Village council approves letter backing township’s August road millage
Summary
After a township supervisor’s request, the Bloomingdale Village Council approved a motion to send a letter supporting an August road millage to fund a Mill Lake Road overlay ($283,480) and Baseline Road tree work ($18,290). The motion carried unanimously.
Matt Ashbrook, identified in the minutes as the township supervisor, asked the council during public comment on March 17 for a village letter of support for an August road millage to fund local road projects.
The council voted to approve a support letter. The motion to add the support-letter item to the agenda passed, and a subsequent motion to send the letter was moved by G. Simpson and supported by R. Empson; the minutes record a roll-call affirmative and state "Motion Carried." The request specifically listed a proposed Mill Lake Road overlay estimated at $283,480 and Baseline Road tree removal/prep estimated at $18,290, with an emphasis on limited tree removal because of past resident concerns.
The support-letter vote signals the council’s formal backing of the township’s effort to place a millage proposal before voters in August. The minutes do not record any formal estimate of the total millage rate or a township timeline beyond the requested August ballot placement.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the township will pursue the August millage placement and the village will provide the support letter approved at the March 17 meeting. No further procedural details or ballot language were provided in the minutes.
