Summary

After review and a township meeting, the board approved a 2026–27 township maintenance contract using a five‑year rolling average; the full‑time maintenance rate will be $1,120 per mile (a $68 increase from last year, about 6.5%).

Justin presented the proposed township maintenance contract for 2026–27 and described the five‑year rolling average formula used to set the rate. He said townships and highway committee members attended a recent meeting and raised construction questions but not concerns about maintenance cost calculations.

The recommended full‑time maintenance rate is $1,120 per mile, an increase of $68 from the previous year (about 6.5%). Justin said differences in snow removal and fuel influence year‑to‑year variance. A motion to approve the contract at $1,120 per mile carried by voice vote.

Commissioners noted the rollout process and thanked staff for engaging township officers. The board directed that the approved rate be communicated to township officers as part of budget planning for the coming years.
