Minutes of the October 2004 Supervisors' Meeting

The Silver Lake Township Supervisors held their regular monthly meeting on Monday, October 4, 2004 at the Silver Lake Township Building. Terrence Dugan called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM and everyone saluted the Flag.

The minutes of the September meeting were read and approved. The Treasurer’s report was read, approved and held for audit on a motion made by Tom Swan and seconded by Terry Dugan.

Public Comment: A resident asked the price on the new truck that has been ordered. Tom Swan stated the piggyback price was approximately $112,000. It was asked if there was any update on cell towers. I.W.A. has been putting some pressure on various companies to make a commitment. If there are no firm commitments by the beginning of the year, I.W.A. is asking the Supervisors to get in contact with State Representatives for help.

Terry Dugan explained that Silver Lake Township declared a state of emergency with the September 17, 2004 storm. FEMA is asking for a resolution to designate one Supervisor as the main contact. Terry Dugan made a motion to appoint Tom Swan as the primary contact and Sandy Payne seconded, approved.
