Planning Commission: Doug Graham reported that they had met on the 20th of April, but they did not have anything on the agenda nor were any permits issued. They did discuss the fact that our master plan had come up for review by the Tuscola County Planning Commission, and Nancy was working on that. There also was a brief report from the blight committee. The next meeting for the Planning Commission is in June.

Mayville Library: Carol Horsch commented that there meeting was on the 14th of April and they were working on the new budget for the year, and it will be approved at the June meeting. They received two grants from the Arlene Western Trust, which one has already been used to repair and replace some things around the library. The other grant will be received in July at which time they will purchase a new server and digitize the Mayville Monitor. Rita Slater whom runs the summer reading program also received a grant for her program; these funds will be available in May. They have also purchased additional memory for the computers.

Blight Committee: Rick did not have anything to report because no one had showed up for the meeting. The next meeting will be on the 28th of May.

Trustee: Bob commented about the meeting that they had attended on the 30th of April for the County Chapter of the MTA. He said that it was a very good meeting and Dale Kildee’s talk was very informative.

Board of Review: Richard Horsch (chairperson) remarked in regards to the board of review and the reappraisal that the State required the Township to perform. He had said that there have been cumulative errors over the years, and he researched documents from the Tuscola County Equalization Department to determine if the figures that Landmark Appraisal used were sensible. He determined that the agricultural lands were within the SEV, but the residential lands were grossly over assessed.
It is encouraged that any resident that is dissatisfied with their assessment to appeal to the Tax Tribunal. Which the directions on how to do so will be on the form received from the Board of Review if the property owner petitioned during their meetings.
If they have any other questions Richard Horsch is available to answer their questions. Richard also commented that Landmark Appraisal had used a legal method of formulation but they could have gone down farther when determining the SEV (State Equalized Value).
