Communications - Chairman Bronson said that he had contacted Jeff Purdy of LSL, regarding using the civil infraction method of ordinance enforcement. Mr. Purdy said all we had to do was revise the enforcement section of the ordinance book. He also said that the Township's general law ordinance would require a thorough going through. There were several sections within that book that stated the penalty and the enforcement right in the ordinance itself.

Public Comment - Vern Guindon requested that the Dundee Township Planning Commission consider an amendment to the Dundee Township Zoning Book. The suggested amendment would allow township residents to have 2 days of on-premise auctions per year. Mr. Guindon handed out a flyer to all commissioners present. He also gave an outline of his presentation to the secretary, of which a copy will accompany these minutes.
