Bridgeport board approves fire special assessment roll after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing with residents both for and against, the Bridgeport Charter Township Board adopted the fire special assessment roll and set the 2025 general fund budget public hearing for Nov. 6, 2024.
The Bridgeport Charter Township Board voted to approve the fire special assessment roll after hearing public comment on Oct. 1, 2024.
The measure was adopted following a public hearing in which residents spoke both in favor of and against the assessment. Speakers in favor included Terry Duffett and Shawn Miller; those opposing included Gary Weaver, Hans Langschwager, Glen Chaney and Diane McGregor. The board subsequently approved Resolution R24-19 (transcript also references R24-18) by roll call vote, with all seven trustees voting yes.
The action followed formal public comment and the board’s earlier procedural votes; trustees also set a public hearing for the township’s 2025 general fund budget for Nov. 6, 2024 at 6 p.m.
The board did not debate the resolution’s text at length during the meeting; the record shows the hearing, resident remarks, and a final roll-call approval. The township clerk will retain written public comments and any letters submitted for the record.
What happens next: the approved assessment roll will be used in the township’s billing and budget process; specific implementation dates and billing procedures were not specified at the meeting.
