for a cap to be placed on specific amounts will be investigated. Trustee Juckette questioned if we could reevaluate each year. Supervisor Uhl will contact the attorney to obtain ballot proposal language and present it at the next regular meeting on July 13th.
