Regular Meeting (Supervisor’s Report May 2025)

**Executive Summary: Supervisor’s Report – May 2025**

This report details the progress of various projects and initiatives within Leland Township during May 2025. Key areas include waste management, public facilities, and infrastructure improvements. The report highlights the successful placement of trash bins throughout the township, resulting in cost savings due to account consolidation efforts. Public bathrooms at the harbor have opened, with port-a-potties in place, and dock installation is nearing completion. Street painting projects, including crosswalk improvements near Leland Public School and parking markings on Reynolds Street, were also completed.

The report also addresses public works projects. Sidewalk construction on Grand Avenue was completed in early May, with harbor section construction commencing shortly after. Additionally, the report reveals that the Leland Cottonwood was deemed unsuitable for a carving project, and the parties involved were notified.

A significant portion of the report proposes a change in the township’s fiscal year from April 1-March 31 to July 1-June 30. The supervisor argues that this change could increase participation in township government, align budgeting with key events like the Board of Review, and offer new board members more time before the budget cycle begins. The supervisor seeks feedback from board members and residents regarding this proposed change.
