*The board accepted the low bid (among five bidders) from Bauerly Brothers for the township's bituminous resurfacing and overlay project this summer. The township plans overlays on 160th Street, Bluebird Street, Cedardale Road, and Copperfield Road and new bituminous surfaces for Cyrilla Beach Road (a joint road with Eden Lake Township), the new extension of Bluebird Street, and 170th Street. Bauerly's low bid was for $297,823.

*The board approved a line road agreement with Eden Lake Township for Cyrilla Beach Road, which is located in Paynesville Township but serves a number of residents of Eden Lake Township on the Cyrilla Beach Peninsula. The agreement calls for the two townships to split maintenance costs 50-50.

*The board reported a line road agreement with Roseville Township for Roseville Road, signed during a joint meeting with the Roseville Township Board of Supervisors at their meeting on Thursday, May 11.

*The board approved the annexation of 20.39 acres for Keith and Mary Dombrovski and James and Mary Meyer with the addition of an addendum that calls for all the taxes on parcels not to be developed to stay in the township until they are developed. The standard agreement gives two years for city services (sewer and water) to be installed. Most annexations, though, have outlots where services may not be needed for years. The township wants taxes from these portions of annexations to return to their coffers until the land is actually developed.
