CLAY TOWNSHIP - The Clay Township trustees selected a recipient for the township’s farmland lease agreement.
Stephan Bridenbaugh was selected to receive the agreement at $245 an acre.
The total cost of the lease agreement, according to township Trustee Vice President Dal Winner, is $5,390 for 22 acres. The agreement will be in effect for three years.
Winner stated he would make sure Bridenbaugh signs the agreement.
The trustees also passed a resolution that will add the necessary language to a Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) act resolution the trustees had planned to adopt at an earlier meeting.
According to trustee Steve Woolf, legal counsel recommended that the language associated with the earlier resolution be included before adopting it.
Winner said the trustees should make an attempt to have all necessary language included before adopting a resolution.
“Hopefully going forward it would make it better if we didn’t pass resolutions without the language unless it is an emergency. It’s not any fun to go back and try to fix those things, but I think we’re squared away now,” Winner said.
The trustees also adopted an Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) request form associated with Covid-19.
Winner said the EPSLA sick leave request form was created because the township did not have one for Covid-19 illness.
“We are required to provide emergency sick leave as it relates to coronavirus, but we’ve never had any kind of request form for that,” Winner said.
Winner said this for covers requests for leave if the illness is associated with Covid-19.
“The form is valid through Dec. 31 of this year unless it is extended,” Winner said. “If it isn’t extended, the form will cease to exist at that point.”
In other matters, the trustees voted to transfer a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe from the police department to the Cemetery and Road Department.
