Board forms Centennial/Public Art committee and accepts $16,000 Michigan Arts Council grant
Summary
Trustees approved the formation of a Centennial (public art) committee with a recommended membership structure and sunset date of June 30, 2027, and accepted a $16,000 Michigan Arts Council award to fund the project.
Trustee Hagerman proposed a Centennial committee to oversee a public‑art project tied to township commemorations. She recommended that the committee include herself as chair, the superintendent as staff representative, and up to seven community members; trustees discussed reducing the number of community seats to ensure manageability and considered residency rules for applicants.
During debate trustees confirmed the committee would operate under the Open Meetings Act and FOIA, recommended a sunset date of June 30, 2027, and reviewed compensation for volunteers (standard township allowances discussed). Trustee Hagerman and other trustees agreed that the committee should recommend projects while final funding approvals remain with the board.
After forming the committee, the board accepted a Michigan Arts Council grant award of $16,000 (the township had requested $20,000). Trustees approved acceptance by roll‑call vote and indicated staff would work with the newly formed committee to finalize scope and procurement.
