This Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) outlines the City of Fennville's infrastructure improvement needs and associated financing over a six-year timeframe. The plan identifies future needs for facilities and major equipment, details various funding sources including general funds, enterprise funds, state/federal funding, bonds, and tax increment financing, and schedules acquisition and maintenance of assets. The primary goals are to ensure efficient and continuous service to residents and businesses, align projects with community goals, encourage efficient government services, and enhance opportunities for intergovernmental cooperation and external funding.

The City Board adopted Resolution 2025-03, which outlines guidelines for poverty exemptions. These guidelines specify income and asset levels for claimants and all household residents, considering property tax credit returns from the previous year. Eligibility requirements include property ownership and occupancy as a primary residence, submission of tax returns or affidavits, presentation of identification and ownership evidence, adherence to federal poverty income standards, and asset limits. The Board of Review is directed to follow these guidelines and federal standards when granting or denying exemptions.
