Chippewa Township council met tonight and discussed multiple topics.  One of the first items of discussion was for the land development of a gym that would act as a private basketball training facility. The Council then discussed funding for police dash cams and body cameras with police Chief Hermick as well as a new ordinance that would decriminalize small amounts of marijuana possession within the township.  The ordinance would change possession penalties from a misdemeanor charge to a fine, similar to cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Other topics of discussion were for the hiring of a new social media specialist and a new recreation director for the township.  Audio from the meeting can be heard below.
