Michigan City officials seek demolition of old Michigan School; county asks legal review on burying bricks
Summary
Michigan City Superintendent and a council member told the Nelson County Commission that a Hutterite demolition bid for the old Michigan School depends on where bricks must be hauled; the commission directed States Attorney Jayme Tenneson to research whether the county landfill quarter can be used to bury the bricks.
Representatives of Michigan City asked the Nelson County Commission to consider logistics for demolishing the old Michigan School building and disposing of demolition debris.
Scott Gilbertson, Michigan City Superintendent, and Jay Vasichek, a Michigan City council member, reported that a bid from the Hutterite community to demolish the school is contingent on where brick material would be hauled. The commission discussed options and directed County States Attorney Jayme Tenneson to research the legalities of burying bricks on the county landfill quarter.
No formal motion to approve demolition or to authorize disposal at the landfill was recorded; the commission instead requested legal guidance to determine what may legally be placed on the landfill property. Commissioners also discussed related follow-up steps should burial be permitted, but no final disposal decision was documented at the meeting.
