Township approves 2025 budget, several donated-use requests and releases stormwater bonds
Summary
The board approved the proposed 2025 budget, granted donated-use requests for the senior center and trails events, and released stormwater retainage/fund amounts totaling $57,959.61 for two long-standing projects.
The township board approved the proposed 2025 budget and a set of routine requests and fund releases during its meeting.
Chair introduced the proposed 2025 budget and the board moved and voted to approve it. The board also approved donated-use requests for the senior center from an owners association (event at 11:30 p.m. time reported in transcript as 07:30PM) and for a trails event by the 5 Points Homeowners Association on 02/10/2025 at 7:30 p.m.
Staff recommended release of two older stormwater retainage/fund items. For Steamfitters Local Union at 8150 Hawthorne Drive (parcel 40-017-073-019.16), staff said third-party inspections found the pond functioning properly and recommended release of $6,587. "So with that in mind, I'd recommend release of this," the staff presenter said. The board approved the release by motion and vote.
For the property at 69950 French Road (parcel 40-012-027-002), staff again reported long-standing inspection documentation showing the facility functioning and recommended releasing $51,372.61 from stormwater management funds; the board approved that release.
Why it matters: approving the budget sets the township’s fiscal blueprint for the coming year and releasing retainage/fund amounts closes longstanding items from the stormwater maintenance program. The transcript does not provide a roll-call tally for the votes; approvals are recorded as 'aye' in the meeting record.
Next steps: staff will finalize the budget record and complete paperwork to document the releases and facility files.
