MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - At the Jan. 20 meeting, the Township Board approved the update to the Township Emergency Management Plan, which details all of the guidelines for what to do in case of an emergency.

"I'd like to say that this is a well thought out plan, it meets all the guidelines for emergency management, and I think we should vote and adopt this," said Trustee Milton Scales.

Besides a few grammatical suggestions, as well as a conversation on the increased population of the Township, the discussion was short and the update was approved with a 6-1 vote.
