Greenville council accepts Administrative Consent Order with EGLE after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on legal correspondence, the Greenville City Council unanimously accepted an Administrative Consent Order intended to resolve disputes with EGLE over the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. The council reconvened at 8:50 p.m. and approved the order without recorded dissent.
Mayor Mark Lehman called the Greenville City Council to order on Sept. 20, 2022; after an executive session dealing with legal correspondence related to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, the council unanimously accepted an Administrative Consent Order intended to resolve outstanding disputes with EGLE (the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy).
Councilperson Moss moved to accept “the Administrative Consent Order as now proposed that would resolve all the disputes between EGLE and The City regarding the Wastewater Treatment Plant,” and Councilperson Cunliffe seconded. The motion was adopted unanimously after the council returned from executive session at 8:50 p.m.
The action followed a closed discussion the council held beginning at 8:01 p.m.; minutes show the council entered executive session to review legal correspondence connected to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The motion to enter the executive session was made by Councilperson Moss and seconded by Councilperson Johnson and was adopted without recorded opposition.
The council’s public record for the meeting does not include the text of the Administrative Consent Order in full; the agenda item and subsequent motion indicate the order’s purpose is to resolve disputes between the city and EGLE. The record does not specify any additional conditions, timelines, or implementation steps for the order in the meeting minutes.
The council adjourned at 8:52 p.m. following the vote. The city clerk’s signed minutes for this meeting list Mayor Mark Lehman and Clerk/Finance Director Norice Rasmussen as official signatories.
