6. PUBLIC COMMENTS:

There were no public comments from the audience, as there was no audience. Bernie Pelc

offered that he and Georgia Phelan were discussing the possibility of being more proactive

in our township, in directing commercial and multiple to certain areas of the township as

approach the City of Marine City and perhaps set up a meeting of both of our Planning

Commissions and discuss our future plans for development. All members agreed this

could be an avenue we should check into.
