Summary

The minutes column summarizes two 2001 township meetings. Peaine Township considered whether to levy the full two mills for the Medical Center and to pursue a transportation tax. St. James Township approved an MDOT Transportation Enhancement grant application for a non-motorized trail along Donegal Bay Road, reviewed intergovernmental fire-authority planning, reappointed Larry Malloy to BITA, and approved 2001 millage figures.

Evidence limits

The Beacon’s summary is not the full approved minutes, legal contract, grant application, or millage resolution. It records proposals and reported motions, not all later outcomes.

Open questions

  • Was the MDOT Transportation Enhancement grant for the non-motorized trail along Donegal Bay Road awarded, and was the trail built?
  • Did Peaine Township levy the full two mills for the Medical Center, or pursue the transportation tax instead?

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
