Discussion was held on the history and the reasoning behind the current
Lemon Drain project. A Board of
Determination was held a couple of years ago and it was decided the project was
necessary. The estimated cost of the
drain project is $1,081,260 and the Township’s expected At- Large portion,
which is typically 15% of the project, would be about $162,189. The Drain Commission has requested
confirmation, prior to their funding meeting Friday, June 7th, on
whether the Township would be willing to prepay all or a portion of the
At-Large amount. If the Township prepays,
it will bring the funding portion of the project under a million dollars. This
would result in a reduction in fees associated with obtaining financing, lower
interest rates and in turn reduces the drain assessment cost to our
residents. Also, it would save the
Township approximately $8000 in interest fees.
Slucter moved and Myers seconded to prepay the 2024 Windsor Drain At-Large
on the Lemon Drain project for an amount up to $165,000 and amend the Budget
accordingly. Motion carried unanimously.
With no further business, Supervisor
Slucter adjourned the Special Meeting at 6:17 pm.
