Summary
At its Feb. 17 meeting the board approved the consent agenda, accounts payable, a kitchen-flooring contract under a LEAP grant (not to exceed $7,000), multiple salary resolutions with no increases, and other routine items; the board adjourned at 8:48 p.m.
The Eagle Township Board handled routine fiscal and operational items at its Feb. 17 meeting, approving the consent agenda, monthly bills and a set of personnel and facilities measures.
Key actions recorded in the minutes:
- Consent agenda: Motion by Treasurer Chelsea Hoppes, supported by Supervisor Troy Stroud; motion carried.
- Agenda approval: Motion by Supervisor Troy Stroud, supported by Treasurer Chelsea Hoppes; motion carried.
- Accounts payable and monthly bills: Motion by Clerk Laurie Briggs-Dudley, supported by Treasurer Chelsea Hoppes; motion carried.
- Website complaints policy: Motion by Supervisor Troy Stroud, supported by Trustee Michelle Hoppes to require complaints to include a valid name and phone and/or email address, subject to validation by the Code Enforcement Officer; motion carried.
- LEAP grant: Awarded kitchen flooring to Mid-Michigan Flooring at a price not to exceed $7,000 (motion by Supervisor Troy Stroud, supported by Trustee Michelle Hoppes). Supervisor Stroud said both restrooms will likely need reconfiguration into a single ADA-accessible bathroom; he will gather quotes and request additional potential improvements. Clerk Briggs-Dudley will transfer township hall expenditures to LEAP’s official tracking form. A LEAP representative noted that labor performed by the township maintenance person is administrative and not reimbursable, but purchases made by that person can be reimbursed.
- Salary resolutions: The board adopted four resolutions establishing FY 2026-27 salaries for the supervisor, clerk, treasurer and trustees with no increases. Each resolution passed; in each case the official whose salary was set abstained as recorded in the roll calls.
- Budget policy: Motion to update Board Policy Section 15.b as proposed; motion carried.
- Adjournment: Motion by Supervisor Troy Stroud, supported by Treasurer Chelsea Hoppes to adjourn at 8:48 p.m.; motion carried.
The minutes record these approvals but do not include text for contract documents, salary amounts, or full resolution language. The board’s follow-up items include obtaining additional quotes for hall improvements and posting for a new assessor to be presented at the March 17 meeting.
