## Discussion

- **Approval of bills paid**
  - **Summary:** Discussion regarding two bills for a car, which included four new tires and a tire sensor. The expense was recommended because the remaining funds on that line item were short of over $100, and taking the rest out of travel was necessary to use the car in Bloomington by the end of March without waiting until April or May.
  - **Evidence:** “Do we have an explanation for why there are two bills for the car? So we had to get four new tires and a tire sensor. It was recommended because I was just short of over $100 on that line item to take the rest out of travel because we're going to need to take the car to Bloomington the end of March, and I didn't want to wait and risk that until April or until May, until the next fiscal year.”

It's a township. It's an annual township meeting. ... I was not able to get Rick Hauser this year, so I've asked Shane Orlow to be our moderator and he's accepted.”
