SUPERVISOR’S REPORT

Supervisor Parker: I have nothing, but one announcement and that is with the Board of Directors of STARS, Saginaw Transit Authority is pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the New Rosa Parks Transport Plaza. They’re going to have a celebration located at 615 Johnson, Monday, March 27, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. Please join us for a brief ceremony with light refreshments and to RSVP, the number is 907-4024 to RSVP by March 17, 2006. That’s all I have.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES REPORT

Trustee Martin: I just like to say two things. Firstly, the communication that we receive on for the Commission of Aging regarding volunteering for those couples of hours delivering meals to the senior citizens. I just wanted to ask the Board if anyone could make that date to please participate, because there’s a feeling that you get from doing something like this and it is a real pleasure and I would hope that you would participate. Number 2, I don’t want the Board to think that senior citizens are just ignoring being present for a significant thing such as awarding resolutions for obtaining the age of 80. However, being that a person that has worked with these people for the last 36 years, a lot of them do not drive at night and some of them are fooling you telling you that they don’t drive but you have to accept that. Sometime they have things that they have to do and they don’t want to be away from there wives and different things. But anyway, it’s a lot of problems, and just wanted to know that we are not ignoring your request for them to be present so that we could acknowledge. However, at the pancake breakfast that’s were we announce and read the proclamation in the midst of maybe 100 senior citizens or whatever, so anytime you want to you will always have a standing invitation. You know that you have so just come. The next pancake breakfast would be this Saturday and it starts at 9:30 in the morning and God willing, I am going to start on time and have the resolutions read to the people on time and if people come and participate.

Trustee Orange: I would like to apologize to the Board and especially to our Police Chief and Fire Chief for not inviting them to Victorious Believers Annual Prayer Breakfast cause whose who in the County generally attends and I don’t how they were overlooked cause we have every other entity with various and we will make sure that they are invited next time.

MANAGER’S REPORT

Mr. Williams: I have one. Just extend an invitation to our Public. To our first Public Safety Forum which will be at the BV Community Center on this coming Wednesday from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. We will discuss our 2.0 Millage Proposal request.

OLD BUSINESS

Treasurer Williams: I just wanted to comment about last week the Manager gave us a report on the Customer Complaint and I just wanted to say I think that you a doing a great job and also heard some public comments about the lights being put up this week. So, good job with the process.

ADJOURNMENT: Motioned by Martin second by Parker to adjourn the meeting at 7:25 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
