Public Comment. Supervisor Simpson informed the Board that Lake County was interested in installing turn lanes at the entrance to the Campus. This project is not in the best interest of the Township because of the destruction to existing property and excessive cost to taxpayers. It will be discussed with the Lake County Board shortly.
Supervisor Simpson and Joe Doyle discussed a requirement from the state that would require us to provide lunches to our youth center participants during the summer. Doyle indicated it should not be too much of a problem since we have done it on a limited basis in the past at Park City. It would help keep center kids in the area and away from the playground. The Board appeared to be quite positive and supportive.
Supervisor Simpson also advised the Board that the Warren Road District Highway Commissioner's Annual Report and the Warren Road District Treasurer's Annual Report had been received.
