Audit flags toll-bridge fund; township opens community logo contest for newly acquired bridge
Summary
Auditors said the newly created toll-bridge fund recorded a negative change in net position of about $1.1 million; the township later announced a public logo-design competition to commemorate municipal ownership of the toll bridge.
Auditors noted in the Sept. 22 presentation that the newly formed toll-bridge fund recorded about a $1.1 million decrease in net position for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Jamie Rivets said the toll-bridge fund required additional audit work because the bridge purchase was a new, unique transaction for the township.
Later in the meeting the township announced a community logo-design competition for the toll bridge to mark municipal ownership. The competition opens Oct. 1 and runs through Jan. 15; the winning designer will receive $250 and the rules and submission instructions will be posted on the township website and Facebook page. Township staff said the design will reference municipal ownership and commemorate the bridge’s transfer to township control.
Board members and staff highlighted that the toll-bridge acquisition required extra accounting effort during the audit and that communications initiatives, such as the logo contest, are intended to involve residents in the new municipal asset.
