MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - The Meridian Township Board met on Feb. 3 and one important topic covered was sidewalk maintenance done in 2014 in and around the area.

Chief Engineer of the Meridian Township Engineering Division, Younes Ishraidi, informed the board about the work that has been done thus far, and the costs associated with those repairs as it relates to the summer tax season.

"We have the actual amounts and the assessment role that would need to be approved so we can go on the assessment role and be on the taxes for the summer taxes."

Ishraidi estimated that most maintenance done this year has been fairly low-cost, but stated that there were a portion of the repairs that will cost upwards of $500.
