Nelson Trane presented us with a bid for a maintenance agreement in the amount of $6375.00 per year for 3 years. Cindy recommended that the Library, Police and Township put the money aside, so in a few years we could just replace the system with a local company that would be able to maintain it. The average life of the system is 15 to 17 years and ours is 12 years old. Motion by Trustee Waldron, seconded by Treasurer Fisher to not sign the contract and put the money aside each year for replacement in the near future. Motion carried.
