Oscoda Township adopts FY2026 budget, sets water and sewer rates and approves officer salaries
Summary
At a Dec. 22 special meeting the Oscoda Township Board adopted the township's FY2026 general appropriations, approved new water and sanitary sewer rates, and enacted four resolutions setting township officer salaries; all votes were unanimous among members present.
The Oscoda Township Board on Dec. 22 adopted its fiscal year 2026 General Appropriations Act and a slate of administrative resolutions, including new water and sanitary sewer rates and salary resolutions for township officers.
The special meeting, called to order by Clerk Heather Tait at 6:30 p.m. at Robert J. Parks Library, included a roll-call vote to adopt Resolution 2025-36 (General Appropriations Act — fiscal year 2026). The motion to adopt was moved by Heather Tait and supported by Ms. Fortner; the roll-call vote recorded six yeas (Mr. Cummings, Ms. Fortner, Ms. Tait, Mr. Linderman, Jaimie McGuire, and Mr. Wygant) with Supervisor Nicole Tregear absent. The resolution was declared adopted.
As part of the board’s formal actions, the board adopted Resolution 2025-34 to set sanitary sewer rates and Resolution 2025-35 to set water rates. Both rate resolutions passed by roll-call vote with the same six members voting in the affirmative and no recorded nays. The minutes record these actions but do not specify the new rate amounts or effective dates.
Earlier in the meeting the board adopted Resolution 2025-32 approving fourth-quarter fiscal year 2025 budget amendments and Resolution 2025-33 regarding the township’s poverty exemption policy; both were approved by unanimous roll-call votes of members present.
The board also approved four separate resolutions to set township officer salaries for trustee (2025-37), clerk (2025-38), treasurer (2025-39) and supervisor (2025-40). Each salary resolution passed by roll-call vote; the minutes do not include the salary figures in the motion text.
The board adopted Resolution 2025-41 to consolidate precincts and Resolution 2025-42 supporting the Iosco County Hazard Mitigation Plan; both were approved unanimously by members present.
The meeting minutes reflect that all listed resolutions were declared adopted following roll-call votes. The minutes do not record extended debate or detailed fiscal exhibits in the text; supporting documentation (budget spreadsheets, rate schedules) is referenced only in the agenda packet and not transcribed in the minutes.
The board adjourned at 7:36 p.m. Informational items appended to the minutes included a DPW director search-committee update and the November 2025 water-loss report.
Next procedural steps: the resolutions were adopted at the Dec. 22 special meeting; the minutes do not state effective dates for the appropriations act or the new rates, nor do they provide contract or salary detail beyond adoption.
