Public Comment – Residents Jean and Allen Budman brought up concerns they had regarding neighbors who have been target shooting near their property. The Budmans feel shooting guns so close to other residence is a safety issue. They also stated the loud shots can be very disruptive, and quite scary, to local residents. While the shooting is within legal rights, it is still concerning. The township will write a letter informing the neighbors of the concerns brought to our attention.
ADJOURN– Meeting adjourned.
