I have just spoken to Rick Harland who told me that the meeting April 25 is
a planning council meeting at which time a decision on the marina project
may or may not be made. Township officials have 90 days from the public
meeting on March 28 to make a decision and the Township board may or may not
be required to vote on the planning council's recommendation. The planning
council may also meet prior to the April 25 meeting to consider additional
information presented by Mr. Lapworth relating to the proposed marina. The
planning council may accept, accept with conditions, or reject The members
of the planning council include:Jerry Gosnell, James Cox, James Robson,
JoAnn Michal, and Mark Dedenbach. Mr. Robson has not attended either public
meeting and is moving downstate. The township board may have to vote on the
planning council's recommendation. Those members include Rick
Harland,Supervisor, Monica Ashton,clerk, Cindy Olson,treasurer, and trustees
Dennis Long, Dwayne Brooks, Jeri Selthoffer and JoAnn Michal. It will be
very important for as many people as possible to attend the scheduled
meeting on April 25, 2018. Mr. Harland tells me that
he is preparing a packet of materials to present to the township attorney to
advise him of the defendability of township's position.
