Three-Way Tug of War Over Bertram Community Center
A Bertram dispute centers on converting the old township hall into a community center. The Bertram township community center committee led by Ralph Driscoll seeks a restructured tax levy to fund maintenance, while the town council and trustees dispute lease authority and long-term control. Mayor Ed Brown favors terminating the lease and restoring the building to town management, with hopes of eventual community use.

Bertram Township considers mill levy for hall maintenance
Bertram trustees may replace the quarter mill levy for future maintenance of the township hall after it was withdrawn when the building was leased. Basham cites $5,000 pledged but says cooperation from trustees is lacking. If lease ends, trustees could levy up to a half mill for building upkeep, with officials arguing for a modern community center to aid low income and elderly residents. The old township hall awaits its fate.
