DeKalb Township trustees voted on several fiscal and policy items, including payment approvals, receipt of the treasurer’s budget report, a tax levy ordinance and a commemorative resolution.
The board approved the September audit reports in the amount of $260,027.27 and motioned to pay October bills totaling $764,156.43; a roll call recorded votes in favor and the motion passed. The board then voted to receive, file and approve the treasurer’s September budget report; that motion also passed on roll call.
On the township’s levy, trustees approved ordinance 2025‑0022T (DeKalb Township levy) requesting a total of $1,115,775 for the coming fiscal year.
