8/7/13 - Hartland Township got a glowing audit report at its regular meeting last night for the 2012-2013 budget year. The report indicated that the township was able to increase its fund balance while paying off debt in the last budget year. Township Manager James Wickman says the township revenue saw an increase of about 2.5% during the last fiscal year due to a corresponding increase in taxable property values, a sign of economic recovery. Wickman says aggressively paying off debt has saved the township tens of thousands of dollars in recent years. The auditor also warned the township about the Affordable Health Care Act, which he said could create complications for local municipalities in the next fiscal year. Wickman says the IRS does tend to create unexpected rules and procedures related to the act, but at the moment the township is in compliance. (TD)
