4/17/13 - Tyrone residents will be asked to fill out a survey on the effectiveness of the township government this summer. Clerk Keith Kremer tells WHMI the relatively-new township board is seeking public input on how the municipality should be run. The survey will ask residents for feedback on township priorities, the effectiveness of the government, areas in need of improvement, and how tax dollars should be spent. The boardâs most recent public survey took place about four years ago. The previous survey cost about $6,000, while the new survey will only cost about $3,000. This is in part due to the decision of the board to include the survey with the summer tax mailing in July, which will save on postage and labor. The new survey will also get more specific responses on certain topics, such as public safety, compared to the previous survey. Tyrone and Hartland recently allowed a decades-old contract for dedicated sheriff patrols to expire and new options are being sought. The data from the survey will be professionally analyzed and presented to the board. (TD)
