Cascade Township approves special assessments, year‑end budget amendment and authorization to pay claims
Summary
The Cascade Charter Township Board approved a resolution authorizing special assessments to be included on the 2025 winter tax bill, a year‑end budget amendment that included a $2,000,000 adjustment related to a recently acquired property, and authorization for the township manager to approve claims between Nov. 20 and Jan. 14, 2026 to avoid late fees.
At its Nov. 19 meeting, the Cascade Charter Township Board of Trustees took several routine year‑end financial actions.
Special assessments: The board voted to approve a resolution listing special assessments to be added to the winter 2025 tax bill. Trustee Rizzi moved to approve the resolution, supported by Trustee Shipley; Clerk Slater called the roll and the motion carried with recorded affirmative votes.
Budget amendment: The board authorized year‑end budget amendments, described by staff as mostly housekeeping but including a $2,000,000 adjustment to cover the budget for a recently acquired property (referred to in the record as the Vurburg property). Trustee Rizzi moved to authorize the budget amendment, supported by Treasurer Corstange; the motion carried on a voice vote.
Payment authorization: To avoid late fees over a long interval between scheduled board meetings, the board authorized the township manager (or designee) to review and approve claims and pay invoices between Nov. 20 and Jan. 14, 2026, with a report of such payments to be included in the next board packet. Trustee Rizzi moved the authorization, supported by Treasurer Corstange; the motion carried.
Meeting schedule: The board approved the 2026 boards and commissions meeting schedule with one change — removal of the April 8 township board meeting — on a motion by Trustee Nordyke, supported by Treasurer Corstange.
All motions were carried as stated and were described by the clerk as carried; where roll call voting was recorded for the resolution (special assessments), the clerk recorded affirmative votes.
