Mr. Les hall was at the meeting with his concern about a political ad that ran in the Sandusky Register on November 6, 2006. He did not feel that the elected officials or appointed township employees should have endorsed a candidate running for a political office. He wanted to know if we had a policy about this type of thing. The trustees said we do not have a policy and did not plan on passing one.

Mr. Matt Humphrey was at the meeting about the Whites Landing property on Pleasant Ave. The trustees told him that the county said Pleasant Ave is not a dedicated road.
