The Glen Arbor Township Board voted to adopt Resolution No. 12‑2026 authorizing entry into a purchase agreement for real property at an asking price of $1,350,000. The resolution was amended to state the public purpose as 'expanding and enhancing the town center' and passed by roll‑call vote: Don Lewis, John DePuy and Bob Hawley voted aye; Pam Laureto and Tom Laureto voted nay, producing a 3–2 result.
Clerk Pam Laureto reported on legal guidance the Board had received from the Township Attorney concerning MCL 41.416e, which the Board discussed as it considered how tax funds could be used for maintenance or repair of public buildings. Supervisor Tom Laureto said he had contacted a bond attorney and that Trustees received an estimated 25‑year bond cost schedule; the minutes indicate Trustee Laureto distributed the estimate for board review. A member of the public asked the Board to clarify specific proposed uses for the property and questioned the role of B. Ihme in the transaction. No further formal conditions or financing details were recorded in the minutes.
