At the last meeing we approved the MAISD project in Oak Point Subdivision for the construction of 7 homes over the next 7 years by students at the school. This project was presented by Brian Peters one of the construction teachers at MAISD.
Information was presented on the Michigan Planners Annual Conference and their agenda was passed out.
Muskegon Parks and Recreation Committee presented it's report.
The committee with be applying for a grant to develop the tennis court at Riverside Park into a skate park and ice arena. This is a grant/contest from Ace Hardware. The finalist will be announced in September. Thank you to Judy Clark-Ochs for her request and interest in Riverside Park.
Parks and Rec also reported that Eastside Extravaganza installed playground animals and cranes for the kids from the proceeds of their event. Thnak you to them for their donation and a FUN event.
The plans for Musketawa Trail are still in progress and Stewart Peterson is following this.
This meeting was well attended and was the first chance for some of us to meet those people elected at the primary to run for the Township leadership positions. Since most of those people have no opposition in November they have already been elected with the exception of Dave Kieft who will be on the November ballot with Planning Commissioner Dick Nolan.
Several new faces will be joining the leadership of Muskegon Township and all seem eager to work together to move our Township forward. I found long ago that no matter how much we might all want the same thing our ideas on the way to get there might differ a lot. It is important that we have discussion, varying ideas and different view points, this can open up avenues to achieve our goals that might have been over looked. It is equally important that after discussion and decisions we all unite behind the idea and put the Township first. I have served on many boards and this looks to be one with strong leadership possibilities and I look forward to many lively discussions and much hand shaking and unity after the decisions are made.
John Hughes, Muskegon Township Trustee Elect
