October 20, 1994

A special meeting of the Supervisors of Franklin Township for
road inspection was called to order by Chairman Benjamin Sitek at
0902 hours.  Present were Sitek, Herbert Netzler and David
Henderson.

REFORMULATED GAS/EMISSIONS INSPECTION
Netzler - I think we should write to all our legislators asking
them to ban regulations on reformulated gas and on emissions
inspection.  It will hurt the liquid fuel payments to all
townships.

Henderson - it should be all or nothing.

Netzler and the secretary were authorized to write a letter to
all our legislators opposing reformulated gasoline and emission
inspections regulations.

Supervisors left for road inspection at 0909 hours.
Supervisors returned from road inspection at 1004 hours.

FRONT FOOTAGE/SILVERTHORN
Sitek - the residents have two questions, one is on whether the
money is tax deductible and the second is whether they can still
get a personal loan with the lien on their property.

The question on tax deduction is in the Attorney's hands and yes,
they can get a personal loan with the lien on the property.

Sitek - they also want to know if the total frontage can be
divided equally between the residents so everyone pays the same
amount.  Is it legal?

Netzler - no, they can't, it's not legal.

Sitek - the people voted on the basis that the money was tax
deductible.  If it's not we should have a revote.

Netzler - a petition was handed in.  I think it must be presented
to the Board during an advertised meeting.  I will check with our
Attorney.  I want to make sure it was handed in legally so we
don't get stuck with that road.

Henderson - it doesn't matter if we have a properly signed
petition.  On whose authority would we send it back out?

Sitek - the reason was misinformation if the money is not tax
deductible.  I was handed the petition which was signed by all
the residents, yes or no.  The deadline was 10/24, it was turned
in on 10/11/94.

Henderson - tax deduction will depend on how the money is billed
out.

Netzler - bill it out as a contribution.

Netzler left the meeting at 1009 hours.

LETTERS/ROAD INSPECTION
Sitek moved to send Virgil Egli and Joe Platz a letter asking
them to remove abandoned fence posts on their properties that are
in the Township road right-of-way.  Henderson seconded.  Carried.

ADJOURN
Sitek called the meeting adjourned at 1014 hours.
