The adult soccer league that has been discussed at recent Montague Township board meetings officially presented a proposal during Tuesday's meeting. Board members have expressed concerns about the new adult league impeding the youth leagues schedule and don’t want to risk ruining the township's relationship with the youth league. Representatives of the proposed adult league said they don’t want to cause any harm to anyone and they want to have a harmonious relationship with the youth league, with their ultimate goal providing a fun exercise opportunity for adults in the White Lake area.
To work with the youth league schedules, the adult league proposed playing its games in the outfield of the softball fields at the township park. Representatives said the league is open to playing wherever the township will allow them space. The league plans to play games on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. This year will be treated as a trial run to see the amount of interest from the community, and how much space and time will be needed next year. They are estimating a cap of 18 teams.
Recent board meetings have also seen discussions of what to do with this year's senior millage money. Township supervisor Jeff King noted that a portion of the City of Whitehall's millage money was earmarked to provide non-medical transportation for seniors. The township board is exploring a version of this idea, in addition to creating an information shadowbox for township announcements and program information to be placed outside the town hall. No final approvals were made.
The board voted to donate $500 to the White Lake fireworks committee for this year's July 4 show after comparing donation amounts with surrounding townships and cities.
