1/3/13 - For the first time in more than a decade, the Green Oak Township Board will be taking a work retreat this month. Supervisor Mark St. Charles tells WHMI that the retreat is designed to encourage open communication on the board. St. Charles says work retreats are common among local municipalities, the Green Oak board has not had a retreat for at least 12 years. He says his own priorities focus mainly on things like road repair, trails, rivers, and the township website, but these might be very different from the priorities of the other board members. The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments will provide a moderator for the retreat, which will take place on January 12th. A location has not yet been determined, although SEMCOG may help with that as well. St. Charles says he would prefer for this to become an annual event to help encourage open communication on the board. (TD)
