8/8/13 - Items for inclusion in the townshipâs strategic plan were discussed by the Green Oak Township Board at its regular meeting last night. A strategic plan was developed by the board several months ago as a way for the township to designate projects, events, and capital improvements to be accomplished on behalf of the citizens. Supervisor Mark St. Charles tells WHMI each member of the board brought forward elements for inclusion in the plan. He says the most important element being considered for the plan right now is the extension of the Lakeland Trail to Whitmore Lake Road, but other things like the utilization of township land are being considered as well. He brought up during the discussion the fact that the township has a budget surplus of $466,000 as well as a healthy fund balance. He suggested that the board should consider setting up a capital projects fund specifically earmarked for improvements to township facilities and events, like those to be included in the strategic plan. The possibility of a new police station was specifically mentioned as part of that discussion. (TD)
