At the February meeting the conveyance of easement for right of way from Presque Isle Electric and Gas was tabled until now. Supervisor Jacobson reported that they never pay a lease for the land and our attorney ok’d the wording of the easement conditions. After much discussion of the placement of the building a motion was made by Treasurer Fisher not approve the location and propose them to place the line along the most southerly line with the building in the most southwest corner or along the most northerly line with the building in the most northwest corner. They could place the line on township property off of Onaway Road instead of the road right of way. A roll call vote was taken, Rohr, yes, Hahn, no, Jacobson, yes, Fisher, yes, Waldron, yes. Motion carried 4 yeas, 1 nay. Supervisor Jacobson to contact PIE & G on this decision.
