Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees Meeting on October 12, 2026

Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees meeting, October 12, 2026: The board unanimously approved a change order for the Janer and Sully Safety Path Program, authorizing about $43,000 in additional repairs after work began. The added work brought the identified project scope to approximately $155,000, compared with the $124,000 originally budgeted and roughly $112,000 initially identified under the contract extension with the contractor referred to in the transcript as Italia. The board also voted 7–0 to approve the contract associated with Nate Keaton’s promotion to fire department operations officer; no contract amount was stated.

The board voted 7–0 to approve a resolution supporting a USDA wildlife-management program to assess local deer data and conditions and provide recommendations. The estimated cost discussed was $150,000 per year for a three-year program, potentially reduced to about $50,000 annually if shared by three similarly sized communities. The resolution does not itself authorize deer removal; the board said any future action requiring ordinance changes would come back for a separate decision. Trustees also reviewed an e-bike safety and registration proposal, including a proposed $20 fee per bike (free for medical or disability use) and a moratorium exception for qualifying riders under 16 who complete the township course; the transcript does not capture a final vote on that resolution.
