Lake Township Voters

We wanted to make the voters of Lake Township aware of a recent incident that happened with one of our voters.

The voter was contacted by someone claiming they were verifying voter registrations. The caller told our voter they were no longer registered to vote and asked the voter for their personal information. This was a SCAM. When in doubt, your best course of action is to hang up and contact our office.

Should our office ever need to contact you for anything, we will always provide the information to you. We will then ask you to verify the information WE provide. You should never to be required to provide your personal information to anyone.

You may always check with our office should you have any questions concerning your voter registration. We will provide you with the information we have on file.

If you have any further questions, please email clerk@laketownship.net or call 989-856-4867 and leave a message. We’ll get back to you.

Thanks

DNR Says Risk of Wildfire "Very High"

Thumb Area Headlines

Ryan Arntz

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 13:31:14 EDT

 
Fire danger has been pushed "to a very high levels across the Lower Peninsula." The DNR is now warning Michiganders that they need to be especially careful while doing anything that could spark a wildfire. The Department says that nine out of ten wildfires are cause by humans, and yard debris burning is the top cause of those fires.

Don Kingler, a resource manager for the DNR says that because of the increased danger, burn permits are being restricted for a few days.

He further explained in a DNR press release that hot and dry weather increases the risk of wildfires, especially when it is windy, as it has been this week. Residents should consult Michigan.gov./BurnPermit before starting a fire.

FAQ

Do Township Board members receive extra compensation for special meetings?

Several people have questioned the burden of cost on the public for extra Board Meetings being called within the same month. The concern is the wages for the five (5) board members. Be at ease knowing they are salaried employees, and as such, receive no extra wages other than the annual wage set for their position.

Notice

HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE PICK-UP SURVEY

Diva Disposal has contacted the Lake Township Board of Trustees regarding a proposal they would like to offer for curbside trash pickup with recycling.  Residents would be charged for this service on their tax bill (vacant lots would not be included).   Lake Township currently offers trash drop off for a fee at the Township Transfer Station on Sand Road with free monthly recycling drop off and free drop off of grass clippings, leaves, and small brush.

The Board of Trustees would like to hear from residents as to whether they prefer maintaining the current drop off facility or would rather have curbside pickup at a rate to be determined by accepting bids from local sanitation services.  This would only be pursued if there is enough interest in this pickup service.

Submit your response via email to (info@laketownship.net) or by mail to P. O. Box 429 , Caseville , MI 48725 and include your Lake Township property address.
