Trustee Carter: I would like to draw the Boards attention to agenda item four, which are the monthly report of the Buena Vista Police Department and the Code Enforcement report that is the contained therein. I just like you guys to know that Chief Booker and his department is doing a wonderful job working on these ordinances and we still have a ways to go. I just wanted to commend Chief Booker and his department for working diligently on this task and just wanted you guys to be aware of what is going on.

Trustee Martin: I just have two things: First thing is that I would like to echo those sentiments by Trustee Carter as it pertains to Chief Booker and the Buena Vista Police Department, I for one knew that it would just be a matter of time when the Police Department would start doing things a little bit different and I want to commend you on your Code Enforcement initiative and secondly, I would just like to say if I am in order is that the Clerk’s Department be responsible for remaining the Board of the upcoming dates for the evaluation of our Township Manager. I think it May, so I think that we could put May 2006 to remind us.

Mr. Williams: Supervisor and Board of Trustees, I have one. You should have in front of you the Manager’s 2004/05 accomplishments that could assist you in the evaluation process.

ADJOURNMENT: Motioned by Martin by Parker to adjourn the meeting at 7:15 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
