Hartland approves $475,000 contract to repave Tippsico Lake Road with county
Summary
The Hartland Township Board approved a cost‑share contract with the Livingston County Road Commission to repave Tippsico Lake Road; township share not to exceed $475,000. Officials stressed the project could reduce the assessment burden on subdivision residents but said legal and petition steps remain for internal roads.
The board voted to approve a contract with the Livingston County Road Commission for the 2026 Tippsico Lake Road Asphalt Rehabilitation project and authorized the public works director to act on the township's behalf for project decisions. Staff described the project as a 50/50 cost share with the county and said the township's portion would not exceed $475,000.
Public Works staff reviewed the history of earlier assessment efforts in Dunham Lake Estates, noting a 2022 special‑assessment attempt that failed to reach required buy‑in. Staff said including Tippsico/Tipsicle Lake in the assessment would lower per‑household costs for internal roads but raised legal and boundary questions that the county attorney must review. After board questions on timing and petitions, the motion passed by voice vote.
