- A resident inquired about the status of the checking account being hacked by Nigerian malware. All but $200,000+ was returned to the account. A claim was made to the insurance carrier. They are awaiting a response.
- A resident asked for the best way to contact trustees because her 2 emails were not answered. The answer was that the best way to contact them was via phone. All trustee’s phone numbers are on the web site.
- The same resident began a discussion about tornado sirens and the lack of them in SH. The repose was that people ignore them, they’re not effective over long distances and that the sirens don’t mean a tornado is coming – just to watch for one. There is also a high cost to maintaining the sirens. The township will investigate working with Macedonia dispatch to alert people via their cell phones, the same way police and fire do.
