Madison Township trustee outlines how new state rule will route township funds toward local roads
Summary
Madison Township trustee Kevin Fry told council that a state rule now requires a portion of year‑end unrestricted funds be used for infrastructure and roads; he said he will split township distributions between the city and county and asked for a prioritized road list.
Madison Township trustee Kevin Fry explained a state change that requires a percentage of leftover unrestricted general funds to be allocated to infrastructure, including roads, and said that distribution will be shared between township and county responsibilities. Fry said the funds must be used within the township and be approved by his advisory board before spending.
"Because the township trustee for Madison covers the city plus the county as well, I will split you between the two," Fry said, describing the practical effect for the city. He asked that the council provide a prioritized CCMG road list and noted he would meet with county commissioners and the county council to coordinate projects. The mayor and staff said the city will provide a capital improvement list by early September to meet DLGF and local funding planning timelines.
