I usually don't include items in the beginning of the meetings like roll call, adoption of agenda etc... in my blog posts. One of the items they do at the beginning of every meeting is approve the meeting minutes from the previous month. Tonight they approved the meeting minutes from the June 4th meeting. If you look at the meeting minutes posted on the township's website, it always shows the "unapproved" meeting minutes. One thing I noticed from the June 4th meeting minutes posted online is that it says there were no public comments, but on my video for that meeting there was a woman that spoke for almost 5 minutes about the flooding problem in the area where she lives. I don't know how important it is for the minutes to accurately record the meetings. I have to assume that their "experienced" old/new township clerk Lee Carpenter did get that corrected before they voted to approve those minutes tonight.
Two residents spoke during the public comment period during tonight's meeting. When the second speaker was up there all I could think is he is not a Libertarian that believes in limiting government control and civil liberties. BTW, if you live on Towerline Road, you better get your yards in tip top shape!
Township Manager Rose Licht gives lots of updates & information during the comment period. One of the items she talked about was the letter sent out with the summer tax bills. The letter talks about the location where they are now and how it does not serve their needs, and what possible plans they are looking at for the future. The letter is posted at the end of this blog post. They will be holding public hearings at some point in the future when they have more plan options. I do know that they are paying $2,500.00 per month on a land contract for the location to Saginaw Valley United Pentecostal church. They also voted on June 4th to pay $3,000.00 for tree removal at their current location. They already have money invested into this location. I will post any updates on any public meetings they may hold in the future on this subject.
It is mentioned during the comments at the end of the meeting about signing up for their email list to receive updates and important information for the township residents. I keep mentioning this over and over hoping to get residents to sign up and stay informed. You can also check their website to keep updated on the latest information.
One bit of important information though they have not been forthcoming with is about how on April 2nd, 2019, the board voted to bring back the formerly recalled & rejected township clerk Lee Carpenter as the new township clerk. They haven't sent out that notice by email, or posted the news on their website; and it has been over 90 days now since they brought him back. It has also been over 54 days now since they removed the profile page from their website for the township clerk. It doesn't appear they plan on putting one back up??? That doesn't seem like information they are trying to share with the public does it? Unless the public was to read the board meeting minutes or read my blog & Facebook page, they would have no way of knowing that this township government brought back the man the voters threw out of office.
