  • Dust Control/Chloride Program – Mell created a policy for the Board to review. Iskierka gave a history on how the Township became involved with coordinating the dust control program. He stated that a few years ago, some residents from different street addresses asked the Township Board if they would coordinate the dust control program if the residents collected the money and sent it to the Township. He stated that this way, dust control can be completed on the same day rather than each resident having dust control set up on multiple days. He stated that the Board agreed that they would coordinate the dust control policy. There was discussion about conditional use permits that three resorts have that involves dust control. Mell stated that his goal is to clarify what our current policy is going to be moving forward. This discussion has been tabled and it was decided to continue this discussion at a Special Board meeting. Mell asked Iskierka to write a draft policy and bring it to the Special Board meeting to be held on April 14, 2021 at 7:00 pm at Nessel Township Hall.
