CIRCLE PUBLIC HEARING Bob
Hanvey opened the public hearing for discussion on the roll for the Bonnie
Circle Road Maintenance Special Assessment District.
Mr. Hanvey asked for comment on the amount to be charged to each
parcel. Protest forms were made
available, and must be received prior to the end of the public hearing. Lee
Posley, 539 Bonnie Circle, said he would like the township to contribute
more than 10% to the cost of the project.
Lynn
Gates, 332 Bonnie Circle, asked for clarification on the dates of the
special assessment; the first payment would be on the winter 2013 tax bill.
The start date for the project would be determined by the LCRC. Melissa
Scharrer, 550 Bonnie Circle, asked when the planning is done for the next
year’s budget. Bob Hanvey said
planning begins in February or March, and the budget is finalized in June.
Robert
Bokor, 451 Bonnie Circle, asked how the roads are prioritized.
Les Andersen said those with the higher traffic counts are considered
first. Delores
Harmon, 555 Bonnie Circle, asked Dan Lowe if he had looked at the road.
Mr. Lowe said he looked at Bonnie Circle and Hardman; he felt the
roads are just old, and the garbage trucks and school busses are more
responsible for the condition of the roads than the gravel trains. Sharon
Bokor, 451 Bonnie Circle, said that if traffic counts are used to
prioritize, then Bonnie Circle will never be done.
She also mentioned Fox Hills in Howell Township that is similar to
Bonnie Circle, and the repairs were paid for entirely by the township.
Bob
Hanvey asked for any more comments regarding the roll, and again stated that
anyone who wants to appeal the assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal must
file a protest now. No more
comments were heard, and no protests were filed.
Mr. Hanvey closed the public hearing at 8:17 pm. Les
Andersen motioned to adopt a resolution to approve the roll for the Bonnie
Circle Road Maintenance Special Assessment District as presented.
Scott Lloyd seconded. Roll
call vote: Wyckoff, Murray,
Hanvey, Lloyd, Beal, Andersen, Lowe—all yes.

project, exact amount to be determined by the Livingston County Road
Commission at a later date. Les
