Bedford Planning Commission seat remains open
Bedford Township’s Planning Commission remains one member short after Supervisor Paul Pirrone’s sixth attempt to fill the vacant seat failed to reach a vote during the township board of trustees’ meeting on Tuesday.
Pirrone’s latest nominee was Michael Smith, a longtime Bedford resident who served for 15 years on the Bedford Public Schools Board of Education and who is currently the Sergeant At Arms for the Monroe/Lenawee County AFL-CIO Central Labor Council.
“Mr. Smith has demonstrated his board leadership skills having served on the Bedford Public Schools Board for 15 years and the Work Force Development Board,” Pirrone said. “In addition, he has served on many community projects through his work in Monroe County. Mr. Smith has served his community not only in the past, but is looking to serve Bedford once again.”

Bedford approves contract with Assessing Solutions, Inc.
Bedford Township’s Board of Trustees agreed on Tuesday to contract with Michigan-based assessing firm Assessing Solutions, Inc.
The board voted 5-1 to enter into a contract with the assessing firm, with trustee Craig Montri the lone ‘no’ vote. Trustee Joe Gore was absent from Tuesday’s meeting.
The township will pay Assessing Solutions $10,000 per month through April 30, 2022, with a $300/month raise annually thereafter through the length of the contract, which expires April 30, 2026. In the last year of the agreement, the township will pay Assessing Solutions $11,200 per month.
The move comes just two weeks after Anthony Meyaard, president and owner of Assessing Solutions, withdrew his company’s bid for consideration after township supervisor Paul Pirrone indicated he was not in favor of the township partnering with them due to financial concerns.
