Enforcement Officer, Douglas Kuhlman was not in attendance. He left the wrong permit log, so not sure what permits were issued for Mottville.

Brian from Premiere Signs was in attendance to present to the Board an estimate and pictures for the new LED sign at the Township. His estimate was less than Burkett Signs at the beginning, so I wanted a new estimate from Premier Signs. He spoke in depth and answered the Boards questions. If everything goes as planned, we should be ready to go forward in April.

Mike Wilson from Norman and Paulsen was in attendance to give the audit report. The Township received a clean opinion, which is good. Mike reviewed the audit with the Board.
