DATE) PUBLIC PARTICIPATION -Donita Bartoszek had a couple questions: what is the status on the drainage projects and road repairs throughout the community? The village is preparing the budget for the next fiscal year and embarking on a planning process to prioritize road and drainage projects. The board understands its importance to all the residents and is working to set money aside for this. Is there any plans to do a sewer project out in Bergman? The comprehensive planning meeting on March 11 th discussed allot of the future of Big Rock and what folks would like to see. Honestly it appears that it will be quite some time before sanitary sewer system plans will be looked at for this area and will most likely require more development. -Joella Lentz asked that the historical society receive a waiver of any fees for the new sign that is going to be erected. The board agreed to this for another non for profit community entity.
-Laureen & John Grossman who just bought the property next to the Big Rock Township building were inquiring on raising chickens for eggs in their backyard. They would like approx. 6 chickens for spring here. The board said they would consider this once some more information was brought to the table with regard to how other municipalities handle this. It was encouraged for the resident to provide some ordinances from our surroundings neighbors and they would look into/review this for Laureen & John.
