Mary Moylen, Chair of the Gladwin County Republican Party was present to discuss petitions being circulated across the state that could possibly be on the ballot in 2026.

Fireboard minutes in print. Supervisor reported that Dave Petterich called regarding repairing Old M-30 with paving and was wondering if Gladwin Township would be interested in sharing the cost.

Jodie Klamer commented on requesting amish signs to be put up. The road commission does not think that would be the answer to the accidents. The road commission is willing to have a joint meeting with the amish and the township to discuss this safety concern.
