Paw Paw Council votes to exempt village from PA 152; budget adoption motion recorded
Summary
On Feb. 23 the Paw Paw Village Council approved Resolution 26-05 to exempt the village from PA 152 by a 5-0 roll call and moved to adopt Resolution 26-04 to amend the 2025–26 budget and adopt the FY 2026–27 budget (the minutes record the motion but do not specify the vote).
The Paw Paw Village Council voted unanimously 5-0 on Feb. 23 to approve Resolution 26-05, exercising the village’s right to exempt itself from the requirements of PA 152.
Trustee Donne Rohr moved to approve the PA 152 exemption and the roll call vote recorded Trustees Steve Richardson, Holly Hamilton, Douglas Craddock, President Roman Plaszczak and Rohr voting yes. The motion carried, as reflected in the minutes.
At the same meeting Rohr moved, with support from Trustee Douglas Craddock, to adopt Resolution 26-04 to amend the 2025–26 fiscal year budget and to adopt the fiscal year 2026–2027 budget beginning March 1, 2026. The minutes record the motion but do not specify the result of a vote for Resolution 26-04.
Why it matters: PA 152 addresses limits or requirements related to public-employee health care cost-sharing. A local exemption affects how the village may set or maintain contributions for employee health benefits. Adoption or amendment of the municipal budget sets spending levels and priorities for the coming fiscal year.
What happens next: The minutes show the council moved the budget adoption; because the vote for Resolution 26-04 is not specified in the minutes, the next official record or subsequent meeting agenda/minutes would confirm whether the budget was formally adopted and any implementation steps.
Provenance: The PA 152 roll call and the budget motion are recorded in the meeting minutes entry for SEG 001.
