Oscoda Township board adopts wastewater improvement plan, designates manager for EGLE/CWSRF communications
Summary
The board unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-16 to formally adopt a final project planning document for wastewater system improvements and designated Township Manager Adam Kline as the authorized representative for EGLE and the CWSRF program; a public hearing was held prior to the vote.
The Oscoda Township Board on April 27 adopted Resolution 2026-16, formally approving a final project planning document for wastewater system improvements and naming Township Manager Adam Kline as the township’s authorized representative for communications and applications with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).
At a public hearing before the vote, consultant Dave Richmond described the township’s CWSRF funding application and the overall project plan. Board member Mr. Cummings asked about backup power and commented that generators will be installed at lift stations as part of the project plan. The board closed the hearing and then approved the resolution by voice vote with all members present voting yea.
Why it matters: adopting the planning document is a required step to advance design and funding applications through EGLE and the CWSRF program. The board also approved related engineering invoices in the meeting packet, including a Rowe invoice for ‘‘2024 CWSRF’’ work totaling $16,719.87, showing the township’s active design and billing activity tied to the SRF project.
Details: Resolution 2026-16 names Township Manager Adam Kline to act on the township’s behalf in SRF communications and to submit required documentation to EGLE. The public hearing record shows project-level discussion (including pump station generators) but does not include a final construction scope or total project cost in the meeting minutes. Engineering work related to SRF planning was approved separately as line-item invoices in the packet; payments and invoice numbers were recorded on the consent/invoice motions.
Next step: With the planning document adopted and an authorized representative designated, staff will proceed with SRF application steps and continue detailed design and coordination with EGLE, per the resolution’s authorization.
