The Columbia Township board voted to set public hearings for Monday, June 7th, and on Monday, June 21st, regarding the paving of the dirt portion of Eagle Point Drive. That section begins where Eagle Point Road and Eagle Point Drive intersect, and continues east to where the pavement resumes. Some of the residents in the area proposed a special assessment district be created. The property owners would be charged for the work over a three year period. The County would pick up part of the cost, and improve drainage.
Previously, hearings had been held, and a vote to establish the district appeared imminent. But it was discovered that one property owner, Eagle Point Marina, had been omitted. So, the process faces a do-over.

- The Township Board also approved conditional preliminary plans that would allow Boaters Choice to expand at their Brooklyn location. The expansion includes a larger showroom and service area, as well as more space for winter boat storage.
- The Board unanimously passed a financial resolution for fiscal year 2022. Among the sea of numbers are a couple of small revenue generators. The plan boosts fees from $50 to $60 per inspection. The administrative charge of $15 per permit will increase to $25 per permit on all building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and zoning compliance permits.
- When it comes sewers, the news is rarely simple. The Board heard options about the Cady Road station, which appears not to be needed anymore. But decommissioning it is complicated, and expensive.
The evening ended with a pleasant sunset, which is a clear reason why Clark Lake is famous for them.
