This blog contains the complete DRAFT of the Study Session minutes from Aug. 7, 2014 on Fiduciary Review of Bloomfield Township, MI.
- I found it interesting to see that our Township Supervisor, Leo Savoie, did NOT ATTEND this meeting. WHY?
- "Fiduciary Review" should have occurred in July 2014... BEFORE ... the request for 4 millages on the Aug. 5, 2014 ballot. Our fiscal year ends March 31... the quarterly reviews report the data from June 30, August 31, and Dec. 31.
- This draft copy of the minutes from the study session meeting is currently found in the Board Packet for the Board of Trustees meeting for August 25, 2014. These Study Session minutes from Aug. 7, 2014 will simply be approved as written or modified if needed. No other comments or discussion about our township finances is expected to occur at this Monday, Aug. 25, 2014 Board of Trustees meeting.

- IF... you would like the complete audio from the Study Session meeting from Aug. 7, 2014, you must file a FOIA request for that document by Monday, August 25, 2014 or you risk it not being available later.
- Honestly, I think all Fiduciary Review AUDIO tapes/CD's should be archived. Or better yet, ALL PUBLIC meetings should be audio/video recorded and archived on the Township website. We should not have to PAY for this important audio document. What questions did the township ask? What were the answers? What else was said at this meeting that MAY not be in the written minutes?
