constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of human environment and accordingly the Charter Township of Canton

diction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process

and related laws and authorities and allows the Charter Township of Canton to use Program funds.

following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the

Charter Township of Canton has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR
part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or under-
taken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency

ronmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec.
58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD at McNamara Federal Building at 477 Michigan Avenue, Detroit MI 48226. Potential

Residents in Northville
Township may not be aware that
they receive an extra benefit
from the highly-rated fire protec-
tion services in the community.
Homeowners insurance rates
which are factored, inpart, on the
Insurance Services Office classi-
fication of local fire departments,
are markedly lower in the town-
ship due to the fire department
rating.
The Northville Township Fire
Department is rated in the top 1
percent of fire departments in
the State of Michigan according
to the latest independent classifi-
cation. There are only 29 depart-
ments in the state that rate a 3 on
a 10-point scale systemamong the
2,017 fire departments across the
state, according to a prepared
statement from township fire offi-
cials.
The Insurance Services Office
(ISO) is an advisory organization
that collects information useful to
the insurance industry. Through
the
Public
Protection
Classification (PPC™) program,
ISO representatives evaluate
municipal fire-protection efforts
in communities throughout the
United States. Community
investment in fire mitigation is a
proven and reliable predictor of
future fire losses, officials said.
Categories evaluated in deter-
mining a community rating
include the emergency communi-
cations system along with fire
department equipment, staffing,
training, and geographic deploy-
ment of fire companies, water
supply system and community
efforts to reduce the risk of fire.
Community efforts include fire
prevention codes and enforce-
ment, public fire safety educa-
tion, and fire investigation pro-
grams, officials said.
Residents of Northville
Township benefit froma high ISO
rating, reducing the cost of home
owner's insurance premiums
along with receiving high-quality
fire department services. The
program also provides fire
departments with a benchmark,
and is used by many departments
as a valuable tool when planning,
budgeting and justifying fire pro-
tection improvements.
Northville Township Director
of Public Safety Todd Mutchler
said that the township fire
department is committed to pro-
viding exceptional fire and
Advanced Life Support services
to the community.
“Our fire department has a
philosophy of continuous
improvement regarding service
delivery,”Mutchler said.
