Tonight's board meeting was quite brisk, not a whole lot to go over.
 
-There has been some discussion about changing the speed limits on some roads, but speed limits cannot be changed unless a Speed Study is conducted, and in most cases those generally don't benefit residents of the township a whole lot. Speed bumps are also more harmful to the roads than the benefit they provide. The best course of action would be to contact the police dept. and request them to monitor areas that are having issues w ppl speeding so they can better enforce the laws.
 
-Battle Creek Public schools millage proposal was passed
 
-Rachelle is still dealing with the bank transition. Winter Tax bills are also in the works and will be mailed out December 1st. All outstanding delinquent 2020 Real Property tax payments need to be paid to the treasurer, her office can be contacted at 269.781.0807 to inquire about any balance owed.
 
-Marshall recycling center is now open, you can check their website at www.calhouncountymi.gov/departments/recycling for hours of operation. Recycling is free for all Emmett Township residents. Please visit www.calhouncountymi.gov for your recycling card, or visit the township treasurer dept.
 
-Still some grand theft auto incidents, please make sure to not leave your keys in your car, lock the doors when you're not nearby. Even when at the gas station, don't leave the car running while you run inside, etc.

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...
