Executive Summary:

Firefighter CBA Negotiations: With the fire chief back from vacation, the township is set to return to the negotiating table for the firefighter collective bargaining agreement (CBA). A tentative agreement is expected to be available to the board later this month.

Township Budgets: Budget meetings are progressing well, with the harbor, sewer, and fire department budgets expected to be completed this week. The final wrap-up of the general budget will be done in the next couple of weeks, in preparation for the annual meeting on March 29.

Bridge Sidewalk Issue: The township has been in communication with the road commission and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) regarding the accumulation of plowed snow on the sidewalk of the Leland bridge. While the road clearing on Route 22 is the responsibility of the state, the compacted snow and debris on the bridge sidewalk pose a challenge. MDOT has concluded that removing the compacted snow could risk damage to the historic concrete railing, which is protected by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The consensus is to leave the compacted snow to thaw, rather than risk damage to the bridge.
