The rope on the flag pole needs to be replaced and there is a hole where the old sign used to be that needs to have some dirt put in it.

Thetford Township presented a new format for the Library Agreement and this will be discussed next month when everyone has had a chance to compare it with the agreement already signed by Vienna Township and the City of Clio.
