Bancroft council releases draft Master Plan for review, adopts two ordinances and two resolutions
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the Village of Bancroft council authorized release of the draft 2026 Master Plan for the required 63-day public agency review, adopted two local ordinances (hunting and vegetation control), approved purchases including a village sign and three-year malware protection, and adopted two resolutions setting fines.
The Village of Bancroft council on June 10 voted to release its draft Village of Bancroft Master Plan 2026 for the mandated 63-day public agency review and adopted two local ordinances and two resolutions while approving several municipal purchases.
Council action centered on planning and local regulation: F. Simpson moved, supported by H. Boggetta, to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation that the draft Master Plan 2026 be released for the 63-day review required under the Michigan Planning Enabling Act; the motion carried with all yeas. The council authorized the public-agency review period, starting the next step in the plan's formal adoption process.
The council also adopted Ordinance 316-26, which the minutes describe as an ordinance to regulate hunting within the village, and Ordinance 316-27, to regulate the cutting of grasses, shrubs, trees and noxious weeds. Both ordinances were approved by motion (Simpson moved/ Fall supported for 316-26; Boggetta moved/ Simpson supported for 316-27) and recorded as carried by the council.
On procurement, the council approved purchase of a Village sign for 503 W. Maple to be paid from the General Fund. The motion (moved by H. Boggetta and supported by L. Fall) recorded roll-call votes listing E. Labadie, L. Fall, F. Simpson, H. Boggetta and B. Barnum as 'yes.' The council also approved paying $612.00 for a three-year Bluehost malware-protection service for the village website (motion moved by F. Simpson and supported by L. Fall); the minutes record the same roll-call pattern as 'yes' for that item.
The agenda noted SEDP was tabled; no additional details were provided in the minutes.
The council adopted two resolutions: Resolution 2026-01, setting fines for violations of the International Property Maintenance Code, and Resolution 2026-02, setting fines related to the village hunting ordinance. Both resolutions were moved by H. Boggetta, supported by F. Simpson, and recorded as carried.
Routine business included approval of May 13 meeting minutes and acceptance of bills and the treasurer's report; roll-call votes for those items are recorded in the minutes. The meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m.
What happens next: the draft Master Plan enters the 63-day review period required by the Michigan Planning Enabling Act; the ordinances and resolutions adopted are in effect as recorded in the minutes and any implementation or enforcement steps will follow the council's direction or administrative processes.
