Supervisor Parker: I’m not sure that if everyone has received an invitation from the Magic Kitchen Catering Group and Restaurant requesting the honor of your presence at a Grand Opening. There is a new banquet center which is located on North Park Street. The open house celebration is Tuesday, the 21^st. that’s a week from tomorrow from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 21^st 5 to 7 p.m. It’s actually located directly behind the Marie Davis Senior Citizens Facility downtown. Lastly, I want to thank Shelley Pat freeman along with Philip McKenna of the McKenna Associates. If was a tremendously showing and without their support going to Vegas and really putting together a first class packet and proposal, we would still be fishing in the big waters.

Trustee Martin: I have a few things. First to you, Mr. Manager, is the Waste Water Treatment Informational meeting is still on the schedule? Secondly, I just throwing this out and somewhere in the packet or somewhere, we were in need of anchorage to fulfill our Parks & Recreation. Would it be a good idea for the Township and Board of Education to get together to possibly combine some recreational barriers or would you put that down on your agenda sir. Survey, Mr. Mitchell, I know sometime you have stated that we had to downscale the play scape from 180,000, was that ever done? But we can look forward to that. At this point in time, I would just like to say that without sounding redundant that it’s a great thing that Buena Vista has turned around a Buena Vista. It’s really really something and I want to congratulate and give kudos to all the employees of Buena Vista Township for the turnaround and we are doing some great things. Keep on pushing. Last but not least, I think that the presentation of Las Vegas, dealing with mall developments, that’s the best information that I’ve had without attending a conference. I really mean that.

Mr. Williams: I have four. First one is a request from the Board in regarding to our Treatment Plant facility and the cost capital and improvement that we done since 1998. If you would view that you would see the list of the improvements starting from 1998 up until 2005. Basically in 1998 to 2001 you will see a variety of numbers which regards to our use to our influent and effluent pumps and then basically what we have decided to do in 2004 we borrowed and then another picture in 2003 our filter cost and only showed 18,000.00 but the total was 118,000.00. The 100,000 was paid by the insurance company. I believe that brings you up to date as to the questions the Board has to capital improvement projects from 1998 to current. Next is your budget vs. actual the month of April. We are 3 percent under budget and we are moving in the right direction. May’s report will be done by the next board meeting. Thirdly, something that was brought up actually by residents regarding our telephone skills. I took all of the administrative staff to SVSU for some training at a workshop. And I also attended myself to see what was being taught. Last but not least, again was are on the brink of our 14^th Annual Rib Cook-Off which will be held July 23^rd and 24^th. This year we will feature Motown Review Horizons on Saturday and as well as Sunday; we have a variety of entertainment for all music such as country, R & B, and gospel, jazz. This year will be the best and greatest.

ADJOURNMENT: Motioned by Martin second by Montgomery to adjourn the meeting at 8:25 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
