The following resolution
was offered by Member Daniel Carlton and seconded by Member Dale Mohr:
WHEREAS, the Township
Board, pursuant to Act 188 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1954, as amended
(the “Act”), has resolved its intent to annually make the public improvements
described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Public Improvements”); and
WHEREAS, after notice
duly given by publication on May 2, 2006, and May 9, 2006, in the Grand Valley Advance and by first class
mail on April 28, 2006, pursuant to the Act, the Township Board held a public
hearing to consider a proposed special assessment roll and objections thereto
for the Public Improvements on the 22nd day of May, 2006, at 7:30 p.m., at the
Township Hall; and
WHEREAS, after hearing
all persons interested therein, giving due consideration to any written
objections to the special assessment roll filed with the Township Clerk, and
after reviewing the special assessment roll, the Township Board deems the
special assessment roll to be fair, just and equitable, and that the assessment
contained thereon is relative to the benefits to be derived by the parcel of
land assessed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THAT:
1.
The special
assessment roll for the amount to be levied in 2006 for the Rushmore Lake Weed
Control Special Assessment District 2006 (the “Special Assessment District”) in
the amount of $12,805.04, prepared by the Township Supervisor and reported to
the Township Board, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, is hereby
confirmed and shall be known and designated as the Rushmore Lake Weed Control
Special Assessment District 2006 Roll (the “Roll”). The Roll sets forth the
relative portion of the cost of the Public Improvements that is to be levied
during the year 2006 in the form of special assessments against each benefited
lot and parcel of land in the Special Assessment District. The Township Board shall hereafter annually
determine the amount to be assessed in the Special Assessment District for the
cost of providing the Public Improvements and shall direct the Supervisor to
levy this amount.
2.
The Township
Clerk shall endorse on the Roll the date of this meeting as the date of
confirmation of the Roll.
3.
The Special
Assessment District shall exist for a term of fifteen (15) years. The assessment shall be spread and each
annual assessment shall become due and be collected at the same time as
Township taxes are assessed, levied and collected, and shall be returned in the
same manner for nonpayment.
4.
The
assessment shall not bear interest if paid on or before the date it is
due. If an assessment against any parcel
of land is not paid when due, then the assessment shall be considered to be
delinquent and there shall be collected such interest and penalties as are due
on delinquent Township taxes.
5.
All special assessments
contained in the Roll shall constitute a lien upon the respective parcels of
land assessed from the date of confirmation of the Roll.
6.
The special
assessments made in the Roll are hereby ordered and directed to be collected,
and the Township Clerk shall deliver the Roll to the Township Treasurer with a
warrant attached thereto, which shall command the Township Treasurer to collect
the special assessments in the Roll in accordance with the direction of the
Township Board, and which warrant shall further require the Township Treasurer,
on the first day of March following the date when any such assessments or any
part thereof have become due, to submit to the Township Board a sworn statement
setting forth the names of the persons delinquent, if known, a description of
the parcels of land upon which there are delinquent assessments and the amount
of such delinquency including accrued interest computed to March 1 of such
year. The form of the warrant is
attached hereto as Exhibit C.
7.
The Township
Treasurer, upon receiving the Roll and warrant, shall proceed to collect the
several amounts assessed therein as the same shall become due.
8.
All
resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict herewith shall be and the same
are hereby rescinded.

require that the establishment in existence prior to the effective date of this
ordinance upgrade to the requirements provided.
9.

outdoor grease trap shall be performed at frequencies necessary to protect the
capacity of the sewer system against accumulation of grease and oils, as
required by the “25% Rule” and at intervals no less than once every 90 days
