Sylvan Township is forming a Water Committee. Township Supervisor Tom McKernan made the announcement at the Sylvan Township Board’s Aug.1 meeting.

The purpose is for the committee to come up with a plan to possibly reduce the 4.4 millage amount paid by Sylvan Township residents.

Board Trustee Kurt Koseck will head the committee, which is expected to have six members, most of whom have already volunteered.

One of the Sylvan Crossing owners took exception to the language in the consent judgment. Fink disagrees with him and would like to get it clarified in court.

Sylvan Township Treasurer Rod Branham says that Sylvan Crossing owes the township at least $15,000 a year.

Branham also told the board that he has received five proposals regarding bids to build a new the township website and with the board’s help, hopes to make a decision soon.
