The Independence Township Board of Trustees recently made new appointments to two lake boards. Township Trustee Larry Rosso will serve on the Waumegah Lake Board, replacing Trustee Dan Kelly, and Floyd Dobson has agreed to serve as a new township representative on the Walters Lake Board.
Recent state legislation replaces the Department of Environmental Quality’s representative with a second municipal representative on lake boards within a single municipality. The representative is to act as a communication point between township officials and the lake board.
