Kris Olssen of the Huron River Watershed Council will present their report on Northfield Township.  This is a follow up to the May 20, 2015 presentation and Green Infrastructure workshop.   Her report may be viewed or downloaded below.  It is large, 5.2MB.

Also on this Agenda, a discussion of the P.C. Bylaws and the format of Meeting Minutes.    This discussion was carried over from the 8-5 meeting.   You may remember that P.C. Secretary Stanalajczo claimed the authority to demand that the Minutes be recorded in a spartan, commentary-free format.  He attempted to order Recording Secretary Lisa Lemble to produce Minutes in that format.  Twenty minutes of argument ensued.  The Bylaws are included in the meeting packet so I extracted them into a separate 72 KB document, which you can view or download at the bullet-pointed link below.

Nowhere in the 13 pages of Bylaws is P.C. Secretary Stanalajczo given the power to unilaterally dictate the format of Meeting Minutes.  The Bylaws do not prescribe a format for meeting Minutes.  Here are the P.C. Bylaws adopted March 19, 2014.
