Summary
A motion to finish the Baker Ave culvert-lowering project and address liability concerns with the attorney failed on a 2-2 tie; the minutes do not record individual roll-call votes.
A proposal to complete a culvert-lowering project on Baker Ave failed on a 2-2 vote at the Oct. 1 Silver Creek Township Board meeting after supervisors raised liability concerns. Supervisor Ryan Nelson made the motion, Chairman Mike Helman seconded, but the motion was not carried.
Minutes record the 2-2 split but do not attribute individual yes/no votes to specific supervisors.
