During a recent board meeting in Waterford Township, community members were informed about the ongoing efforts to raise funds for breast cancer awareness. The speaker highlighted that this year marks the fifth anniversary of their fundraising initiative, with a goal set by the American Cancer Society at $25,100. As of the meeting, they anticipate surpassing $12,000, thanks to the community's generosity. The final tally will be announced at the next board meeting on November 1st.

Additionally, the meeting addressed the upcoming Veterans Day on November 11. Veterans are invited to enjoy a complimentary meal at Jerry's Coney Island, a tradition that has been upheld for 30 years. The offer is valid from 7 AM to 3 PM, emphasizing the community's appreciation for veterans' service.

The board also discussed amendments to the Board Meeting Code of Conduct. The proposed changes were developed after consultations with the township attorney and discussions with other townships in Oakland County. The aim is to standardize public comment procedures, which currently vary widely among different townships. The board unanimously voted in favor of adopting the amended code, reflecting a commitment to improving governance and community engagement.
