Mark Ceminsky--Builder

Mark Ceminsky has a Board seat until 2015.  He was formerly a member of the Planning Commission.

Mark Ceminsky

He is Pete's right hand man.

Mark's experience with construction comes in handy when reviewing building plans.  He owns and operates Beaver Creek Companies, an interior/exterior home remodeling and landscaping company.  You can even see some of his work on display at the Town Hall (counter extension).

Mark worked hard to increase the size of allowable accessory-use structures in the Township.  He had hoped to allow up to 25% of a person's lot to become an accessory building (wow, I own 120 acres--what would I do with a 30-acre building?  Indoor golf?).  He settled for the equivalent of 14, 2-car garages on a typical residential lot.

That's a lot of storage space!  Especially when you consider that the only thing allowed in these buldings is personal property for personal (not commercial or business) use.  What could a guy possibly want all that space for?

Mark is the current road supervisor.  He worked hard to get FEMA money to repair Township roads damaged in spring 2012 storms.  Hopefully the money can be used to cover some of his time as well because his second quarter time sheet amounted to nearly $4,000.  Other Board members' pay ranged from $450 to $950 for the Chair.  How could Mark make an order of magnitude more than any other Board member?  He charges $70 (plus mileage) for every inspection of the roads that he makes.  Pete said it was approved and discussed at the Reorganizational meeting.

A quick look at past payroll and our fee structure shows that this is a new policy.  How do you feel about Mark making a projected $12,000 per year?  Maybe its worth it for the job he is doing on the roads. It's your tax money.  Vote.
