Allegan council approves rezoning, contracts and routine disbursements in Aug. 11 meeting
Summary
At its Aug. 11 meeting the Allegan City Council adopted Ordinance 530 to rezone 650 Grand Street, approved several purchase orders and a $50,830 change order, adopted Resolution 25.25 to amend the lighting contract, and approved accounts payable and payroll totaling $1,314,243.60.
The Allegan City Council on Aug. 11 adopted several routine and project-specific measures, including a rezoning ordinance and procurement approvals.
Ordinance and rezoning: Council completed the second reading and adopted Ordinance 530 to rezone 650 Grand Street to a planned unit development, a change staff said will allow the Community Action Agency of Allegan County to move most of its operations to the site. The mayor opened a public hearing, recorded no public comments and the ordinance was moved and adopted by voice vote.
Contracts and change orders: Council approved a change order to PO25-0768 for Abbot/Evan Marsh in the amount of $50,830 for additional TMF grant-related work and administration. It also approved PO 26-0819 to Consumers Energy for $3,272.95 and PO 26-0829 to Windham Mueller Electric for $37,095 to install underground East-West service lines as part of the Hubbard Street parking-lot work. Staff said HUD and USDA grant awards reduced the city’s share of the overall project cost and that the additional work raises the city’s final cost on the project to $365,233.94; staff presented that as a $53,694.46 savings off the prior projection.
Lighting contract resolution: Council adopted Resolution 25.25 to amend the city’s standard lighting contract with Consumers Energy to accommodate five pedestrian-style streetlights required by a new 42-home development at 500 Delano Street. Staff estimated the five lights would cost the city about $13 per month each.
Accounts payable and payroll: Council approved accounts payable of $1,191,685.78 and payroll of $122,557.82—for a combined disbursement of $1,314,243.60. During discussion a councilmember raised a question about a federal tax deposit filing issue; staff said they would follow up.
Procedure and votes: Nearly all measures were adopted by voice vote; the meeting transcript records motions being moved and supported and each motion passing. No roll-call tallies or divided votes were recorded in the transcript for these items.
What’s next: Items adopted take effect according to the city’s normal administrative processes; staff indicated follow-up reporting and implementation steps for the procurement and project items.
