October 7, 1994

The special meeting of the Supervisors of Franklin Township to
consider the purchase of a boom mower, held in the Township
office, was called to order by Chairman Benjamin Sitek at 0900
hours.  Present were Sitek, David Henderson, Herbert Netzler and
representatives from Seigworth Road Supply and Walsh Equipment.

Both companies demonstrated their respective machines on a
Township road.  Herbert Netzler returned to the building at 1030
hours, left a sealed vote and left the meeting.  Sitek and
Henderson returned to the building at 1100 hours.

Henderson moved to accept the bid for a Tiger mower from Walsh
Equipment as bid with ditcher and to accept Dollar Bank's lease
for financing, instructing the Secretary to complete all
necessary paperwork for the purchase and lease.  Also to
authorize the Supervisors to sign all necessary documents and to
make application to Capital Projects Loan Fund authorizing the
Secretary to complete all necessary documents and authorizing the
Supervisors to sign all necessary documents.  Sitek seconded. 
Carried.  Vote:  Henderson, yes; Sitek, yes; Netzler, yes.  In
his sealed vote, Netzler commented that he voted for the Tiger
for the stability and the round wheel on the cutters.  Adding
that he thought the Ford and it's mower are great but it has some
updating to do.

Weiss Driveway Pipe Gravel - Dave commented that we can add a
second load of gravel if they pay another $35.  We never go
beyond the road right-of-way with gravel.

Sitek - if they need a second load to provide additional
coverage, it's another $35.

Henderson moved that if a property owner needs more gravel to
cover a newly installed driveway pipe, they will have to pay an
additional $35 fee.  Sitek seconded.  Carried.

Elk Creek Twp. Plow - Henderson moved to trade the Frink plow
from P & S to Elk Creek Twp. in exchange for their grader plow
that we've been using.  Netzler seconded.  Carried.  (This motion
was made during the mower demonstration.)

Henderson - we need to negotiate with Ted on the price of the
Frink plow.  It's bigger but has been welded on all four corners.
It's not worth $1,000.

Henderson moved to try to negotiate the price for the Frink plow
owned by P & S to $800.  Sitek seconded.  Carried.

ADJOURN
Sitek called the meeting adjourned at 1123 hours.
