Schweikert explained the process for lot splits, application, flow chart, and re-divisions. The Road Commission will no longer sign off on land divisions until a road has been built. We are in agreement with them. The Assessor will report the lot splits to the board monthly.
At the recommendation of our attorney, Parmalee moved, second by Grinnell to give DeLau concrete 30 days to recommence work on the Cemetery Building and work must be completed within 20 days once started. If these terms are not completed, then Perry Township will re-bid the project and DeLau Concrete will be responsible for any additional costs incurred by the Township minus what is still owed.
