Welcome
to July is here and the 4th has passed. I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th. There was nothing major undertaken at the June Board meeting. The same will be the case in July as only one matter will be before the Board at this time. I received the resignation from Allen and Wendy Davidson effective July 15, 2024, as they served as TWP’s groundskeeping tandem. They have been taking care of the grounds at the Twp Cemetery, Twp CSB, the Day Park and the south fire station. In addition, Allen has been our “handle anything” maintenance man throughout those years as well. They both also serve on our volunteer fire fighter team and will continue to serve the community in that capacity. Thank you, Al and Wendy, for your service and we wish you the best with your future endeavors. The preliminary agenda will be available July 11, 2024, after 2 PM. The full Board package will be available Saturday, July 13 after 2 PM A quick snapshot of our preliminary June YTD 2024 financials is below, and the complete financial report will be presented at the July Board meeting:
The loss was caused by the payment to the Antrim County Road Commission for the road maintenance to be performed this summer and the down payment on our next Ambulance purchase. Further details will be found in my monthly financial report to the Board at our next Board meeting.

May is here and summer can’t be far off . . . .
This is coming out later than usual as it has been a very busy month so far. The board approved at the April Board meeting the 2023 road improvement plans and the key areas are as follows: Old Mission Estates gravel roads will now be paved sometime during the summer; the upper portion of Barnes road will be repaired and repaved; a section of Lore Rd will be fixed and repaved; and Stone Circle will be resurfaced with a limestone mixture that should allow that road to hold up better for the next few years.
As mentioned in my last letter, I had been approached by Central Lake Village to see if we would be interested in sharing the cost of an additional police officer. I had an additional discussion this past week. Based on input from the Central Lake Village attorney, the original idea was not going to meet the legal test necessary for our involvement. The attorney provided some alternatives which will be explored at out Board meeting on May 16th. They had received a grant to provide for an officer in the school but had not been successful with getting someone on a part-time basis. Since part of our Township is within the Central Lake School district, our Township has a vested interest in ensuring the students in the Central Lake School district are properly protected.
Here is the snapshot of the financial results in April is located below.
