ROULETTE TOWNSHIP SUPERVISORS
JULY REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
July 11, 2019
The Roulette Township Board of Supervisors held their monthly meeting on July 11, 2019 at the Roulette Township Building. Chairman of the Board, Jeremy Morey, called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance. Also present were Supervisors Brian Drabert and Jim Ostrom.
VISITORS ATTENDING:
•Present at the meeting were: Cody Lentz, William Grandin, Bill Stewart, David Neergard, Jan Baxter, Crystal Pelchy, Brian, Perry Hooftallen, Rick Morey, Merle Morey, Beth Sigafoes, Halie Kines, Dawn Kent, Marjorie Ruthenberg, David Morey, Scott Morey, and Chief Phelps.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
•Mr. Neergard asked when they were going to do something with Conable Ave.
•Bill Grandin brought in a drawing on where they want to place the picnic table for the library.
•Perry Hooftallen stated, they still need more 25 mile per hour speed limit signs on Burleson Ave.
•Crystal Pelchy was here on behalf of the letter she wrote regarding the speed limit on North St. and the children playing in the street.
•Dawn Kent asked about lowering the speed limit to 15 miles per hour and presented a petition with 42 signatures on it to lower the speed limit on North St. Supervisor Morey stated that he didn’t believe lowering the speed limit was the answer. Instead, Supervisor Morey would rather invest in more signs. Dawn would also like the properties in town cleaned up a little faster.
•David Morey wanted to know why the intersections have not been weeded and the park had not been mowed before the strip of land between Brophy Ave. & Railroad Ave. David also suggested that a schedule be made for the employees to follow and the supervisors make sure the work is getting done. There hasn’t been any work done on pot holes lately and they are just getting bigger. Supervisor Morey asked John Sena to mow the park the next morning. Supervisor Morey also asked about the trimming of Lucille Church’s bushes next to Fishing Creek Rd. Ext. Perry Hooftallen volunteered to talk to her.
•Jan Baxter talked about the flood plain and how it is going to ruin our town because no one can sell property on the north side of the river to Route 6. People cannot afford the flood insurance. She wanted to know if the supervisors were trying to do anything about it. Supervisor Morey assured her that they have been checking out different avenues but either the river has to recede some or it is going to be very costly to get anything done.
•Bill Stewart discussed his property again and how wet it is.
•Merle Morey let the supervisors know that there was a tree limb that needed taken care of.
POLICE REPORT:
•Chief Phelps gave a short report on statistics but couldn’t give a complete report because paperwork was with Deb Dehn, Sweden Township’s secretary. He also addressed the property issues and what has taken place and reminded everyone that it is a slow process but progress has been made. Chief Phelps also spoke to the residents about people on Megan’s Law and what rights the person on Megan’s Law has as far as harassment, etc. More discussion was held on the speed limit on North St.

What good would lowering the speed limit do? Some cars are still going down Main Street over 55. What's needed is better parenting. The last I knew, there is a skate park and a 4 acre field field on North Street.
