REPORT FROM CHAIRMAN:

PUBLIC COMMENTS: Several residents from Northgate Village on the S.
end of Township spoke and said they would really appreciate the Board
adopting a Comprehensive Brake Ordinance; they live next to Hwy. S and
the roundabout and are concerned if the sand plant goes in that there
will be hundreds of trucks per day and this ordinance would help
somewhat with noise. Bruce Hayhoe developed the Village and asked who
would enforce this ordinance, Mike said the county and the state would
post signs and enforce. Randy Woodruff wanted it posted in certain
areas of the town because he and family do use their Jake brake quite
often. Steve felt it should be township wide. The rest of the board
agreed.
A couple of residents asked if amending the Burning Ordinance would
stop people from hauling in garbage and burning it? Mike said having
it in the ordinance will make it possible to write citations and
enforce.

was convicted. She said Firemen are supposed to help people not
intentionally harm them; he should not be on the Fire dept.

Board has not removed him from
The dept. She is very concerned and would like the Board to do
something about him.
