This issue raised major concerns therefore action was taken to change the key lock to a combination lock. A letter was sent to the township requesting the aforementioned action to be taken ASAP. Mike’s thoughts are to entrust the combination to the local dispatchers, so they can release it in time of emergencies to the appropriate authorities.REMINDER: March minutes are still not available.
