Summary

St. James Township’s March 28, 1987 meeting considered its 1987–88 budget, harbor water-quality monitoring, playground and sidewalk improvements, and law-enforcement support. When the meeting reconvened April 3, the board also discussed shoreline protection and deferred harbor-wake and parks-ordinance questions.

Evidence limits

The May Beaver Beacon prints minutes rather than the complete township budget, engineering, environmental, or boat-purchase records. The search-and-rescue boat was discussed but not approved for purchase in the reported minutes.
