3. Old Business
There seems to be some confusion as to what the pay increase was that occurred at the last
Annual meeting. This needs to be clarified or changed if what got passed was not
what was intended.
Verbiage from last annual meeting regarding a motion for increased pay to township officials.
"B. Lori Halverson made a motion: "Pay increase for all elected or appointed Apple Creek Township
officials should receive a minimum of $100.00/day for each day worked on behalf of the township.
Maximum annual pay, not to exceed $4,000.00 per calendar year."
Jamie Vetsch 2nd the motion.
Moderator called for vote - passed unanimously. " -- 2024 Annual Meeting Minutes
Jamie Vetsch indicated this is not what she voted for and suggested it be amended. No amendment
was provided.
Lori Halverson had the intent to only have a pay increase for the regular meetings. Outside of the
meeting the regular pay of $20/hr would still be the pay.
Treasurer Rand Strom understood it this way also.
Supervisor Reis made a motion to affirm the original motion with the idea that everyone understands
its meaning.
Supervisor Sicble 2nd the motion.
Vote: Dan - Yes, Gaylen - Yes, Monte - Yes
Motion affirmed.
4. New Business
Jim Heisler - Mckinley township Road Supervisor introduced himself and provided some information on
load limits and vehicle restrictions that can be applied to township roads, specifically subdivision roads.
An example of the signage would be "Commercial vehicles prohibited, unless exempt. Apple Creek
Township". It was also discussed that a special hearing would need to be held to modify the ordinances
to account for the vehicle restrictions. Jim mentioned that their lawyer (Dave Bliss) is especially good
with road ordinances and recommended his services.
Supervisor Reis made a motion that he would reach out to Dave Bliss for the purpose of calling a
special public hear to discuss restricting commercial truck traffic on certain township roads.
Supervisor 2nd the motion
Vote: Dan - Yes, Gaylen - Yes, Monte - Yes
Motion approved.
Additionally, Gaylen is going to contact the attorney about the 22nd Ave name problem and the city of
Lincoln annexing section 17.
Charlie Bullinger on 80th and Lincoln Rd is wanting to move on a "ready made" storage building on his
property. The board advised him that the building does not require a permit because it is not a permanent
structure.
There was further discussion on how to manage the connex boxes or shipping containers. Terry Woehl

Terry and the Clerk will get something posted on the website asking for volunteers for this panel.
