The Annual Township Meeting adopted next year's budget on Tuesday evening after an hour and a quarter of discussion, most of it about the road machinery account.
Samuel Kirke was returned as Moderator by voice vote, without opposition, for his ninth year. The meeting also voted to repair the Township Offices' front steps and to buy a new sander for Roads & Grounds.
