Gladwin City Council certifies warrants, approves street closures for local events and notes change to office hours
Summary
On June 16 the Gladwin City Council approved warrants totaling $96,613.41, approved street closures for Paint the Pavement, the Gladwin County Fair Parade and the Summer Street Fest, and heard an information-only proposal to shift City Hall to staggered four 10-hour workdays with new public hours of 7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
The Gladwin City Council certified warrants dated June 3–June 16, 2025 totaling $96,613.41, approved payroll ending June 11, 2025 of $42,507.02 and council payroll of $2,405.16 by a 6-1 vote with one member absent.
Council Member Platt moved to approve the warrants and Council Member Winarski supported the motion; the meeting record shows six ayes, one nay and one absent. The record lists the dollar amounts explicitly: $96,613.41 for warrants; $42,507.02 for payroll; and $2,405.16 for council payroll.
The council also approved three event-related street closures. The clerk presented a request from Northern Michigan Alliance for Children to close part of the street in front of the elementary school for the organization’s “Paint the Pavement” event; Council Member Gutierrez moved and Council Member Darlington supported approval, which passed seven ayes, one absent. A request to close M-61 for the Gladwin County Fair Parade was approved on the same tally after a request from the clerk. Separately, the council approved a street closure for the Summer Street Fest by motion of Council Member Gutierrez, supported by Council Member Esiline; that measure also passed seven ayes, one absent.
Interim City Manager Kimberly Hines provided information about a proposed change in City Hall office hours—shifting to staggered four 10-hour day schedules for staff, which would change public hours from 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.—but this item was information only and did not require a council vote.
Administrators reported the Committee of the Whole meeting will move to June 25, 2025, department heads will begin presenting departmental reports at council meetings and the Downtown Development Authority approved its Capital Improvement Plan. City Clerk Marietta Andrist reminded the council there is no meeting July 7; the treasurer said the fiscal year ends June 30 and that the June 25 meeting will address budget amendments. The meeting adjourned at 5:59 p.m.
Votes and approvals recorded at this meeting affect scheduling and event logistics but do not create new ordinances or code changes; required permits and operational details for closures were not discussed on the record.
