The board voted to adopt Resolution 2026‑05 recognizing June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Trustees discussed whether a local resolution was necessary given that the governor had proclaimed the month statewide; some members said the local resolution is symbolic and does not change flag policy.
A motion to adopt the resolution was made and seconded. During the recorded roll call, Miss Butler Challenger voted 'no'; the remaining trustees voted 'yes' and the chair announced the motion carried.
Why it matters: The resolution is a formal recognition of Pride Month by the township. Trustees who supported the resolution described it as a symbolic declaration that Bath Township is an inclusive place for residents of diverse sexual orientation and gender identity, while one trustee opposed.
Next steps: The resolution will be recorded in township records and the board indicated interest in considering recognition requests from other community groups in the future.
