The Waterford Township Board of Trustees took a set of operational and administrative actions on Feb. 9, 2026, approving a county radio interlocal agreement, public-works projects, election arrangements and several township policies.
Major approvals included adoption of an interlocal agreement to use Oakland County’s new P25 Simulcast public-safety radio system; the board designated the Waterford Police Department to fulfill township obligations under the agreement and authorized the supervisor to execute it.
