Another agenda item was the discussion around the recent note and bond sale, which resulted in a favorable financial outcome for the township. Eight bids were received for bonds and five for notes, with interest rates lower than expected. This successful financial maneuver is projected to save the township approximately a million dollars over the bond’s duration, attributed to a strong bond rating and prudent financial planning.

The meeting also included updates on local infrastructure and community activities. The council addressed the progress of the Strug Lane ordinance, which is set for adoption at the next council meeting. This ordinance aims to improve safety and traffic conditions, pending further discussion and analysis.

Additionally, the council members extended congratulations to newly elected and re-elected officials, recognizing their service and contributions to the township. There was also an acknowledgment of community events, such as the successful rabies clinic and the fall festival, which were well-attended and appreciated by residents.

The police department reported on their activities for October. The department’s professionalism in managing the situation and ensuring public safety was commended.

Lastly, the parks department is preparing for winter, with updates on the removal and replacement of playground equipment at Delmar Park. The efforts of the parks department in maintaining and improving community spaces were acknowledged, particularly their assistance with community projects like flag installations.
