Social
- The board discussed event scheduling conflicts with the upcoming Chili cook-off, including high school Homecoming events. Board members decided it would be best to move the date of the Chili Cookoff and movie night to October 16. The event will begin at 5:00 p.m., and all entries must be entered by 5:30. The movie will follow at dusk.
- We will again ask residents to consider providing Halloween candy in a public health/safety-informed manner, as we did last year. Kyle will send out an email and social media post with tips.
Old business
- None
New business
- The board discussed replacing the sign at the Barchester entrance with a more updated version, perhaps composed of stone. Kyle is going to begin researching options.
General discussion
- A resident mentioned the concern of dogs chained in neighbors’ front yards, and the threat that poses to residents walking their dogs on the sidewalks.
- A resident contacted the board regarding a sunken manhole cover at Greenwood and Lilly. The resident has tried reaching out to Wayne County, without results. He has taken some steps to refill it himself.
- Following the meeting, the Board heard from Canton that the township will send a crew out to fill and seed the area.
The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
