Ayes all.

    J.2  Resignation of Dan Herriman as Trustee

Mr. Mann explained that prior commitments prevent Mr. Herriman from attendance at the two remaining meetings in this term, thus he wished to resign. He also indicated that because of the short time remaining for the current term, it would be impractical to make a new interim appointment.

Ms. Arnold moved to accept the resignation of Dan Herriman as Plymouth Township Trustee. Seconded by Mr. Edwards.

Ayes all.

K. SUPERVISOR COMMENTS – There were none.

L. TRUSTEE COMMENTS

Mr. Bailey updated the Board on the status of the water tower project, in answer to Mr. Curmi’s question.

Ms. Arnold noted that the Fire Department Open House was very successful.

Mr. Edwards said he felt the impression Mr. Curmi made was misleading in his comments to the newspaper regarding too much spending and borrowing by the Township. Mr. Edwards said the largest borrowing and spending done in the last three years was for the WTUA project. That, the sprayscape, and the Township Hall were purposeful projects, not just useless borrowing and spending.

M. PUBLIC COMMENT – There was none.

ADJOURN

Mrs. Massengill moved to adjourn the meeting. Supported by Mr. Edwards.

Ayes all.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:14 p.m.
