5/7/13 - Genoa Township is taking steps to possibly rejoin the Southeast Livingston County Recreation Authority. The township decided against taking part in SELCRA a few years ago due to portions of the contractual agreement they did not agree with. This included an obligation on the township to pay for facilities and land purchased by SELCRA if the organization was bought out or taken over by a governmental body. That portion of the agreement has since been amended to require the approval of any member communities involved before the purchase of such property. SELCRA has approached the municipality about becoming a member again, which would give Genoa Township residents a preferred customer rate when participating in the organizationâs programs. However, the township has continued to offer a voucher program that allows residents to be reimbursed for the difference between in and out-of-district rates for SELCRA programs. At Monday nightâs meeting, board members voted to seek more information regarding an official agreement with the organization before officially signing on. (SO/JM)
