Summary

The October 2002 Beaver Beacon summarized Peaine Township’s September 11 meeting and St. James Township’s September 4 meeting. Topics included 2002 millage levies, public access to minutes, recreation and Partnership Project coordination, burning and curfew ordinances, a Harbor Light engineering study, the Donegal Bay Trail, and unresolved appointments connected to BITA.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper digest rather than the complete township minutes; motions, comments, and outcomes are preserved only to the extent reported in the issue.

Open questions

  • What did the Harbor Light engineering study find, and is it connected to the Donegal Bay Trail discussed at the same meeting?
  • Which appointments connected to BITA remained unresolved, and were they later filled?

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