Summary

At its August 9, 2000 meeting, the Peaine Township Board directed that its planner continue zoning and planning work rather than participate in a political study of merging the townships. The meeting also approved the private-road name Highland Lane, discussed airport repaving and ambulance-capable runway improvements, and exempted aviation-gas purchases from the ordinary bidding process.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper summary rather than the township’s full minutes. It records the board’s reported position and motions without establishing later merger or airport outcomes.
