REPORT OF THE CHAIRPERSON-Mary Woznak
Sent all past due refuse accounts to the
collection agencies and we are getting phone calls and complaints.
The meeting room looks good.
REPORT OF THE VICE-CHAIRMAN-Randy
Vojtowicz
Nothing to report
REPORT OF THE ROADMASTER-Joe Peruso
I got some information on trail cams.
I think that using these would be really good in all our problem areas
concerning illegal dumping. The ones I looked at are infra-red so they
won’t flash at night and they send a text message to a cell phone within
2 minutes of capturing a picture, so our police officers could be there
right away and catch them in the act. Vojtowicz- How much are they? Peruso-
I think around $500.00 a piece. Vojtowicz- How many would we need? Officer
Smith- get at least 2. Peruso- we have 3 sites that are problem now, but
we can always move them around the Township if need be.
Motion to purchase 3 trail cams from the
General Fund made by Vojtowicz. 2nd by Spanko. Roll Call Vote: Peruso-
Aye, Spanko-Aye, Thomson-Aye, Vojtowicz-Aye, Woznak-Aye. Motion Carried.

The training for the Visual Alert is $1,000.00.
We will try to shoot for a class sometime in November. Shannan will

Motion to set up a mandatory training
class, if any officer does not attend the mandatory class they will be
suspended until they take the class which will be at their own expense
and will be reinstated once they have the proof they attended the class.
Also, we will provide a training manual for each officer made by Vojtowicz.
