Meetings are open to the public under Michigan's Open Meetings Act.

The purpose of these meetings is to conduct the business of the township. We request your cooperation so we can complete the business at hand. The board members are interested in what you have to say and encourage audience participation during the Public Comment sessions at the beginning and end of every meeting. During discussion of issues, the Supervisor may also encourage your feedback. These proceedings are being digitally recorded for the purpose of preparing the minutes, your cooperation is needed to assure clear recording.


Rules for Audience participation during the meeting:

  • Please keep to the topic and do not interject or detract from the subject.
  • Please raise your hand and wait to be called upon.
  • Direct your questions to the Board.
  • Do not interrupt or interject when someone else is speaking.
  • Please keep chit-chat to a whisper or step outside. The recording device picks up most sound in the room.
