Bloomington Township board adopts FY 2026 budget, reappoints cemetery board member
Summary
Bloomington Township trustees opened and closed a public hearing on the township’s FY 2026 budget, adopted the appropriation ordinance by voice vote, and reappointed Brad Williams to the Evergreen Memorial Cemetery Board for a six‑year term.
At a March 24 meeting of the Bloomington Township trustees, the board opened and closed a public hearing on the township’s proposed fiscal year 2026 budget and then approved the budget and appropriation ordinance by voice vote.
Trustees discussed the budget briefly; Township Supervisor Skidward said he had explained the proposal at a previous meeting and noted the township is receiving partial reimbursements from Social Security for past assistance to residents who later received Social Security benefits. Skidward told trustees one case illustrated that reimbursements do not cover the full amount the township previously paid.
Following the budget action, trustees considered the reappointment of Brad Williams to the Evergreen Memorial Cemetery Board. Supervisor Skidward and trustees praised Williams’ historical knowledge and volunteer service; trustees approved the six‑year reappointment by voice vote.
Clarifying details: Supervisor Skidward said the township received roughly $9,000 in Social Security reimbursement for a single resident while the township had expended about $26,000 on that person over time; he emphasized the township receives only a portion of prior expenditures when Social Security benefits are awarded. The cemetery board term length was cited as six years.
