Votes at a glance: water rates, historical marker grant and MDOT permit approved
Summary
At the meeting the council approved a water rate increase, pledged village funds for a historical marker repair grant and renewed an annual MDOT load/permit; roll-call results were recorded for each vote.
The Village of Saint Charles Village Council recorded three formal actions at the meeting:
1) Water-rate resolution — approved (roll-call vote 6–1). The council approved a resolution to raise water rates by $10 per quarter (about $40 per year). Paul Jandripski voted no; six members voted yes. The council discussed fund projections, the need for local match on projects and a phased approach to increases; staff said the change will take effect in May (effective date not fully specified).
2) Historical marker repair and replacement grant — approved (roll-call vote: 6–1). The council approved using $1,620 from the parks budget as the village’s match to a state historical commission grant to replace and relocate the Coal Miner’s Park historical marker. The Michigan Historical Commission will cover the remaining estimated cost; the village parks committee will recommend the final siting before the next council meeting.
3) MDOT annual load/permit renewal — approved (unanimous roll-call recorded as yes votes). Council approved annual renewal of the MDOT permit used for parades and temporary road uses; staff said the permit facilitates future parades and events that require temporary access to state-controlled rights-of-way.
Each item received a recorded roll-call vote in the meeting transcript. No ordinances were read on second reading during this meeting; the three items above were recorded as resolutions or routine approvals.
