4                                                 Daniel J. Acciavatti, Supervisor
                                          In addition to serving as the Township’s legal agent and Secretary to
                                          the Assessing Board of Review, the Township Supervisor is responsible for
                                          moderating board meetings, developing the township budget,
                                          recommending members to the various boards and commissions, and
                                          managing the day-to-day operations of the Township.

                      Chesterfield Community,

                             As we begin reflecting on 2020, it makes me proud of our staff members who continued to
                      move Chesterfield Township forward during this unprecedented time. Your Chesterfield Township team
                      continues to offer the same level of services that our residents expect of us by streamlining new
                      processes and creating new programs within our community. The efforts put forth by all of our
                      members do not go unnoticed and are gratefully appreciated.

                              The year 2020 saw a great many project beginnings and project completions. The Webber
                      Paddle Park is now complete and offers our residents a safe place to launch their kayaks and paddle
                      boards along the Salt River corridor. Additionally, we’ve completed several projects inside the
                      Township Municipal Offices including a barrier-free front counter and modernized restrooms near the
                      Senior Center.

                               Brandenburg Park will remain closed through Spring 2021 as our Shoreline Restoration Project is in
                      full swing. It will soften the natural shoreline and create native habitats that will increase the fish
                      population in Lake St. Clair. The acquisition of property at the end of Hooker Road was purchased with
                      the intent of becoming the Salt River Nature Center. This investment is another step forward in
                      preserving the natural resources in Chesterfield Township. The land was purchased with the help of Six
                      Rivers Land Conservancy, First State Bank, and the recently awarded Michigan Natural Resources Trust
                      Fund Grant. Its preservation is vital in protecting our natural resources and will help connect our unique
                      waterways here in Chesterfield.

                             As we continue moving forward in the year ahead, I wish everyone a safe and prosperous 2021.

                   Recreation for all: Youth, Adults, & Seniors
                      While we may be apart for now, the Chesterfield Leisure Services Department is always thinking
                   about our friends in the community and the day when we can safely come together again. For the
                   foreseeable future, the Chesterfield Township Senior Center will remain closed for “walk-in” activities.
                   Be sure to like us on Facebook at Chesterfield Township Senior Center and/or Chesterfield Township
                   Parks and Recreation to avoid missing out on the latest news. “Pop-up” programs and activities
                   are the new way of doing things based on changing guidelines surrounding the unpredictability
                   of COVID-19. Leisure Services employees have been up and down, one minute in the foreground
                   and the next second, behind the scenes. We run full-force to drive programs and are forced to
                   pull back when required; researching resources, sites and ways to continually offer programs under
                   ever-changing health and safety advisories. Leisure Services has been revamping, redesigning,
                   planning, creating, communicating and working hard to provide the best messages and ideal
                   services where and when we can. There has been a ton of new and creative material being
                   visualized and instituted in both recreation and seniors. Great effort goes into securing contractors,
                   coordinating employees, making plans, purchasing materials, locating facilities, re-imagining
                   programs and thinking “outside of the box” to safely engage with all of you! It all must come
                   together and continues to as we service the Chesterfield community. There has been a ton of new
                   and creative material being visualized and instituted in both recreation and seniors throughout the
                   pandemic.
                      Follow us often on our Facebook page, visit our website at parks.chesterfieldtwp.org or give us a
                   call at 586-949-0400 ext. 4. All activities require pre-registration and enrollment can be done online
                   at parks.chesterfieldtwp.org, over the phone by calling 586-949-0400 ext. 4, or in-person by
                   appointment only. In an effort to best keep everyone safe, there will be a limited number of people
                   allowed to gather for each assigned activity and space fills fast! The Chesterfield Leisure Services
                   Department adheres to mandates as set-forth by the Michigan Department of Health and Human
                   Services and CDC guidelines for disease prevention. We make adjustments,
                   closures/cancellations and enact procedures in accordance with their requirements and within the
                   guidance of the elected Chesterfield Township Board. Programs in this publication are subject to
                   change. Registrants should be flexible in mindset and ready for program switches based on the
                   health crisis (virtual, “grab and go”, or date/time changes.) When a full cancellation occurs,
                   participants will receive a refund (minus service fees.)
                     Please reach out to your Leisure Services team at any time. We welcome the opportunity to get to
                   know you! Best wishes for a safe, healthy, peaceful, and joyful New Year. Looking forward to
                   togetherness in 2021!

                      Chesterfield Twp. Because we have 3 boys and they absolutely love the parks and rec
                   program that you operate. Also being a volunteer coach in your leagues has been so much
                   fun, and very well organized! This played a major factor in our housing decision and we are
                           excited to be residents and can’t wait for youth programs to start back up!”
