Augusta Township By DAVE WAK The Augusta Township Board of Trustees voted 4-3 Tuesday night to replace bookkeeper Kathy McDonald with a two-person accounting team from the auditing firm Plante & Moran.

the township’s financial records had not been caught up yet.
Township rating lowering bond costs Savings already are being realized from Ypsilanti Township’s improved credit rating, officials said last week. Standard & Poors raised the township’s credit rating from "A-" to "A+" following a meeting in Chicago between credit analysts and township officials, including Supervisor Karen Lovejoy Roe, Clerk Brenda Stumbo and Treasurer Larry Doe. Last Thursday, the Ypsilanti Community Utility
Authority Board received bids on $14.8 million in bonds to fund the
township’s share of improvements at the wastewater treatment plant.

Ypsi schools, unions reach tentative pact By JUDY
BUSACK Two unions in the Ypsilanti Public School district have reached a tentative agreement on new contracts. Bargainers for the schools and representatives of the Ypsilanti Support Services Association and the Ypsilanti Federation of Teachers, which combined represent 288 staff members in the district, have reached a tentative agreement on multi-year contracts. "We’re pleased to have reached agreement with two of
our four bargaining units," said YPS Superintendent David Zuhlke. "We
think these are fair agreements, given the current economic times."
