PUBLIC COMMENT
PRESENTATION
2027 SCCMUA
Operating Budget &
5-Year Capital
Improvements Plan
(CIP)

None.
Director Brad Gurski reviewed the proposed SCCMUA budget with the Board. He
explained that the DeWitt Township Collections budget is fully funded by DeWitt
Township customers and supports the repair, maintenance, and operation of the
Township’s sewer collection system, including underground infrastructure and lift
stations. He noted that no significant changes were proposed, aside from a minor
increase related to participation in the MISS DIG utility locate system. Director

DeWitt Charter Township Board Minutes
May 26, 2026
Page 2
Gurski stated that SCCMUA’s overall budget reflected an approximate 5% increase,
while DeWitt Township’s related account reflected an increase of approximately
2.4%.
Director Gurski discussed bond interest expense increases associated with the
wastewater treatment plant expansion project, noting that final approval schedules
were still pending and costs may ultimately decrease because not all project funds
were utilized.
Reviewing the flow-allocated operations account, Mr. Gurski explained that
increased operational costs were associated with the new treatment plant
processes, including the implementation of ultraviolet disinfection and upgraded
filtration systems. He stated that the new systems are safer and more efficient, but
require additional labor and maintenance. He also discussed anticipated laboratory
supply increases associated with permit compliance requirements and explained
that SCCMUA would soon begin another permit renewal cycle.
Mr. Gurski further discussed increasing biosolids disposal costs, noting that land
application remains the most cost-effective option, but costs continue to escalate
due to limited vendors and disposal alternatives. He also addressed healthcare cost
projections, explaining that SCCMUA had previously budgeted conservatively for
anticipated increases, resulting in more stable projected costs for the upcoming
year.
Mr. Gurski then reviewed SCCMUA’s five-year capital improvement planning efforts
and highlighted future challenges associated with the wastewater treatment plant’s
original biological treatment process, which remains in service. He stated that
SCCMUA’s board and consultants are evaluating long-term replacement options and
are tentatively planning for implementation around 2030–2032, with the intention
of utilizing reserve funding to minimize future borrowing costs.
The Board thanked Mr. Gurski for his presentation.
PUBLIC HEARING

None.

Corridor
Improvement
Authority
Appointments

The US-127 BR (Old 27) Corridor Improvement Authority (CIA) was established in
2010 pursuant to Act 280 of the Public Acts of 2005. The purpose of the Authority is
to develop plans and financing mechanisms for enhanced infrastructure
improvements within the development area and to promote a superior environment
for business and community activity.
The development area of the Authority consists of all land and improvements
located within five hundred (500) feet on either side of the centerline of US-127 BR
between Sheridan Road and Northcrest Road. Pursuant to the adopted bylaws, the
Authority shall consist of no fewer than five (5) and no more than nine (9)
members. The CIA currently has seven (7) members serving on the Authority.
Over the past several months, four applications have been submitted for
consideration for appointment to the Corridor Improvement Authority. The bylaws
stipulate that one member shall be the Township Supervisor or their designee, and
that the Supervisor shall appoint the remaining members subject to approval by the
Board of Trustees. Additionally, a majority of the members must have an ownership
or business interest in property located within the development area, with at least
one (1) member residing within one-half (½) mile of any portion of the
development area.
Of the four applications received, two applicants met the established eligibility
criteria for appointment through residency within one-half (½) mile, or business
interest in the development area. Mr. Adam Baczkiewicz, a resident of Boichot
Road, has expressed interest in serving on the Authority. Mr. Baczkiewicz has
resided in DeWitt Township since January 2026 and is currently volunteering with
Junior Achievement, where he assists in providing financial education to elementary
school students. Additionally, Michael Jessup, CIO of McDaniels Kitchen and Bath is
also interested in serving.
Ross moved, Fox seconded, to approve the appointment of Adam
Baczkiewicz to the US-127 BR Corridor Improvement Authority for the
remainder of a term that expires on December 31, 2028, and to approve
the appointment of Michael Jessup to the US-127 Corridor Improvement
Authority for the remainder of a term that expires on December 31, 2027.
Motion voted and carried.

Mutual Aid
Agreement – Clinton
County Special
Operations Team

The Clinton Regional Special Operations Team (SOT) is comprised of officers from
the Clinton County Sheriff's Office, Bath Township Police Department, City of DeWitt
Police Department, DeWitt Township Police Department, City of St. Johns Police
Department, and Capital Region Airport Authority Police Department.
Established through a mutual aid agreement and governed by a representative
Board, the SOT provides critical tactical operations and support within Clinton
County for law enforcement needs. The team may also be activated for out-ofcounty needs through specified protocols identified within the agreement.

DeWitt Charter Township Board Minutes
May 26, 2026
Page 4
The agreement signed in 2019 by the participating entities to govern and operate
the SOT requires renewal. The Manager’s Office concurs with Police Chief Matt
Merony's recommendation to renew the agreement.
Cramton moved, Barrone seconded, to approve the renewal of the mutual
aid agreement for the Clinton County Special Operations Team and
authorize the Chief of Police as the Chief Executive Law Enforcement
Officer for the Township to sign the agreement.
Motion voted and carried.
Strategic Plan Reengagement

Nate Geinzer of Double Haul Solutions provided an overview of the status of the
strategic planning process and changes to the remaining timeline to ensure the
Board can complete the process consistent with its priorities this year.
As part of this re-engagement, the Manager’s Office is requesting a special meeting
for a workshop to allow the Board to work solely on the strategic plan, with a
specific focus on economic growth and its role in the next five years.
Nate Geinzer of Double Haul Solutions discussed ongoing strategic planning efforts
related to community and economic development within DeWitt Charter Township.
He explained that recent discussions have focused on viewing Township
infrastructure, quality of life, and operational planning in a more integrated manner,
including considerations related to non-motorized pathways, regional infrastructure
planning, and long-term community development goals. Mr. Geinzer stated that
department heads participated in identifying priorities and potential funding
allocations to assist in developing the framework presented to the Board.
Mr. Geinzer reviewed a proposed workshop tentatively scheduled for June 11 to
further discuss community and economic development strategies. He noted that
previous discussions revealed differing perspectives regarding the meaning of
community and economic development within DeWitt Charter Township. He stated
that the workshop would be intended to help establish a shared understanding of
the Township’s goals and priorities.
Mr. Geinzer explained that he anticipated bringing an additional consultant, Teresa,
to assist with the workshop discussions. He described her background in community
and economic development, including work with the Community Economic
Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM), the Flint Land Bank, and
Washtenaw County. He stated that the workshop would review available economic
development tools and strategies, including housing, industry, and corridor
redevelopment, before focusing on defining what community economic
development should mean specifically for DeWitt Charter Township.
Mr. Geinzer further explained the role of CEDAM and its work assisting
municipalities and emerging developers with understanding economic development
tools and incentive programs. He noted that some development tools available to

DeWitt Charter Township Board Minutes
May 26, 2026
Page 5
cities are not available to townships, but newer programs and strategies may
provide additional opportunities for DeWitt Charter Township.
Board members discussed potential discussion topics for the proposed workshop
and provided feedback regarding future planning priorities.
Trustee Hamp expressed concern regarding the timeline and status of the
Township’s strategic planning process, stating that he was unclear when the
process had paused and when it was expected to resume. He requested improved
communication and transparency regarding future project timelines and Board
priorities.
Manager McClanahan responded that the strategic planning effort had slowed due
to shifting Township priorities and leadership transitions. She explained that the
previous administration had placed the project on hold temporarily, and that with
the appointment of the current Supervisor and changes in Board leadership
approach, staff believed it was appropriate to resume the process. Manager
McClanahan further stated that the Board would receive additional communication
and timeline information moving forward.
Clerk Cramton noted that following prior strategic planning discussions, including
presentation of the “house diagram” framework, the Manager’s office had not
received any inquiries regarding continuation of the process.
Trustee Hamp reiterated the importance of keeping the Board informed regarding
the status of major projects and priorities and stated that timely communication
would assist Board members in understanding the direction of ongoing initiatives.
Stump moved, Ross seconded, to approve a special meeting for the
purposes of a strategic planning workshop to be held on June 11, 2026,
at 4:00 PM in the Board Room.
Motion voted and carried.
EXTENDED PUBLIC,
STAFF, & BOARD
COMMENTS

Police Department Report
Police Chief Matt Merony provided an update regarding police training opportunities
and recent public safety concerns within the Township. He reported that the
department continues to partner with an outside driving training program that
allows officers to attend and utilize equipment at no cost other than travel and
lodging expenses, which he stated significantly reduces training costs and wear on
Township equipment.
Chief Merony also informed the Board about recent “teen takeover” gatherings
occurring at Granger Meadows East. He explained that large groups of juveniles
have been organizing gatherings through social media platforms, including
Snapchat and WhatsApp, and congregating in public spaces. Chief Merony stated
that the gatherings had occurred on multiple days over the prior weekend and,
while no significant property damage had yet occurred, officers had encountered

DeWitt Charter Township Board Minutes
May 26, 2026
Page 6
issues involving littering, weapons complaints, and a stolen vehicle. He further
explained that similar incidents have become a nationwide concern and can escalate
into dangerous situations involving street blockages, reckless driving, and
interference with law enforcement activity.
Chief Merony stated that the department has increased patrol presence and traffic
enforcement activity in the Granger Meadows and southern Township areas in an
effort to deter future gatherings. He noted that current law enforcement visibility
has been sufficient to disperse groups thus far, but acknowledged the challenge
presented by rapidly organized gatherings coordinated through private social media
channels.
Chief Merony additionally discussed ongoing efforts to expand camera coverage
within the Granger Meadows and Valley Farms areas. He stated that the
department had pursued grant funding through Senator Peters’ office for camera
integration, but the application was unsuccessful. Due to infrastructure limitations,
he explained that future camera installations in the area would likely require
wireless or satellite-linked systems.
In response to Board questions, Chief Merony discussed recent enforcement
statistics and noted that while overall arrest numbers were lower, the department
had recently encountered a higher proportion of felony-level offenses.
Fire Department Report
Fire Chief Dave DeKorte reported that the department responded to a residential
structure fire in the Chadwick Farms subdivision shortly before midnight on the
previous Saturday. He stated that the fire originated in a bathroom ceiling exhaust
fan area before extending to the bathroom floor. Chief DeKorte advised residents
not to leave bathroom ventilation fans running for extended periods, noting that the
motors can fail and potentially ignite surrounding materials. He reported that the
fire was successfully contained to the bathroom area.
Chief DeKorte also reported that, as of approximately 50 minutes prior to the
meeting, the department had responded to ten calls that day, including eight
medical calls and two fire incidents. He noted that one fire involved trees ignited by
weed-burning activity near pine trees and cautioned residents against using open
flames for weed control.
Chief DeKorte provided an update on the Clinton County Fire School, stating that
written examinations were scheduled for June 4, followed by practical testing at
Station 1 on June 6. He further reported that graduation ceremonies for
approximately twenty students would be held on June 16 in the apparatus bay.
Chief DeKorte additionally reported that the department was currently 120 calls
ahead of the previous year’s response totals, with 914 runs recorded to date
compared to 794 during the same period the prior year.
In response to Board questions, Chief DeKorte discussed a recent apartment
building fire and stated that the incident was caused by a cigarette being

DeWitt Charter Township Board Minutes
May 26, 2026
Page 7
improperly discarded into a container on a balcony. He explained that exterior
balcony fires in apartment buildings can rapidly spread into attic spaces where
sprinkler systems are not present, resulting in significant roof damage. Chief
DeKorte further noted that this risk is one reason the department restricts grills on
wooden apartment balconies unless the balconies are protected by sprinkler
systems.
Manager’s Report
Township Manager Amanda Bright McClanahan reported that the Township recently
closed recruitment for its Information Technology position and received nineteen
applications. She stated that staff anticipated conducting interviews the following
week and expressed hope that the position could be filled promptly in order to allow
existing staff to return to their regular responsibilities following an increase in
recent IT-related issues.
Manager McClanahan also updated the Board on several ongoing requests for
proposals. She reported that eight entities had requested information regarding the
Township’s general engineering services RFP and anticipated multiple bid
submissions. She noted that SCCMUA Director Brad Gurski and Road Commission
representative Jake Perkins had agreed to participate on the proposal evaluation
committee. She further stated that multiple entities had expressed interest in the
Township’s recreation master plan update RFP, with proposals due in early June.
Manager McClanahan discussed increased seasonal activity throughout the
Township, including traffic and enforcement concerns associated with ongoing road
construction projects and detours near Granger Meadows, Wood Road, Chandler
Road, and Airport Road. She stated that additional traffic enforcement requests had
been received from the Road Commission due to motorists disregarding posted
detours and road closures.
Manager McClanahan additionally reported that Township cemeteries were prepared
for Memorial Day and stated that surveying work for the Gunnisonville Cemetery
expansion project was scheduled to begin the following week in response to
increasing demand for cemetery space.
Manager McClanahan further informed the Board that the Michigan Legislature had
introduced several significant legislative proposals prior to its recess and anticipated
that state budget negotiations would continue throughout the summer.
Board discussion followed regarding traffic impacts from construction projects,
increased heavy truck traffic on Wood Road, and ongoing utility work associated
with Consumers Energy gas line replacement activities along Airport Road. Board
members also discussed recent fatal construction zone accidents in the region and
expressed appreciation for law enforcement response efforts related to roadway
safety and construction zone enforcement.
Clerk’s Report
Clerk Cramton reported that preparation for the August Primary Election was
underway and stated that election inspector training activities were continuing. He

DeWitt Charter Township Board Minutes
May 26, 2026
Page 8
informed the Board that 109 election inspectors had completed in-person training
sessions, with approximately 30 inspectors still requiring training. Clerk Cramton
stated that the training sessions were being video recorded to allow remaining
inspectors to complete training remotely by viewing the recordings in the Clerk’s
Office. He further noted that the Clinton County Clerk’s Office had requested use of
the training video for county purposes.
Clerk Cramton also informed the Board that he would be working remotely for the
remainder of the week, and will be available by phone, text message, and email as
needed.
Supervisor’s Report
Supervisor Ross reported that he and Manager McClanahan recently attended the
groundbreaking ceremony for NioWave and described the company as a strong
addition to the region with an engaged leadership team and workforce. He stated
that the expansion represented a significant investment in the airport area and
surrounding community.
Supervisor Ross also encouraged Board members to continue considering potential
changes to future Board meeting schedules and locations, including the possibility
of periodically holding meetings at alternate Township locations and exploring
earlier meeting start times. He requested feedback from Board members regarding
those concepts.
No public comments were offered.

Hamp moved, Ross seconded, to adjourn at 8:31 PM.

$28,968,419; recent budgets have included an annual appropriation of

priorities, and needs;
The CIP is used to guide annual budget development within available
resources and staffing capacity; project cost estimates are inflationadjusted and based on current asset conditions and expected useful
life, but may vary from final costs due to scope and timing changes;
It was noted future facility projections included in the CIP are
preliminary planning estimates and may change based on future
studies, including the Fairgrounds Master Plan and evolving facility
needs;
Discussion included concerns regarding aging building infrastructure,
including HVAC and air handling systems, and the importance of
prioritizing health, safety, and statutorily required functions;
Committee members also discussed challenges related to project
scheduling, contractor availability, bidding timelines, and staffing
capacity when implementing capital projects;
Discussion followed including information on the report to identify
projects supporting statutorily required functions and discretionary
functions;
Future steps include a review of proposed CIP updates in July when
the Board will have the opportunity to provide input on the
prioritization of projects, and an updated CIP (including 2027 budget
details) will be presented with the full 2027 budget recommendation in

DATE:

SUBJECT:

SCCMUA Fund Balance Disposition

MANAGER
Amanda B. McClanahan

The Southern Clinton County Municipal Utilities Authority (SCCMUA) has notified us that we have
$243,013.43 in 2025 excess funds that require disposition. This number was determined after their
audit was performed. Every year the Township is asked how we wish to have these funds applied.
The Township has three options:
1. The money can be left at SCCMUA and applied to our reserves for future projects.
2. Reduce our monthly SCCMUA payments.
3. Request that the money be returned to the Township’s sanitary sewer enterprise fund.
Currently, the Township has a total fund balance as follows at SCCMUA, as of April 30, 2026:
DeWitt Twp Project Reserve - $233,098.95
DeWitt Twp Lift Station Equipment Reserve - Special Projects – $644,022.33
DeWitt Twp Sewer Fund Balance - $430,940.00 (this amount includes the $243,013.43 from
2025 awaiting disposition).
The Manager’s Office is recommending that the DeWitt Township Sewer Fund Balance annually be
maintained at approximately $200,000, unless there is an upcoming project that will require
funding not previously budgeted.
In this case, there is an upcoming large project for equipment replacement at SCCMUA that is
anticipated to be a significant expense. Therefore, the Manager’s Office is recommending that in
lieu of requesting return, this year the funds be retained at SCCMUA.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Township Manager to advise SCCMUA to leave the $234,013.43 at the facility within
DeWitt Township reserves and apply these funds to future projects.
