TO THE PUBLIC John Zwerlein, 2501 Clivedon: A developer came to myself and my wife and wanted to put a sign on our yard at the corner, advertising the Knolls of Grass Lake. We want to make a plea not to have a sign placed there. When the development when in we specifically asked not to have a sign placed there and the developer promised no sign. Bob Hanvey- it’s your property and if you don’t want a sign on your property that’s up to you. Senator Valde Garcia, and what he’s doing for the community. He asked if any one in the audience had any questions. Horace Cole, 918 Francis, asked what’s
happening with the garbage coming from responded that because it’s an International trade they can’t do much about it, in fact some townships want it because it adds to their revenue. Mike Rogers is working on a bill to help with the garbage issue. Ken Tyler, CONSENT AGENDA Sue

it and be ready to vote on it by the next meeting. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Charlie Musson, 333 Triangle Lake Road : Mr. Musson commented that the cell tower is worthless. Why doesn’t the township buy it and then have control over it? Bob
