Posting a question to a forum
First, select the discussion forums tab, and on the dropdown select Post Message. This will bring up a window similar to an email. It will show your name in the From line, automatically. Next will be the To line which is where you will select which group (supervisors, clerks, treasurers, managers etc.) you want to respond to your inquiry. You will only be able to send to those groups that you are subscribed to. The next line will allow you to cross post your question to another group that you feel may be helpful with your question. After this you can enter the subject of your inquiry. And below this will be an open area where you can include the text of your question.

JANUARY 2010
If you weren't able to make it to the Conference this year, you missed a very exciting time. The Opening Session keynote speaker was received very well by the attendees. Last evening, Par Plan put on a Mardi Gras evening with feathered masks and beads, street corner performers and three piece bands. The food was good, too.

A few days ago a friend of mine and I were talking about life and he said something to me that really got me thinking. It struck me as potentially a very important life lesson. He said “Amateurs complain, Professionals adjust”. I should take a step back and describe the situation. My friend is in his 70’s and he has been an avid bowler all of his life. There were times when he was good enough to enter bowling tournaments and every so often he would bowl well enough that he would earn his entry fee back. He was never going to earn a living bowling, but he had a real love for the game.

It sounded like a good idea: Modernize all the floodplain maps throughout the country and put them in digital format so that they can be easily accessed online. Unfortunately, like many good ideas, things can go wrong between conception and implementation. In this case, Michigan townships and their residents have to deal with new FEMA floodplain maps that are seriously inaccurate and now may have to pay to correct those mistakes. Read on to find how your township and your residents can deal with the new FEMA floodplain maps.

Michigan continues to experience a slow period in land development and construction. Townships are reporting extremely low levels of development and building activity again this year. Despite the economy and the slowdown in real estate development, the courts are deciding zoning litigation at a heavy pace. We dedicate this blog to the Michigan zoning and land use developments of interest to townships in the first half of 2009.
