One big item is the 2026 budget for approval. The packet contains an overview of where your real estate taxes go (18% to Township) and a listing or top personnel. Per state law none of this information need be supplied; even an agenda is not required by law.

Its interesting to note that the Nov 11th closed session included an “evaluation of the township manager”. This can be done in closed session if requested by the Manager. See state law below.

https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=MCL-15-268

15.268 Closed sessions; permissible purposes; applicability to independent citizens redistricting commission.

Sec. 8.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), a public body may meet in a closed session only for the following purposes:

(a) To consider the dismissal, suspension, or disciplining of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against, or to consider a periodic personnel evaluation of, a public officer, employee, staff member, or individual agent, if the named individual requests a closed hearing. An individual requesting a closed hearing may rescind the request at any time, in which case the matter at issue must be considered after the rescission only in open sessions.

The law goes on to list other 11 other purposes up to paragraph (l).

One wonders why all our managers opt for closed evaluations?
