Blue Section Petitions
Residents in the Blue section are invited to sign a petition in support of the SAD to rebuild the Blue section roads. Petitions are available at the Village Hall during announced office hours (listed HERE on the homepage). Roads volunteers in the Blue section are also contacting residents to discuss the Roads project, and to provide an opportunity to sign the petitions.
Because the petitions are legal documents governed by Public Act 188 and other legal requirements, there are some technicalities to be aware of:
If a homeowner is married, both spouses must sign the petition regardless of whether both are listed on the title. It would help us greatly if both spouses can sign at the same time.
If the home is held by a trust, the petition must be signed by person(s) authorized by the trust documents to do so. We will be required to submit paperwork to Bloomfield Township to document the authority of the person(s) signing.
If the home is held by a corporate entity or LLC, the petition must be signed by person(s) with the authority to do so, usually an officer of the corporate entity. We will be required to submit copies of the relevant paperwork that document the authority of the person(s) signing.
What if I don’t support the SAD?
We understand that, as bad as our roads are, not every homeowner will support this effort. If you don’t support the SAD that will rebuild our roads, do not sign the petition. If you don’t sign the petition, you are essentially “voting NO.” One request – once you have decided you do not support the SAD, please inform our Road Committee volunteer that you have made a decision and won’t sign the petition. We respect your decision and don’t want to harass you; we ask you to be respectful of the volunteers trying to contact you.
Petition language
Access a reference copy of the petition language here. This includes the exact language of the official petition (excluding the signature pages) - the official petitions are in hardcopy only, and have the signature pages attached.
We would like to complete the petition process for the Blue Section by the end of May if possible.
