Soldier Township board approves equipment purchases, concrete repair bid and millings sale
Summary
At its Oct. 14 meeting, Soldier Township approved multiple motions: purchase of retaining wall blocks (NTE $25,000), acceptance of a $13,000 concrete bid from Crow Built LLC, an audit engagement with Shipley CPA, and authorization to sell asphalt millings to residents at $10 per ton.
Soldier Township trustees approved a package of operational items at their Oct. 14 regular meeting that authorizes purchases and contracting for road and administrative needs.
Clerk Mike Mathes moved and Trustee Chad Gerhardt seconded approval of the consent agenda, including Sept. 9 minutes, accounts payable and September bank reconciliations. Later in the meeting, Road Superintendent John Tipton asked the board to approve buying retaining wall blocks to convert the existing haydite bin into two storage bins; Mathes moved to approve a purchase not to exceed $25,000 and Gerhardt seconded. The motion carried.
Mathes then moved to accept the 2025 audit engagement letter with Shipley CPA; Gerhardt seconded and the motion passed, authorizing the township to proceed with the audit engagement. Tipton reported three bids to replace two concrete water channels in the Graybeal subdivision and on Fielding Court; Crow Built LLC submitted the low bid of $13,000. Mathes moved to approve the Crow Built LLC bid for $13,000; Gerhardt seconded and the motion carried.
Separately, Tipton sought and received approval to sell asphalt millings to township residents at $10 per ton. The board approved the request (motion by Mathes, second by Gerhardt).
All board motions in the meeting were seconded and recorded as "motion carried" in the minutes; no roll-call tallies were included in the record. The actions clear the way for the road department to begin procurement and scheduling for the approved work.
