Discussion:
Working on setting up township meetings, putting information on Facebook, we did a community survey on how people want to be informed; newsletters, website and emails. A community meeting is scheduled here in October. We will be doing a mailing. We made a video to answer questions and get information out to the public and set up radio ads.
Would like to thank Itasca County and the Police Dept for being here on the first day of school. We take safety seriously. Will have a few coordinators to come into each meeting and discuss what is happening throughout the school year.
