During the bi-monthly meeting on Monday (Sep. 25), the Dewitt City Council voted unanimously in favor of approval for a new Finance Director position. The decision came in response to acknowledging staffing shortages, and it aims a fresh proposal to separate duties currently handled by the Interim Clerk-Treasure Sarah Stoltzfus, who is temporarily overseeing the financial aspects.

DELHI TOWNSHIP, Mich. – The Delhi Township Downtown Development Authority Board announced at its September 27th meeting that it anticipates an $800,000 loss in revenue from property tax collections beginning in 2025. Financial information was included as part of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) budget for 2023, which estimated future budgets for 2024 and 2025. The expiration of its contract with the Capital Area District Libraries means that it will no longer receive the property tax revenue it once did from the library.

PUBLICLANDS: DNR has been having conversations on public land ownership, especially with the counties that have a large amount of public-owned lands. We interviewed county leaders who expressed their concerns that high percentages of state lands can be a burden on their tax revenue, and revenue brought by tourism and recreation activity are not enough to offset the loss. The Legislature and the DNR are working on a bill and managed lands strategy to try to give more voice to these affected counties.
