The South Lyon City Council recorded several formal actions on April 14. Below are the motions, vote outcomes and key details taken from the meeting record.
• BP Products of North America access agreement — approved. Motion: Approve an access agreement allowing BP Products of North America (BPPNA) to install soil-gas sampling points on city-owned property at 138 South Lafayette. Mover/Second: Councilmember Alex Hansen moved; second by Councilmember Mosher. Vote: Roll-call recorded as unanimous "Yes" from the council members present. Key details: The new sampling points are quarter-inch tubing with fine mesh screens; BPPNA representatives said the request responds to an EGLE site-investigation requirement. The company will install two sampling locations with two depths at each location (two openings total) and the covers are flush-mounted to avoid interference with parking or events. The proposed access agreement was modified to require restoration of the property and to prevent assignment of the agreement without the city's consent.
• Stormwater management operations and maintenance agreement with SK Realty LLC — approved. Motion: Approve the stormwater management operations and maintenance agreement requiring the property owner to follow an approved maintenance plan and allowing the city to inspect and, if necessary, perform maintenance and charge the owner. Mover/Second: Motion by Councilmember Mosher; second recorded. Vote: Approved by roll-call. Key detail: Council discussed who will record the agreement with the county register of deeds; city staff said they will follow up to confirm whether the owner or the city records the document.
• Eagle Heights paving contract (2025 Road Improvement Program) — approved. Motion: Award 2025 road improvement program (Eagle Heights subdivision) to Federal Paving Inc. of Auburn Hills in the amount of $1,758,914.02 (account number 2044511802). Mover/Second: Motion by Councilmember Hansen; second by Councilmember Kurzweil. Vote: Approved by roll-call. Key details: The city received 11 bids ranging from about $1.7 million to $2.3 million; Federal Paving was the lowest responsive bidder. Work is expected to begin after June 1 with a preconstruction meeting and resident meeting; estimated completion target is before Labor Day. Staff reported roughly $1 million remaining in the road fund after this project, and the city plans to activate planned bond funds for next-year projects.
• Appointment to Huron River Watershed Council Board of Directors — approved. Motion: Appoint Alex Hansen as city representative and Suzanne Martin as alternate representative to the Huron River Watershed Council Board of Directors. Mover/Second: Motion by Councilmember Bogart; second by Councilmember Dilg. Vote: Approved by roll-call. Key detail: Councilmembers noted the representative will report back on quarterly meetings and watershed information for the city.
Each of these items was included on the meeting's New Business agenda and approved by roll-call votes recorded by City Clerk Deaton.
