Board inks drain deal with county, hires full-time firefighters
More firefighters hired, promoted BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
MACOMB TOWNSHIP — The Macomb Township Board of Trustees approved
a $20,000 payment to the Macomb County Department of Public Works for drain maintenance services at the board’s Sept. 24 meeting. The payment sees through the township’s existing relationship with the county public works department, finishing its an-
nual $30,000 match for drain maintenance services. The first $10,000 was paid to the county in January. The county maintains drains passing through the township under the terms of the agreement, with work having already been done along the Middle Branch of the Clinton River.
“The work was done on the Middle Branch (of the Clinton River) down by Hall Road where the overpass is,” Township Supervisor Frank Viviano said. “There was a significant amount of debris down there that the drain office cleared out.” See TRUSTEES on page 8A
