Detkowski appointment to rec board

they expect,” he said.

Romeo, Washington and Bruce townships are part of a shared joint operating agreement they say provides amenities at reduced costs.

In 2022, Trustee Cindy Olsen made a motion to remove Greg Brynaert, former Romeo High School athletic director, as the Washington Township representative to the Parks and Recreation Commission, as well as township Supervisor Previti, who was his alternate. After that motion passed 5-2, Olsen nominated Detkowski to be the new township representative with her as the alternate. That motion passed 6-1.

The next year, Detkowski was the target of a recall effort that failed. Over 1,800 signatures were collected, but fell short of the 2,100 needed due to a 120day notice.

Residents of three communities will vote this August on a 1-mill renewal to fund the recreation program. Three-quarters of a mill go to the recreation department, with the remainder financing the Star Transportation community transportation program.

Previti said the joint hearing on whether to remove the commission member will require both boards to vote in a majority of vacating his seat.

“It will be an open forum with both board listening simultaneously to residents, staff, and board members’ concerns on Dan Detkowski’s alleged behavior so both boards can make a decision that night to vote to either remove him or let him remain,” Previti said.

The hearing on whether to remove Detkowski from the parks & recreation commission will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 7. Both boards of Bruce and Washington townships will hold the hearing at Washington Township Municipal Hall, 57900 Van Dyke Avenue in Washington Township.
