Police Chief Ryan Layman reported a recent act of vandalism on village property near the new Stop 40 in which "11 or 12 trees had been cut down on the Village Property." He said he issued an alert and asked residents to contact police if they had information about the incident.
Council members and department heads discussed steps to respond: the Council requested an appraisal from the Arborist, notification to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) because the trees are in a critical dune area, and contact with Chikaming Open Lands since the land is held in trust. No arrests or suspects were reported during the meeting.
