 Wow, I think this was the shortest meeting I've ever attended. Not a whole lot to go over today.

Right from the start there were some individuals who came up for public comment. An older woman asking about weed $ (which was addressed at last month's meeting, but I will post the snippet again).


 She also voiced concern over the ease of access when using the township website, and her difficulty in quickly and easily finding information regarding the township meetings... This is something I've had issues with, too, and it makes it very difficult for older, less technologically inclined persons to navigate and find the info they're looking for. Hopefully we can find a solution for this in the future but for right now I think there's not much to be done about it.

The weed business across from the casino attended the meeting to inquire about getting a stoplight put up at the area right outside the casino as there have been several accidents there recently. Unfortunately that road is a state road and any issues would need to go to MDOT but they take their sweet time when addressing anything.

Some arrests have been made and Deb made a public announcement to commend the two officers who found some culprits responsible for some of the marijuana break-ins the last year.


 Jim Mead voting no again on things he doesn't know about... when questioned as to why he votes no, he claims that his legal counsel advised him to do so, so I imagine we can only expect more obstruction and holdups from him throughout the year. Dick Brown using his comment period to complain about his neighbors, again, though I'm not sure how it pertained to the township, but otherwise everybody behaved amicably.

sept 9th, 2021 Tonight's board meeting was quite the doozy, here is a rough summary of what was discussed that might apply to those interested. -Public comments regarding noise being made by construction on certain roads, as well as Zaharion automotive having an excess of cars on their lot that have just been sitting there? Both issues are being addressed. -Deb proposed a wage study to make sure our public servants are being paid appropriately in the event that some ppl are making more (or less) than their position would reckon. Tracy, Rachelle, Dick Brown and Jim Mead were all against it, citing a misuse of taxpayers dollars, but it doesn't use taxpayer money and instead is money awarded by the state to be used freely. -Sewer rates are going up because the state wants to make greater strides towards being ecofriendly. -This was the final zoom meeting, all meetings from now on will be in person (though there was a suggestion to do them via facebook live?) -Summer ta...

 September 8th 2022 Another meeting dragged out due to elected members failing to understand the cost of things or how townships operate. We enter the scene with Dick Brown complaining about the cost of construction on the front of the office, the removal of the awnings and how he, or the other trustees, had no say in the voting/approval of the process (as the cost was under $5k, which is the threshold for it being an action item on the monthly agenda). I don't believe Dick has any knowledge or understanding in regards to construction or the pricing thereof, but a lot of these items are simply things that can't or shouldn't wait for a once a month board meeting to be voted on (by individuals with no background knowledge regarding these subjects) before they can start working on them. There was also the complaint regarding the $195/mo ad spending paid for by the supervisor out of her budget, which is being done on a monthly trial basis and will end within the next few months...
