Summary

The April 2009 Beacon summarized March township administration, including a shared Transfer Station bookkeeper, new legal-services contracts, committee agenda and minutes guidelines, Board of Review complaints, emergency-generator research, and budget meetings. Peaine’s budget was approved without modification; St. James presented a balanced proposal.
