VOTING RESULTS: UPDATE: There is continuing uncertainty as to whether the vote taken on August 6 was a legal ballot. At this time, authorities are still struggling to instruct us. We will keep you abreast of the developments as they happen. In the meanwhile, at the September CLT meeting with a 3-2 vote, the board decided not to pass a resolution to prohibit marijuana establishments within the township, and not to ask the petitioners to rescind their petition that motivated the August 6 election in the first place. The clerk is looking into whether the question can reappear on the March Michigan primary ballot. Another Township Issue up for a Vote November 5, 2019. CLT's constituency will be asked whether they wish to renew the current township millage. Click Here for exact wording of the resolution. Roads and More!

Pet owners and parents complained that the noise scared their dogs and woke their sleeping children. Now, a package of bills passed by the Legislature will provide relief. House Bills 5939 and 5941, sponsored by Rep. Jim Lilly (R-Park Twp.), and HB 5940, sponsored by Rep. John Chirkun (D-Roseville), are now Public Acts 633, 634 and 635 of 2018. Here are some of the highlights as they might pertain to Crystal Lake Township: READ THE NEW MICHIGAN FIREWORKS LAW - PDF |
