Hospital visit
Beaumont, Wayne hosts area students
Canton Township Clerk
Michael Siegrist cast the lone no
vote on funding unbudgeted
repair work for township tennis
and basketball courts during a
recent township meeting.. He
cited the uncertainty of the
approval by voters of a 1.45-mill,
20-year, road millage the board
members had placed on the elec-
tionballot inAugust.
“We don't know what the com-
munity is going to do. I have
heartburn about the capital proj-
ects out there,” saidSiegrist.
According to township offi-
cials, the millage would cost the
average Canton property owner
an additional $145 per year, or
about $3 each week if approved.
The millage would generate an
estimated $5,506,872 each year to
be used to repair and maintain
the roads in the township. That
amount would increase each
year only by the rate of inflation,
as prescribed by the Headlee
amendment, officials said.
The millage is necessary due
to the inadequate road funding
received from the county, state
and federal governments, the
board members agreed during
discussions of the issue.
They also agreed that it was a
difficult decision to place the
issue on the ballot.
While the board members
could have increased the town-
ship tax rate without a vote,
trustees opted to put the ques-
tions to voters.
“Raising taxes isn't something
anyone wants to do, but doing
nothing is not an option,” Trustee
John Anthony said during discus-
sions of the millage question.
“I'm comfortable with this
because we're leaving it up to the
residents to decide; we're not
telling them that this is what's
going tohappen.”
Siegrist said during the dis-
cussions that, “Michigan spends
per capita one-third less on road
repairs and maintenance than
our neighboring states.” He
added that a recent business
magazine article claimed that
Michigan residents pay an aver-
age of more than $800 annually
for car repairs directly related to
poor road conditions.
During the recent meeting,
Township Treasurer Dian
Slavens sympathized with
Siegrist's concerns regarding vot-
ers' approval of the roadmillage.
“I understand where you're
coming from,” she said.
She said that she and other
board members are concerned
about access to township recre-
ation facilities, with some tennis
courts closed due to cracks in the
surfaces that are creating haz-
ards.
The slated repair work
includes work at Griffin,
FreedomandFlodinparks.
“Looking at the condition of
these courts, you are going to
have to do it sometime in the
next couple years,” said Trustee
Steven Sneideman, who joined
the other board members in
approving some of the repair
funds.
The repair work was
approved by a 6-1 vote of the
boardmembers.
