Commissioners approve two township liquid-fuels payments, table a larger request for more detail
Summary
The commission approved $5,000 each for Grove and Portage townships from the county's liquid fuels fund, and tabled a $27,796.98 request from Lumber Township pending a detailed breakout of winter maintenance versus motor replacement costs.
The Cameron County commissioners voted to approve two liquid-fuels requests and tabled a larger application for further detail. The chair said the county's liquid fuels balance was about $17,700 and emphasized allocations must be made by the end of the month.
Commissioners approved Grove Township's request for $5,000 to support winter maintenance after a motion and voice vote. Lumber Township's $27,796.98 request for a motor replacement and winter services was tabled after commissioners said the application lacked a cost breakout; the commission asked Lumber Township to submit an updated application separating winter maintenance costs from the motor replacement figure. Portage Township's $5,000 request—the township requested that amount toward a John Deere Model 66320 with side-arm mower—was approved by voice vote.
A commissioner noted that awarding the full Lumber Township amount would exceed the available balance and recommended tabling until the next meeting to get exact costs. The chair said commissioners would hold remaining allocations while waiting for Gibson's request to ensure equitable distribution among municipalities.
Outcome summary: Grove Township $5,000 approved; Lumber Township $27,796.98 tabled pending a detailed breakout; Portage Township $5,000 approved. The chair said the commission will reassess remaining allocations at the next meeting.
