County commissioners report park grants, traffic studies and a township repeal of a fire charge
Summary
Commissioners reported progress on a Shingle Lake park grant and a Bertha Lake Park grant, said Franklin Township repealed a fee for fire responses, and noted mixed local decisions on traffic studies and a library millage the township board rejected.
County commissioners used the meeting to report local township activity: grants advancing for parks, a repeal of a township fire charge and discussion of traffic studies and a library millage.
Speaker 2 reported that the county is moving forward with a park grant for Shingle Lake in Lincoln Township; bids have opened and officials expect to award a contract and start construction. Speaker 2 also said a grant was received for Bertha Lake Park.
Speaker 3 reported that Franklin Township completed the repeal of a "fire money charge" for residential fire responses after the required posting and legal steps. The speaker also described Hamilton Township’s recent "truck or treat" event and efforts to pursue traffic speed studies near a future park (citing a target of 35 mph in some areas), while Warefield declined a traffic study because of cost.
Speaker 3 also said a library millage proposal described in the transcript as "8.3 mill" was put before a township board and the motion to adopt it was defeated there; the transcript does not include further vote details. These items were presented as informational reports rather than as board action items during this meeting.
