# Elmwood Township instrument review

Status: four source-description corrections applied to the existing Tuscola County legacy row; public build passed. No new instrument or status-count change.

The official township document index links Ordinance 2026-01 and the February and June minutes through public Google Drive files. Their original bodies and client extractions are preserved. Separate full-document layout extractions were registered, and relevant statements were quote-located. All three ordinance pages and the relevant February pages 1/3 and June pages 3/4 were visually checked; source and render hashes are pinned in `review.json`.

The February 18 minutes record unanimous adoption after changing the proposed twelve-month term to nine months. The township-hosted Ordinance 2026-01 states nine months from its effective date, or earlier effective new/amended data-center regulations. It takes effect on publication after adoption. Its adoption line is blank and the actual publication date remains unrecovered, so no calendar expiry is assigned.

June 17 minutes separately record adoption of Resolution 2026.06.17.A, titled a twelve-month moratorium on data centers and cryptocurrency mining, with four yes votes and one absence. The complete resolution and its legal relationship to the February ordinance remain unresolved. The minutes’ explanation references prior zoning and police-power actions; this review does not rewrite that account into an independently established successor or authority finding.

The corrected fields are adoption description, duration description, legal basis and current-status narrative. Provisional `extended` classification and unknown typed duration/endpoint remain. This does not split the legacy combined identity, establish a currently operative interval or renew its legal-force observation to November 5. July and September minutes were acquired for later review; no negative legal-history finding is drawn from them.

The answer file passed schema and expected-prior checks in dry run, then applied through `scripts/apply_research.py`; the receipt is `work/audit/apply-20261106T072244.json`. The full data/site build passed with zero errors and 282 warnings; all 49 checked numbers match, all 25 retained expanded generations are consistent, and the ballot-summary and private-source checks pass. See `validation.json`. Six acquisitions used the bounded client; full sources remain private in the archive.

Later-source review: all native text of the July 15 and September 16 minutes was read. July expressly approves the June minutes. September describes collecting other jurisdictions’ ordinances and considering a Dexter Township drafting reference; this is not an adopted Elmwood replacement. These observations are separately quote-located and pinned in the review, without modifying the already-applied answer file or inventing a negative current-force finding. October and later actions remain unresolved.
