The Eaton County Public Safety Committee approved two township police service agreements for 2025 and passed a motion directing staff to prepare language for a possible public safety millage during its Dec. 5 meeting.
United Township Police Service Agreement: Committee members voted to approve the 2025 United Township policing agreement as presented in the meeting packet. The packet presentation said the agreement covers 15 hours (January 1–Dec. 31, 2025) with an overtime rate of $65 per hour and a township allocation of $50,000 for 2025; the packet compared those figures with prior years. A voice vote was recorded as "aye" and the motion carried. (Mover/second not specified in the verbal record.)
Windsor Township Police Agreement: The committee approved the Windsor Township policing agreement for 2025 as presented in the packet. The packet listed an 80-hour allocation for the period and included compensation figures as shown in the packet for 2025 and prior years; the verbal record did not identify a detailed line-item breakdown beyond what was presented. The motion was supported by Commissioner Drosha and approved by voice vote.
Public safety millage language: Chairperson Mott moved that staff prepare language for a proposed public safety millage and forward that language to the Ways and Means Committee on Friday, Dec. 13, 2024. The motion was supported by Commissioner Droscha and carried by voice vote. The committee did not vote on a millage amount or place the measure on a ballot; the action directs staff and legal counsel to draft language for consideration by Ways and Means.
