Meeting Summary:
Jill Grimm, representing the Twin Lakes Association, relayed the following information:
The association appreciates notification of the dry hydrant testing and will plow the private lagoon area to make sure the hydrant there is provided if needed. Also, she reported there was confusion about the signage related to leaf pick-up; residents assumed all pick-up would be on Sunday rather than the week beginning Sunday.
A resident of Hudson Rd. asked for more information about phase V of Hudson Rd. changes. Mr. Swan replied that he will contact the engineer's office and relay any information received to the resident and also put it on the township website.
Chief Myers reported that the dry hydrant testing is in progress and going well.
