Commissioners highlight lake, PFOS study, wildfire plan and local services in committee reports
Summary
Commissioners reported on Higgins Lake level issues and proposed mechanical harvesting, a $160,000 EGLE PFOS study and pipe-replacement grant, farmer’s market activity, wildfire protection plan public comment, and local recycling/trailer options for townships.
Commissioners used the committee‑report portion of the work session to update the board on multiple community items. Topics included Higgins Lake level control and a requested future discussion on mechanical harvesting of milfoil, an EGLE-funded study for PFOS and other water pollutants (a $160,000 grant), and state‑assisted replacement of galvanized pipes in eligible homes.
Other updates covered downtown cleanup at the Spruce Lodge site, crosswalk improvements, farmer’s market vendor counts, a community recognition for a multi‑agency response that saved a resident’s life, and a community wildfire protection plan being posted for public comment. Commissioners also discussed material-management options for smaller townships, including a proposal to provide three heavy dump trailers to select townships to accept scrap metal with possible reimbursement or voucher systems.
