Summary

Commissioners criticized lack of clear commitment from Wayne County on planned Meridian Road improvements and agreed to draft a letter inviting a county representative to the next meeting to explain timing and responsibilities; staff will work with the township supervisor to prepare the invitation.

Several commissioners pressed for a formal response from Wayne County about long-promised repairs on Meridian Road, saying residents expect work after a county bond program and that repeated requests for a schedule have gone unanswered.

Commissioners said the road is among the worst in the county and asked for a county official to attend a future meeting to explain why the work has not been scheduled. "I would like to propose that we invite and we'll send a letter that we invite somebody from the county to come to our next meeting," one commissioner said. Commissioners agreed staff should draft the invitation and elevate it through the township supervisor to the county.

Derek, township manager, said he has copied the county commissioner on prior correspondence and suggested working with the township supervisor to prepare a formal request. "We can work with Joe and get together with him," Derek said when commissioners asked for a stronger push.

No formal action to withhold funds or change the township's schedule was taken; the commission directed staff and the township supervisor to prepare a letter that requests a county representative attend a future meeting and to include prior correspondence as an attachment.
