During Open Forum resident Rob Alward inquired about the timeline for Baker Avenue reconstruction and suggested paving Arnold Circle at the same time; minutes note that residents would need to vote at the annual meeting to return Arnold Circle to township maintenance before such paving could proceed. The minutes record no formal decisions on that request during this meeting.
