• pointed out errors and clarified points
• residents may get another survey since the one already sent out was tainted.
• the township continues to meet with neighborhood groups
• continue to work on literature and introduced the map of the township noting parcels that are not conserved.
• several residents suggested the supervisors have another meeting to go over the facts
• a resident stated the township is doing a good job in educating the public but we need to quantify the feeling of township residents

OLD/NEW BUSINESS

Bob Mantell and Nancy Schulter of Hamorton Woods were present to ask if a speed hump could be placed on Hickory Hill Road near Deer Path. The Board stated that a consensus of their residents would have to be obtained before this can be done. However, Dave Allen will be asked to study this and get back to them.
