The regular meeting of the Cleveland Township Board on May 13, 2025, commenced with Supervisor Tim Stein calling the session to order at 7 pm. All board members were present, and the meeting proceeded with the approval of the corrected minutes from the April 8, 2025 meeting, which included updates to the hall rental fee schedule. The treasurer’s report indicated a balance of $593,916.87 as of April 30, 2025, after accounting for disbursements and revenue. The planning commission reported on a recent public hearing concerning a proposed zoning amendment and scheduled another hearing for a housing objective pilot program. Additionally, the zoning administrator noted the issuance of land use permits and plans to send out violation letters for short-term rental (STR) permits.
Reports from various township officials highlighted ongoing activities and upcoming projects. The maintenance report detailed preparations for summer, including the opening of the cemetery water and boat launch, and the installation of new dock bumpers and a float ring. The assessor reported that the township was selected for a PA660 audit, expressing confidence in a successful outcome due to thorough tax role closure during the March Board of Review. Old business included updates on the Cedar Fire and Rescue Department, with ongoing reviews of interlocal agreements and plans for a second station. New business focused on the approval of the 2025 MUWM Insurance Package, acknowledging increased costs due to inflation and rising property and liability rates.
Public comments and correspondence addressed several community concerns. Cookie Currier raised an issue about being unable to attend a special planning commission hearing due to a locked door, prompting a response from Todd Nowak. Discussions also touched on the enforcement of STR permits and potential fines. Gwen Alligier suggested considering a county-wide road mileage, though it was clarified that such initiatives must be township-specific. The meeting concluded with the approval of bill payments and a motion to adjourn at 7:32 pm.
