Van Buren County commits modest FY26 funds to Area 15 RPC, AHEAD RHTF and RPA 15 local match
Summary
The board adopted Resolutions G, H and I to contribute $2,206.44 to Area 15 RPC, $1,441.00 to the AHEAD Regional Housing Trust Fund, and $3,080 as Van Buren County's FY26 local match for RPA 15 transportation planning.
The board approved Resolution #01-02-2025G committing $0.54 per capita (total $2,206.44) to the Area 15 Regional Planning Commission for July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, and designated Dale House as the county’s official representative and Bob Waugh as alternate. The supervisors also adopted Resolution #01-02-2025H to commit a base contribution of $1,441.00 to the AHEAD Regional Housing Trust Fund (pending FY2026 state funding) and Resolution #01-02-2025I agreeing to contribute $3,080 as Van Buren County’s share of the FY26 RPA 15 local match for transportation planning (RPA 15 expects to program an estimated $2,766,999 in federal highway funds for FY26; Van Buren’s estimated share of those funds is $300,126).
Each resolution passed by roll call or motion as recorded in the Jan. 2 minutes. The contributions are modest dollar amounts but are routine commitments that allow Van Buren County to maintain membership and planning participation in the Area 15/ RPA 15 region and to support regional housing trust fund activities.
