The Oshtemo Charter Township Board meeting September 9, 2026, covers several key topics. The meeting begins with a presentation from the Audubon Society about the impact of artificial lighting on migratory birds, emphasizing the need for a 'Lights Out' initiative. This is followed by a discussion on non-motorized project funding, where the Board considers a new approach to contract construction work to improve efficiency. The Board also revisits a request for winter shelter funding from Kalamazoo County, ultimately deciding against contributing due to concerns about financial responsibility and the use of housing millage funds. Additionally, updates from the police department highlight proactive policing efforts, while various committee updates include discussions on the energy ordinance and the organization of township committees. Public comments include concerns about industrial lighting affecting wildlife and potential user fees for park maintenance. The meeting concludes with a closed session to discuss real estate matters.
