Summary

Township Manager Chris Shannon reported completed chip-seal work, upcoming paving on Dixie Court and Mill Street, and progress on the Sheridan–Curtis roundabout funded largely by federal safety funds; Parks Director Bill Wheeler outlined summer events and a pre-application meeting with EGLE on a non-motorized trail connecting Davis Park and the Historic Bridge.

Township Manager Chris Shannon briefed the board on administrative and public‑works updates at the Aug. 5 meeting.

Shannon said roof repair projects were awarded (credit union building and Town Hall shed) and public works completed a chip-seal on Southfield. Paving on Dixie Court and Mill Street is scheduled to begin the following day. Work on the Sheridan and Curtis roundabout is in progress, is expected to last about eight weeks, and is being funded primarily with federal safety funds due to the intersection’s crash history. MDOT bridge projects in Bridgeport Township are expected to be completed by the end of August.

Parks & Recreation Director Bill Wheeler reported on recent and upcoming events: a Saginaw County Parks Playdate ("Foam Frenzy") that drew about 120 attendees, Movement Mondays and Walking Wednesdays programs, a Mission Volunteer Group event to re-stain park pavilions on Aug. 13, the Great Lakes Rendezvous Aug. 14–17, a Kreative Kickball event for individuals with special needs on Aug. 17, and registration for the Great Lakes Bay Miracle League season starting Sept. 6. Wheeler also said staff and engineer Spicer Group had a pre-application meeting with EGLE on a non-motorized trail project to complete a loop along Fort Road and through Davis Park connecting back to the Historic Bridge.

The board received the reports; staff will continue project coordination and provide updates as schedules firm up.
