Summary
Council adopted several resolutions tied to SRF authorized signatories, a pay order to engineering contractors, declared a DPW gator surplus, extended a professional services agreement with the Lake Superior Community Partnership for $58,958.34, and approved special-event permits.
At its October meeting, the Ishpeming City Council adopted multiple resolutions and approved a professional services contract and routine agenda items.
The council adopted Resolution 28-25 and Resolution 29-25 to update the names of authorized personnel associated with the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). It also adopted Resolution 31-2025 to opt out of a Public Act 152 cap option (choosing option 3) related to health insurance and selected option 3 by voice vote.
Council approved a pay order recorded as Resolution 30-2025 to authorize payment to engineering and construction firms named in the packet, including UP Engineers, Lindbergh and Sons, and Payne and Dolan. Council also declared DPW unit 'gator number 161' surplus and authorized staff to include the unit in an upcoming auction.
On a separate item, council considered and approved an extension of a professional services agreement with the Lake Superior Community Partnership (LSCP). The council voted to extend the agreement at $58,958.34 with funding coming from the general fund; the contract was described as multi-year with costs spread across years and deliverables tied to business and marketing support for small businesses and community economic-development efforts.
In new business, the council approved two special-event applications — the community's Christmas festivities/parade and the UPCross event — and confirmed several appointments on the consent agenda (Carrie Meyer and Bryce Trimmer to the DDA; Julie Luman to the Housing Commission). All recorded motions in these agenda items passed by voice vote.
