Board approves purchase of replacement trash-can lid amid asset-transfer questions

As the board debated dissolution and asset transfers, members approved purchasing a replacement lid for a DDA-funded trash receptacle to avoid leaving downtown without a bin. The motion — to purchase a single lid — was seconded and carried after brief discussion about cost and ownership.

Members discussed whether the trash cans are DDA property and would technically transfer to the township if the DDA dissolves. One member characterized an extended conversation about a single lid as unnecessary and argued the board should act quickly to ensure bins remain functional. The motion passed with recorded assent; the transcript indicates at least two members opposed but the motion carried.
