Township Manager Melissa Wehr noted the Halloween trick or treat will be Oct. 30.<\/p>\n

Wehr noted the autumn leaf collection is expected to begin Nov. 2. She added that a tree at Canal Park fell and broke a camera and damaged wires that affected a second camera. The damage, according to insurance, is about $29,000. The deductible for the township is $250.<\/p>\n
Council Vice President Robert Heimbecker requested the damage be corrected immediately for safety reasons and get the payment from the insurance company later. The motion passed unanimously.<\/p>\n
