Service director proposes joint paving with Fifth Third Bank and Eagles Club; easement search underway
Summary
Safety and service director told council a potential joint repaving of the municipal parking lot with Fifth Third Bank and the Eagles Club could cost about $74,000 total, with the village’s share roughly $51,000; an easement agreement from 1981 needs to be located and law director will search county records.
The village’s safety and service director reported May 22 on a potential joint project to repave a municipal parking lot that includes three parcels — one owned by Fifth Third Bank, one owned by the village, and one owned by the Eagles Club.
Director Williams told council the city agreed in 1981 to an easement with the Eagles Club that required the city to maintain and pave the club’s portion of the lot in perpetuity, but staff have been unable to find a recorded copy. Williams said he forwarded the matter to the law director, who will search the county recorder’s records and advise whether the village needs to obtain a signed copy of the easement agreement.
The director estimated the total cost to repave all parcels at about $74,000: approximately $51,000 for the village’s two parcels (one village-owned and one covered by the easement) and about $22,000 for the Eagles Club parcel. Williams said the project is slightly under state bid limits but exceeds the council’s previously approved local bid threshold, and he asked whether council would consider a temporary suspension of bidding rules to allow a single contractor to pave the contiguous area.
Council agreed to place the item on the Committee of the Whole agenda for further discussion at a subsequent meeting; no formal vote to expend funds was taken at the May 22 meeting.
