Summary

The June 2003 Beaver Beacon reported May meetings of St. James and Peaine townships. The boards addressed fireworks safety, dust control, temporary EMS office space, the Yacht Dock project, Main Street parking, a bike-trail picnic area, and sewer corrections. Peaine also accepted a Bureau of Aeronautics hangar grant, funded fire-barn planning, reviewed zoning and the Master Plan survey, and discussed related township services.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper meeting synopsis, not complete minutes or proof that the grants, construction, parking changes, sewer work, or planning actions were completed.
