In response to the severe storm that struck the Charter Township of Kalamazoo on May 15, 2025, causing widespread tree damage, downed power lines, and blocked roadways, the Township Board swiftly and unanimously approved emergency funding for storm debris cleanup efforts. The decision reflects the Township’s commitment to service and its proactive approach to supporting the community in times of need. On June 2, 2025 curbside brush pickup will commence across affected areas. Beginning immediately, tree removal services are being prioritized and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Residents are asked to place manageable brush near the roadside. For larger trees or more complex needs, residents may submit a service request via the Township website at ktwp.org/contact-and-hours or by calling (269) 381-8080.

FOIA Request

Overview

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulates and sets requirements for the disclosure of certain public records of certain public bodies (like Kalamazoo Township) in the state.

“Public record” means a writing prepared, owned, used, in the possession of, or retained by a public body in the performance of an official function from the time it is created.

In general, all records except those specifically cited as exceptions are covered by the FOIA. The records covered include minutes of open meetings, officials’ voting records, staff manuals, among others.

The FOIA permits, but does not require, a public body to withhold from public disclosure certain classes of records, including specific personal information about an individual if the release would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of that individual’s privacy, among others.

A fee may be charged to retrieve and copy records subject to conditions detailed in the documents linked here.
