Re: Peaine Township Vision for the Future

Andy, When you put those motions back to back like that it doesn't reflect the greatest point to your favor. Especially if it was in the same meeting. A tiny issue and I don't care one way or the other as far as the raise or if you got the job. Cleaning is a good job to get these days at $25 an hour...

Re: New Survey on Consolidation

Jeff,

Can you open a result page after a couple of days so that we can see the progress like you did last time?

Thanks for doing this again!

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

The zoning laws would not change. They are based on the areas and were determined on what suited the needs of those areas at the time the laws were developed. Our Planning Boards would have to discuss some things but for the most part I believe they would be left as is. Property if requested by a pr...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Andy, I fully agree that there has been a huge attempt to get facts out and it wasn't my idea either but here I am gathering facts and trying to find answers. However, that is neither here nor there we are in the right now. If you have a question put it in a specific question format without generic ...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

I agree with you that the topic of growth is a great one. The townships do have one it is called the Master Plan. However, that plan has been devaluated by one of the townships saying that the surveys and information is invalid. Now mind you this was a very long process that included, taxpayers, res...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Bill Maybe I don't have this right? If my numbers are that wrong, what you are saying is that right now, if we combined the townships AS IS Today... Revenue - Expenses = a Loss? So this year and next and so forth we are running our townships at a negative figure? How can we be running these township...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Andy, Thank you for the input you could give. I just want combined REVENUE - EXPENSES = WHAT $ AMOUT DIFFERENCE for the year. That is calculable and if I am wrong in my numbers I would like to see it. Kathe, Websites and budgets from past. Look it up! If you get different #'s let me know. Sorry you ...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Andy! No you have not! Give me a number REVENUE - BUDGET = WHAT $ NUMBER? All this talk about part year blah blah is of no matter. Look at what it is for a year. We don't have that many changes. Guess it close to fact or don't give me any more answers. I am NOT looking at any proposed anything. Answ...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Andy, Don't tell me what I am doing or put me in the lump category that has formed please! This has nothing to do with anything but Revenue - Expenses = $ No hidden agenda! If we were to keep every expense as it is right now (both townships combined) what would we have left over to make a change? Th...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Bill and Andy, I appreciate your comments but now I have more questions for your input. If I can't simply put together these numbers or have done it wrong please answer this. I just went to basic math keeping the budget as is no changes. If you combine the yearly revenue from each township (which sh...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Thanks BMcCaw for your answer to my question. If they felt Peanie would grow to become a town on the South End it would have been a concern. I would assume now with no growth in that direction that it would not apply to current times. I would like to here what development plans Peaine has accomplish...
