The Batavia Township Board of Trustees on Jan. 15 adopted Resolution 01-05-2026 to place a 9.5‑mill levy for the township fire district on the May 5, 2026 primary ballot after correcting a missing sentence in the previously approved resolution.
The Batavia Township Board of Trustees adopted a resolution on Jan. 15 to place a 9.5‑mill fire levy for the Batavia Township Fire District on the May 5, 2026 primary ballot.
Trustee Randy Perry moved to adopt Resolution 01-05-2026, which the minutes describe as updating a previously approved resolution to include one missing sentence before filing the measure with the Board of Elections. Trustee Ms. Wessel voted yes; the motion carried.
Karen Swartz, township administrator, told the board that a sentence was missing from the earlier resolution and needed to be added before the document was submitted for the May 5 election. The resolution is listed in the minutes as applying to tax year 2026 and to be submitted to the Board of Elections for placement on the primary ballot.
The board took the action during a special meeting that began at 4:00 p.m. at the Batavia Township Community Center. The meeting record does not specify who seconded the motion to adopt the resolution. The minutes record both trustees voting in favor.
The action will proceed through the normal election filing process with the Board of Elections and, if approved by voters on May 5, would take effect for tax year 2026.
