For correspondence the township received letters informing the board of two fire calls from Long Prairie Department in our area, the Grey Eagle fire meeting was not held in person due to COVID restrictions, reminders of filing for township offices, opening on Todd Co Board of adjustments, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency hearing on Feb. 4, and an anonymous letter with concerns around the township. The fishing boat landing will be improved this spring with help from the Swanville Sportsman Club. The board is not aware of grants to remove abandoned property and this board does not handle planning and zoning issues. America is a free country and the township would like all land owners and residents to keep their property in reasonable condition.
