A tanker truck committee is researching for a replacement truck. The Fire Department currently has $38,461.19 towards the purchase, which will be put in a CD to earn interest. The cost of a thermal imager is being looked into. The purchase of epi-pens requires a prescription which will require opening up an account with the hospital. The Marshfield Fire Department Chief would like to re-establish mutual aid contracts with bordering townships, which would benefit the township with the access to ladder truck. Discussion of next years’ breakfast fundraiser and Get Fired Up event were discussed.
CONTINUING BUSINESS:
Bakerville Sports Bar & Grill: ATV Route: Discussion by board regarding ATV use on both township and county roads. Mention that some surrounding townships, Town of Cameron and Town of Marshfield, do not allow use of ATV’s on roadways. With or without approved routes, some will still run ATV’s on the road, which then becomes an enforcement issue. ATV club representative reported that road/ditch damage would be repaired by the club. Approval of ATV road use would need to ensure access to all township taverns. Allowing ATV use on roads has the possibility of generating some income for the local businesses. Discussion that ATV use on roads would be re-visited in the future and the township would have the ability to revoke the approval if rules/laws are not adhered to. Motion by Dave Rogers to approve ATV use on township roads contingent on the County approval allowing ATVs on county roads, and a club representative contact is provided; second by Josh Maurtiz.
