I called Mr. Lafnear with that information and suggested he contact Clayton Township Cemetery in Genesee County. 12.6.2023 Received a call from Caleb regarding a phone call he had received from Larry Stanley regarding placing a marker on his wife's grave. I explained to him Larry was given written permission to use a plot in the lot of Joyce Stander NE 79 E ó. 12.9.2023 Received a call from Scott Ware of the Ware Funeral Home in Midland (989-859-5566) regarding a question about placing a marker for Gaynol and Harold Marsh. The want to pl_aceth e marker on the lot of Walter and Symons (parents of Gaynol) in the N Section, lot 46-A. Walt is in #7 and Helen in #8. This lot only has four spaces as the West half was never plotted out due to being low ground. These lots along with the second lot from lot 46-A(45-A never deeded out), 44-A was made at the request of Alice Lucas and family when her husband Miles George Lucas died. Both families (Lucas and Symons) wanted to be in the front row next to the road. As that area was never platted out and the only location that satisfied their wish, those lots were deeded to Alice Lucas and Walter and Helen Symons. It is unknown if any pins were placed to mark the location of the lots which could make it difficult to locate the lots. As numbers 44, 45, and 46 were already deeded out the lots were given as 44-A, 45-A and 46-A. These lots are located to the North of the Veteran's Memorial.

Next, an opportunity for public comment was offered. Brad Lutz was in attendance to discuss his concern about junk cars and trailers that are being collected on a vacant lot on Melita Rd near the county line, as well as old trailers on LaGrant Rd. Byron mentioned the zoning ordinance would cover how to deal with the junk cars. However, it would be costly and a time-consuming process. If a lean is attached to a property that costs more than a piece of property is worth it may be difficult to ever collect. Byron also informed Mr. Lutz that the planning commission was currently trying to come up with a way to handle the old camper trailers in the township. Patti Berry also mentioned and angry call she received about garbage. The call was very inappropriate, and that resident will no longer receive trash pickup from the township. Byron Fogarasi presented the Supervisor’s Report. Byron discussed the changes that the road commission has proposed to the cost share program. Currently, the township receives $20,000 in discretionary funds and $25,000 in funds that must be matched by the township. The proposed program would be $5,000 in discretionary funds and $50,000 in funds to be matched by the township. Byron expressed his concern over the long-term ability of the township to match that amount of money since the township road millage only generates approximately $28,000. Next, Byron presented a resolution approving sale of real property. This resolution will allow the township clerk or supervisor to sign closing documents instead of the entire board needing to be present at closing. Next, Byron mentioned he had met with the drain commission to discuss the township loaning money to the county. The drain commission is deciding how much money they are going to borrow and will be in contact with the township. Finally, Byron mentioned March Board of Review will be held March 16th and March 18th. Robyn Fogarasi presented the Clerk’s Report.
