The Chippewa Township Board of Supervisors met for their regular meeting on Wednesday night, approving a couple of measures in their short meeting.

One of them was the approval of Act 57–recently being approved by several municipalities and school boards–a state law that is required to be passed within three months of the state’s passing. “In October of this year, the state passed a law concerning the waiver for imposing any type of penalties on new buyers of property in case they don’t get their tax statements, that we waive all penalties that could be against them for tax collecting.” The board unanimously approved the implementing of Act 57.

The board also unanimously approved Amendments 15 & 16 for the Chippewa Trails homes, along with a lot line revision to build seven lots within the housing complex. “This created seven lots for single family dwellings with an amendment to their original plan,” stated Township Manager Mark Taylor. “It’s been reviewed; there were a few minor comments with distances. I’ve received a new plan and new review, so it’s ready to be approved also.”

Bills totaling $117,658.05 were paid by the board, and the financial report for October showed the township “in the black” with $3,549,342.91 in revenue as opposed to $2,718,843 in expenses for the General Fund. The next meeting for the Chippewa Township Board of Supervisors will be their Agenda Meeting on December 14 at 10:00 AM followed by their Regular Meeting on December 21 at 6:30 PM.
