JUNE 25, 2001

AGENDA /
Unofficial Notes
1. Call to Order

2. Approval of Minutes, June 11, 2001, Regular Meeting.

3. Public Comment/Guests
a. Darlene Graham, Parks & Recreation Board - Chairperson
 
- On July 17 YSM will present the revised Park plan.
    - The board is trying to find room for the basketball court (formerly at the Talmage
      Park).  The board thinks it may fit in at the township building.
    - Charlie (Diffenderfer?), a member of the Parks board, has only attended one
      meeting this year.  The board will send him a letter requesting increased
      attendance or resignation.

b. Bucky - West Earl Water Department
 
- It was recently discovered that the method used to measure the township well
      water level was giving erroneous readings. It was thought that the depth to the
      water level was about 100 ft, but the actual depth is about 320 ft.  The well pump
      is located at 375 ft.  Bucky was concerned about the low level.  The level in 1984
      was about 100+ ft higher. The board commented that since even in recently dry years
      there were no problems with the well and now that we have another water source,
      there is time for Bucky to more closely track the water level to give a better
      indication how serious the situation is.
