>> Those opposed? Motion passes 70. All
[1:02] right. This time we'll open the floor
for public comment for agenda items.
[1:06] There's also public comment at the end
of the meeting for any item you'd like
[1:10] to bring to the council's attention. We
will start right in the front row.
[1:14] Bruce.

[1:33] Resolution [clears throat] 2604 is a
resolution to provide the designation of
[1:37] September 18th, 2026 as PMIA
recognition day.
[1:46] Yep. Uh nothing really to add on this
one. This is something the council
[1:49] generally does uh annually and uh
resolution's included in the packet but
[1:53] uh no specific [clears throat] beyond
that
[2:00] entertain a motion to approve resolution
2604
[2:03] motion
>> motion by Cummings support by
[2:08] » any other discussion
[2:12] I had one member ask me why we have to
do it every year and for whatever reason
[2:17] they They like to have the resolution
yearly.
[2:20] Um, this is something I've been doing
many years as I can remember. So, all
[2:26] right. All in favor?
>> Those opposed? Motion passes. 70.
[2:31] Resolution 2605 is a resolution to
accept project grant agreement with
[2:37] MNRTF
for project TF25-07.
[2:44] » Okay. So uh this one is the formal
resolution accepting the grant funding
[2:48] funding from the Michigan Natural
Resources uh trust fund. Uh this is the
[2:52] Rogue River Park South Kayak Landing. So
this is uh designated for the property
[2:57] uh near the airport uh that we generally
use for keeping the approach path uh
[3:01] clear of trees. Um not to be confused
with the grant that we got the cycle
[3:06] before this uh for the property uh
inside the village. So uh just a
[3:11] resolution. Um you guys already approved
the dollar amount in the budget and also
[3:15] applying for the grant last year. This
is just the final step in terms of
[3:19] accepting it uh now that it's been
approved by the state.
[3:26] » Entertain a motion to approve resolution
2605.
[3:30] » Make that motion.
>> Motion by people's
[3:33] » support. Support by Carlstrom. Further
discussion
[3:40] hearing none. All in favor?
>> I opposed. Motion passes 70. Bailey
[3:46] Bridge bids contractor selection. Okay.
As council will recall, we went out to
[3:53] bid uh for the Baleat Bridge. This is uh
in the easement area that we have near
[3:58] uh Dance with Me and their new parking
lot. It will connect uh to a public
[4:02] sidewalk uh that will ultimately connect
to the 13-mi road sidewalks and also the
[4:08] uh Baleette parking lot. uh low bid for
this project. We're very pleased. Uh 11
[4:13] total bids. So uh lot of interest uh in
the project. We had the bid opening uh
[4:18] in this room last week. And low bid bid
was Miller Bridge Construction out of
[4:22] Portland, Michigan for 175,503.
um as you'll notice in the uh packet is
[4:30] very very close to our estimates and uh
with that taken together with the design
[4:35] will be very close to that 200,000
overall project budget number we had. So
[4:40] we're pretty excited about it. Uh
[clears throat and cough] they're
[4:42] looking to start uh likely in October.
>> Anything that originally wasn't wood has
[4:50] been changed out to composite. Correct.
>> Uh composite and concrete deck. The deck
[4:54] will be concrete and the yeah structures
will be the composite. There's also
[4:59] electrical outlets so we can have
lighting on the bridge and so forth. And
[5:04] and and to be clear, it's not just the
bridge. The 175 is all the site work,
[5:07] the uh pilings, uh the sidewalk
connector pieces. So this is a you know
[5:13] out the door out the door uh price for
the whole whole project hooking up the
[5:17] wiring too. We already have the permits.
We've secured those uh with the state
[5:21] and the county as well.
any idea if they're going to beat the uh
[5:25] drain commission down there for their
work or
[5:28] » we've worked with the drain commission
pretty specifically on the permitting
[5:32] for this because of course it's a county
drain. Um so how that exact timing
[5:37] meshes out I can't really answer that
right now but they're they're working in
[5:41] conjunction with the drain commission on
it or at least our design team is. So
[5:45] and then if if this is awarded then of
course Miller Bridge will be as well.
[5:50] Now, they're in the bridge building,
right? Is there any way they could be
[5:54] looking at that Martindale project?
>> Uh, they didn't bid on that. Uh, they
[6:00] didn't bid on the Martindale one. That
that
[6:02] » Were they asked or whatever?
>> We've put the Martindale one out a
[6:06] couple of different times. I didn't ask
Miller, you know, specifically if that's
[6:09] what you're asking.
>> I mean, if that's their kind of uh what
[6:12] they do. I mean, it wouldn't hurt to I
mean, because there's only one bid on
[6:16] the other one.
>> Yeah. Happy to talk about that under
[6:19] under that agenda item if you'd like to.
>> Yeah.
[6:22] » Okay. When we when we get to that, I'll
we can talk about that.
[6:27] » All right.
>> So, if they if they start in October,
[6:30] when would the estimated finish date be?
>> Um, I'm not I'm not certain of that.
[6:35] » Okay.
Entertain [clears throat]
[6:41] a motion to award the bid to Miller
Bridge Construction in the amount of
[6:45] 175,53.
[6:49] » Take that motion.
>> Motion by Cummings.
[6:53] » I'll support
by Braybrook. Further discussion
[6:59] hearing none. All in favor?
Those opposed? Motion passes 70.
[7:09] Moving on, approval of USDA grant
borrowing application.
[7:14] » Okay. So, this is uh a process council
may be familiar with from uh the
[7:19] different uh borrowing uh and grant
projects we've done over the years uh
[7:23] with USDA and and other funders.
[snorts]
[7:26] Uh in 2020, the village uh completed its
saw report and analysis. Uh the sewer
[7:32] under Gardener Street uh was identified
at that time as nearing its uh maximum
[7:37] capacity. So as a reminder uh there's
three separate sewer lines underneath
[7:42] Gardener Street that all ultimately
connect collect the village uh sewer and
[7:47] convey it to the sewer plant. Um we did
apply with uh Congressman Molinar's
[7:52] office through the congressionally
directed spending and uh did receive a
[7:56] million dollars for uh this project. So
that doesn't come close to covering all
[8:00] of it, but we're pretty pretty excited
about that. So there's really two
[8:03] projects. We're going to use the CDS
funding along with village sewer fund
[8:08] savings to complete a portion of the
project from Martindale to the sewer
[8:12] plant. So that will happen uh either
way. We would like to uh complete the
[8:18] full project which would go from
Martindale to the almost to the lift
[8:21] station uh there on Gardener Street. So
that component of the project is another
[8:27] 6.27 27 million. Uh what we're applying
for is two things. One is the EDA grant
[8:33] request which has already been submitted
in the amount of $5 million and then
[8:37] there's a match associated with that uh
which we're proposing to do a USDA loan
[8:42] in the amount of $1,254,000.
So uh the USDA process uh so it's it's
[8:48] really twofold. It's it's you know
basically applying for the million
[8:52] dollars that's already been designated
uh for the village uh under the
[8:56] congressionally directed spending and
then a separate application uh for the
[9:00] loan to match the EDA grant if we get
the EDA grant. So uh we're very hopeful.
[9:05] We've been working on uh the EDA grant
uh with the United States Department of
[9:10] Economic Development uh for a number of
months since the council approved the
[9:14] bid with our design team. So we were
able to get that all turned in. So this
[9:18] is just a formal part in the process to
uh keep it moving
[9:22] » and there is no requirement to follow
through with the loan if the grant's not
[9:27] awarded. That correct?
>> That's right. Exactly. We but we do have
[9:30] to do this official step of the council
approving us uh submitting the grant and
[9:35] the loan application in order to keep uh
the grant application active with with
[9:39] the EDA. So, but yeah, if we're
ultimately unsuccessful, then we don't
[9:43] have to go through with the with the
loan or we could look at other funding
[9:47] options. But the good news is either
way, we'll at least be able to do a
[9:51] portion of the project. Uh this year
there's um what I would call a unique
[9:56] opportunity as far as the federal
funding goes with the EDA. Normally
[9:59] those funds are 6040. Uh this particular
pot of money is 8020 uh under that. So
[10:05] if uh at Kent County municipalities with
projects like this are eligible. So
[10:10] we're trying to take advantage of that
especially considering uh this is
[10:14] something that's been in our CIP,
you know, and identified with the SAW
[10:18] grant for or saw program for quite some
time. So if we're successful in this
[10:23] application, it'll be a big big deal for
the village. will not only have gotten
[10:26] the million dollars in congressionally
directed spending, but we'll have gotten
[10:30] uh 5 million in EDA funding, too, for
something that will ultimately serve the
[10:34] village for a long, long time. So, we're
pretty excited about it.
[10:40] Entertain a motion to approve the USDA
grant loan application for Gardener
[10:44] Street sewer collection system project.
>> I'll make that motion.
[10:49] » Motion by Carlstrom.
>> Support.
[10:52] » Support by Peebles. Any other
discussion?
[10:58] Hearing none. All in favor?
>> I.
[11:00] » Those opposed? Motion passes. 7.
That's the only question that I had.
[11:06] What happens if we didn't get
>> I was curious of that, too. Uh Martinale
[11:12] boardwalk repair bid.
>> Okay. And I'll ask uh William Hunter,
[11:16] our director of public works, to come to
the D and uh help me present this one.
[11:20] So, this has been a project that uh we
identified [clears throat] in our budget
[11:25] uh and have been having a little bit of
difficulty with the bid process. So, um
[11:29] I don't know if you overheard Councilman
Taylor's questions, but if you could
[11:32] kind of address those in your remarks,
we'd certainly appreciate it.
[11:35] » Yes, sir.
>> Okay. Floor is yours, Bill.
[11:38] » Okay. Thank you.
Uh in front of uh village council today
[11:44] is uh proposals actually from contractor
the loan bidder from the last RFP we did
[11:49] from Tucker Marine Construction. Uh
earlier this year or sorry beginning of
[11:55] last year we did put in a capital
improvement plan uh repair to Martinale
[11:59] Bridge. We identified like 40 linear
feet that seem to be heaving. Um I did
[12:04] at that time compare the plans to
existing conditions. uh the existing
[12:08] plan I mean the plans that we have in
place showed concrete footings and looks
[12:12] like they did just direct drive piling
drive which is typical probably for that
[12:17] area. I probably if I were looking at
plans I probably would have went that
[12:21] way too. Um but it does look like those
pilings heaved which actually tells me
[12:26] probably they weren't driven down far
enough and which the frost actually took
[12:30] it and heaved them. So we I put together
an RFP identifying that and I did offer
[12:35] the contractors that bid a copy of the
plan. So first time we went out for bid.
[12:40] I put an RFP together, released it June
29th, deadline of July 13th, I did get a
[12:45] few calls on it. There was one
contractor that said they would be way
[12:49] too expensive. They were calling from
the um Ohio, but they said call us if
[12:54] you don't get any bids. I didn't like
the way that sounded because they said
[12:57] they would have to put their people up
in a hotel. So I was like, "Well, I
[13:00] don't think that would be." So the
second time I went out for it, I thought
[13:04] a little bit outside the box. I thought,
"Well, this is basically kind of like a
[13:08] dock. So why don't they get hold of some
marine contractors, someone that puts in
[13:13] docking?" So we did. And that's when we
actually got some interest. And that's
[13:16] where that's what actually Tucker does
is they that's what they do. They they
[13:20] put in marine docks. Um there is one
change to the um to the uh the report in
[13:27] front of you. At the time I put the
report together, I didn't get a chance
[13:30] to call them. However, after the report
I did call them, they would be able to
[13:34] get this completed by October 31st. They
said they'd be able there and and kick
[13:39] it out within like two weeks. Um the
second time you can see actually we we
[13:45] the same amount we we reached out to our
people we know like Milbacher a couple
[13:50] of the Marines Bisser Dan's Escavating
JW Dirt Works JW dead work dirt Dirt
[13:56] Works did respond back to me. Uh they
regretted not being able to bid on it
[14:00] because they wanted engineering plans on
it and I understand that. They just
[14:04] didn't feel comfortable at this time.
So, so in front of the village council
[14:09] today is um a a proposal from Tucker
Marine for 44,500.
[14:15] We did budget
$50,000 in the CAP improvement plan, so
[14:20] we're under it by 5,500.
So, I'm here to answer any questions
[14:24] that council may have on this proposal.
>> So, will it be the exact same size? Is
[14:32] there any ability to like make it just a
little bit wider or No. Well, we I did
[14:36] look into that um uh to make it a little
wider. So, that would probably result in
[14:42] a in a full con reconstruction. I put
some cost together uh from what I could
[14:47] find for linear feet in those. And
you're looking at probably $800,000 to
[14:52] do that to make it a 10-ft bridge.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe
[14:54] matching up with the bike path. So, make
it a 10 foot through there and 10 foot
[14:58] back around because right now it's six
foot. But yeah, that's would be I mean
[15:02] that's something that council could
choose to do. I mean, that's something,
[15:05] but that that's a large that's a large
hit. And that 800,000 would be including
[15:10] actually we'd have to go back out for
bids. We'd have to have plans and
[15:12] engineering.
>> That's a huge number.
[15:15] » That's a big number. And I look at some
other scenarios, too. I looked at
[15:19] actually just re building the exact same
bridge in six foot and I've got cost
[15:24] together about 600,000. If we wanted to
build something even more robust,
[15:28] something maybe like similar to what
we're doing, Billy, you're probably
[15:33] looking at and something that could
maybe take some equipment over it,
[15:37] you're looking at about 1.1 million.
>> Why Why is it so expensive?
[15:43] » Well, it for actually because you
because you're looking at probably load
[15:46] depending on what kind of equipment we
choose to want it. If we wanted
[15:49] something like say for example 15,000
lbs then we'd have to do a load rating
[15:54] and probably steel more steel more
concrete to take the load. I doubt if
[15:58] that's something we want to consider
because really it's this is a pedestrian
[16:02] there's and we've never had equipment on
it before six foot. When we do clear
[16:07] snow on it uh we use actually a little
paddle blower and that's what we use on
[16:11] it to get it and that's been working
just fine
[16:15] I believe. So, [clears throat]
[16:19] » we're going to use pressuret treated
lumber though.
[16:22] » Yes, sir. That was what we bid on.
>> They thought of using composite. So,
[16:28] » I can ask them to alternate it, sir.
>> What's that?
[16:31] » I can ask them to alternate that. Yes,
>> it it'd be nice, I guess, to know what
[16:35] the difference would be. Just comp I
mean, you're one and you're done kind
[16:39] of.
[16:42] Did anybody consider a helical pure
anchor for [clears throat] the support?
[16:47] » Um, I didn't ask them actually of what
kind of they would anchor in. They're
[16:51] they're just going to drive it down. So,
I didn't give that kind of detailed
[16:54] other than the the proposal. I put the
RFP was generic. I wanted it actually
[16:58] them to come in and propose to me. So,
>> might be an interesting option.
[17:04] » Yep.
[17:08] Well, the bridge def definitely gets a
lot of use now with the
[17:12] » the trail through the school like
school.
[17:15] » I mean, it's probably increased 90%.
>> And with the heaving that's on there,
[17:21] » I mean, it's definitely something that
needs to be done.
[17:24] » Yes.
>> With the heaving on, if you're walking
[17:26] around a bike, it's hard to avoid
people.
[17:29] » Yeah. [clears throat] this last year.
Well, right when I was putting the
[17:32] budget together, you could really tell
when um 20 2024 when it started to eve.
[17:38] So,
[17:45] going back to the heel helical, I I
would have to ask them, but it might be
[17:49] a larger expense. I think they're
planning on just driving. They told me
[17:53] they were just going to drive until it
stops. That was what they were saying.
[17:57] You know, you know what you got though
when you got when you get there too.
[18:00] » Yeah.
>> You get a different result.
[18:09] » The council's pleasure.
[18:16] How far out do you think it put it to to
um
[18:22] see what the up cost is going to be for
composite bill? Um, how far it would
[18:27] take or
>> how long do you think it would take? I
[18:29] mean, it shouldn't take him, but
probably a phone call.
[18:31] » Yeah, it wouldn't take more than a phone
call, I would say, actually. Yeah.
[18:36] » Yeah. Wouldn't take more than a phone
call.
[18:38] » Everything's already specked out and all
they got to do is just
[18:41] » Well, they gave me a lump lump sum bid.
That's what I asked for.
[18:44] » So, I asked for just to repair what was
in place there.
[18:50] » So, just too late to ask that Miller
company to look at it. I mean, how Uh,
[18:55] how much longer is this bridge going to
last? I mean, I was across it the other
[19:00] day. It needs work, but it's
>> Well, I I I don't know if it's going to
[19:04] get worse. I I have no idea. I mean, it
could actually could get worse.
[19:10] » I mean, right now it don't meet I mean I
mean it it does it slopewise, cross
[19:14] slopewise actually on the bridge. It
it's beyond actually
[19:18] » it's okay for the kids to go to school
and everything walking there. I mean, we
[19:23] could ask them, but actually right now
it's a public meeting. We already kind
[19:26] of divulge what the price would be. So,
if I was a contractor, I just look on
[19:30] the agenda and go,
>> "Yep,
[19:32] » I'll give you 44,400."
>> It's been advertised a couple different
[19:37] times. I mean, it's
>> Yeah, it's just that they're going to be
[19:41] in town and they might just uh they're
in that business. So, I mean,
[19:49] doesn't hurt to ask this. I don't know.
This other company didn't know when they
[19:53] were going to get to it. Is that
correct?
[19:55] » No. No. I I I just stated, sir, they'd
be able to have it done actually by
[19:58] October 31st.
>> By when?
[20:00] » October 31st. Halloween.
>> October 31st.
[20:03] » They said they would kick it out in two
weeks.
[20:06] » Yeah. I really don't think we want to
lose this construction season.
[20:10] » No.
>> No.
[20:11] » And we don't want to put some out for
bid that a bid has already been
[20:13] disclosed. I mean, that's that's
improper bidding period. So,
[20:21] all right. Entertain a motion to approve
Tucker Marine Construction, which was
[20:24] the loan bid for the lump sum of 44,500.
I would like to add a contingency
[20:32] to approve it up to 50,000 what we
originally budgeted if they could do it
[20:37] with composite.
>> Yes, sir.
[20:41] [clears throat]
[20:44] » I'll make that motion. Motion by
Braybrook.
[20:48] » I'll support
>> support by Peebles. Any other
[20:51] discussion?
>> I think it's a good idea to check
[20:56] composite as well.
>> I I like your idea, Bill, but you know,
[21:00] with the fact that this has all been
disclosed online already. I mean, it's
[21:03] it's improper bidding at that point. So,
all right. Any other discussion?
[21:11] » All right. All in favor?
>> I.
[21:14] » Those opposed? Nay.
>> Motion passes 61.
[21:19] All right. At this time, we have an
executive session. Um, council will
[21:23] reconvene afterwards
and we will Oh, we need a motion to go
[21:29] into it.
>> Oh, motion to enter executive session. I
[21:33] haven't done one of these in so many
years that
[21:36] » Yep. So, we need a we need a motion and
a second as depicted on the agenda and
[21:40] it's a roll call.
>> Make that motion. Motion by Cummings.
[21:46] » A second.
>> Support by Braybrook. All in favor? No.
[21:49] Roll call. Roll call. Sorry.
>> I couldn't tell you how many years the
[21:53] village hasn't gone into an executive
session. Bill,
[21:57] » yes.
>> Christina,
[21:58] » yes.
>> Dave,
[21:59] » yes.
>> Randa,
[22:00] » yes.
>> Tom,
[22:01] » yes. Robert,
>> yes.
[22:03] » Yourself? Yes.
>> Okay. And for the benefit of the public,
[22:07] you can stay in this room. We're going
to use the conference room and we will
[22:09] come back.
[22:25] We can't take notes.
[24:41] one.
>> But yeah, I'll I'll make that part of my
[24:46] knowledge.
[24:55] [laughter]
>> Yeah, we did. too. So I can sing it.
[25:13] » It's just an excuse. I know. I really
[25:18] » I'm getting old.
>> Everybody's gonna go out there and screw
[25:21] this.
[25:26] Wait

[25:58] All right, small meeting back to order
at 8:17.
[26:08] This time I entertain a motion to
approve what was discussed in executive
[26:12] session.
>> We'll make that motion.
[26:14] » Motion by Brave Brook.
>> Support.
[26:17] » Support by Peeles.
All in favor?
[26:21] » I.
>> Those opposed? I
[26:24] » should passes by two.
[26:28] Moving on. Village manager report.
>> Uh nothing too much further to add. Just
[26:33] uh reminding the council that uh we have
the bids out for the Rogers Park
[26:38] bathroom and those will be considered at
the September meeting. So, we're pretty
[26:42] excited about that, too. There's been uh
quite a bit of interest uh in that
[26:46] project. Um and yeah, happy that the the
bridge project came together. I know
[26:51] that was a a lot involved with that. So,
happy to see that moving on and you
[26:56] know, happy to take any questions uh on
anything else. Anybody have any
[27:00] questions for the village manager?
>> Yeah. Are you going ahead with those uh
[27:06] vouchers?
>> Yep. Yep. Vouchers are going to go out
[27:09] for uh they'll be good for the month of
October. Uh last year we did them for
[27:13] two weeks. This year we're going to do
the whole the whole month of October.
[27:16] So, that'll be put out.
>> Why are we doing that?
[27:19] » What's that? Well, I mean, the township
does it in April,
[27:23] » right? Last year, we did ours in the
fall and we're kind of continuing.
[27:27] » I mean, why don't we do uh why do we
have to do it if the township has one?
[27:31] » Well, I guess we don't necessarily have
to if you guys would like not want to.
[27:36] Um I was under the impression the board
wanted to continue the voucher program.
[27:42] » I don't I don't know that we need to. I
mean, you said there wasn't very highly
[27:47] utilized last year. No, it was I mean it
was a decent amount of utilization. I
[27:50] mean, we've already got the V. I mean,
if you guys don't want to do it, that's
[27:53] fine.
>> Let's try it again to see what happens.
[27:56] » It was in the budget and everything. I
>> The cost of the village is only if
[28:00] somebody uses it,
>> right? So, let's try it. Let's
[28:02] » not like you're out anything, right?
>> It's a convenience. You got one whole
[28:06] month you can make a trip to the dome.
>> And did you say did did I read that they
[28:12] weren't going to be mailed out that they
can pick them up here whenever they
[28:15] want? Yeah, cuz last year what happened
was we mailed them out and you know what
[28:18] I mean? It kind of was a lot of postage
when not that many people used them. So
[28:21] now they'll be you know picked up. Other
other townships and and villages do the
[28:25] pickup method.
>> We thought we'd go over and above last
[28:28] year and mail them out and we you know
we did and it just uh people used them
[28:32] but not not as much as we would have
thought. But I was under the impression
[28:36] the board wanted to to continue the
vouchers.
[28:39] » That's what I thought.
>> Me too.
[28:40] » I think maybe we should talk about it
during budget this year. Yeah, we can we
[28:44] can talk about it. Yeah, during
>> we already got it in the budget for this
[28:46] year, but then for next year talk about
it again in our workshop.
[28:50] » Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, but if we don't
if you guys don't want to do it, I that
[28:54] now would be the time to make that
decision.
[28:56] » I mean, they got the option from the uh
township to do it and they did it right
[29:00] in town here. I mean, it was very
convenient. So, I mean, why are we, you
[29:05] know,
>> they handed out $25 to go there? I mean,
[29:09] they can go to that one. I'm just
saying.
[29:11] » Yeah. Yeah. No, I understand. I I was
under impression the board wanted to do
[29:15] the voucher program again.
That's not the case. That That's fine.
[29:19] We don't have to do it.
>> When do you need to know? But
[29:21] » now
I going out.
[29:24] » I mean, yeah, it's you already put the
word out.
[29:28] » Let's at least do it this year and then
talk about it at our budget meeting for
[29:31] next year.
>> Okay. Sounds good.
[29:34] » Consensus. Tom,
