Flat Rock council approves permits, vacation payouts and purchase of water meters
Summary
Council approved three year‑end vacation payouts for department heads, accepted Wayne County maintenance and pavement permits, and authorized purchase of 48 one‑inch Badger residential meters from Blue Water Solutions; ordinance second reading was suspended and an ordinance approval carried by voice vote.
The Flat Rock City Council approved several routine items during the meeting, including three year‑end payouts, county permits and an equipment purchase.
Council approved payout of unused vacation time for three department heads — the police chief, animal shelter director Kat Thicke and the public works director Eric — by voice vote. No individual vote tallies were recorded on the transcript beyond unanimous 'aye' responses.
Public Works presented the Wayne County annual maintenance permit and the pavement replacement permit, both of which were approved. The council also approved an order of 48 one‑inch Badger residential water meters from Blue Water Solutions to supply the year's needs. A council member said the larger order this year covered the year's expected usage.
Separately, council moved to suspend the second reading of an ordinance amendment and then voted to approve the map‑related ordinance on voice votes. There were no roll‑call tallies on the record; members responded 'aye' to approve the items.
Next steps: implementation will be handled by relevant departments (finance for payouts, public works for permits and meter installation) and the items were presented as routine approvals during the meeting.
