Member Discussion
The Planner nor the Engineer had anything to report this evening.
Chairman Pobuda attended the Township Board meeting on Monday and they were discussing the possibility of Genoa Township joining SELCRA. He stated we have approved all of these new subdivisions in the Township and we are not keeping track of which school the children will go to. How many will go to Howell, Brighton, Pinckney, Hartland? He feels the superintendents need to be more active. He knows that Mike Archinal sends notices to the superintendents when a new subdivision is being proposed in their district; however, we do not receive feedback from them. Commissioner Mortensen has concerns about Genoa Township joining something like this when the majority of the kids go to a different school district than will be represented. For example, most of the children go to Howell Schools, but Brighton Schools will be on the SELCRA Board.
Chairman Pobuda also stated he feels eventually we will need to talk about recreational areas for the residents of Genoa Township; parks, picnic areas, etc. There is nothing here currently. He feels we need to be open minded when these issues arise.
