PUBLIC WORKS 08-10-09
The Board considered the approval of Resolution No 09-26 providing for the installation of a gate on N900 Road where the public road ends.

If approved, a key shall be provided to the Willow Springs Township Trustee, Willow Springs Fire Department, Douglas County Sheriff, any affected landowner requiring access to his/her property, and any other citizen upon proof of legitimate need for access.
