Township trustee says CIP adopted and filed; trustees reminded of Sept. 30 gateway deadline

Sherry, a township trustee who attended the Sept. 18 session, told the council she had adopted her township’s 2026 capital improvement plan and uploaded the record to the state gateway on Aug. 31. The Chair and staff asked her to leave a copy for the council’s review and reminded trustees that filings are due Sept. 30.

“I already had it adopted on August 31, and it's already in gateway,” Sherry (Speaker 8) said. Council members explained that failure to file can affect ratings and funding and urged trustees to use the state’s template and DLGF guidance. Staff said they would help trustees who need assistance preparing or submitting the required documents.

The meeting also included a brief discussion about possible township consolidations under a state review. Speakers named Jackson, North Bend and Davis as townships being considered for merger; participants said nothing is official until year‑end and that DLGF remains short‑staffed on those decisions.
