A Pat on the Back...And a Kick in the Butt
Well, hopefully you have had a nice summer...like me! It's taken me all summer to get back in the swing of things...including this blog...so here goes:
Random thoughts, old & new, no order of importance:
Apparently the audit has been finished for Elk Twp, although there is no record of it on the michigan.gov website under lake county. (hmmm...maybe we've moved)
There will be a hazardous waste removal/pick up day on Oct 9th, down in Baldwin again for 2010, same place as 2009.
Elk Twp now has an historical society and will host an informational talk by Sonny Miller on the Railroad history of this area...Tuesday, Sept 21st.
Apparently Linda VanDolsen and Marilyn VanVleet comprise a subcommittee looking into building a new and bigger twp building...they asked for, and received, permission (by a vote this time) to request bid proposals from Steve Riggs (who will canvas local contractors)...there is NO floor plan as of yet, and there are NO parameters to be shared with the public...VanDolsen mentioned that they will be going off a previous floor plan drawn by Peterson "with the counter." (apparently that means a kitchen-type counter somewhere)
Granger Road project is going forward as planned.
A new twp hall furnace will go in this week.
Lighting was put in at Turner Rd & 11 Mile Rd.
The Citizen's Advisory Committee was disbanded by a vote of the board after turning in a detailed map of land usage for our township, hence the title, "A Pat on the Back...And a Kick in the Butt." They were thanked for their help on this and previous projects, but the board does not believe they can assist the board in any way in the future.
What do you think?????
