October 27, 1993

The meeting of the Supervisors of Franklin Township for their
fall road inspection was called to order at 0900 hours.  Present
were Herbert Netzler, Benjamin Sitek and David Henderson.  The
Supervisors left the Township building at 0900 hours.  They
returned at 1125 hours.

Building Permit Fee - discussion on the cost of building permits.
Dave said that we went to a flat fee because of the minimal work
involved on our part.  The inspector does the same amount of work
no matter what the size of the structure or addition.  The idea
isn't to make money, we get our money from real estate taxes.

Workers Compensation Insurance - Herb said he got a letter from
Labor and Industry which says the Amish are exempt from comp.
coverage for religious purposes.

ROAD INSPECTION
Discussion on fixing the water hole at Falls and Francis.

Netzler - if we see a problem at a residence and call attention
to it, do we have to take action to remedy the situation.  I'm
thinking of the water running onto the road at Mischler's,
Aldrich's and Sult's and the cement drive at the other Aldrich
property.

Sitek - a lot of areas, weather permitting, need touched up with
ditching.

Henderson - I have a list of trouble spots.  It will soon be time
to change the equipment over for snow.  I planned on readying one
truck for snow and leaving the other until Thanksgiving.

ADJOURN
Sitek moved to adjourn, Netzler seconded.  Meeting adjourned at
1135 hours.
