Greenville council approves consent agenda, event license, equipment purchases and contracts

The Greenville City Council on Dec. 19 approved a package of routine items, including the Consent Agenda, a special-event license application, equipment purchases and several contracts.

During the Statement of Citizens, resident Kevin Carlson asked about the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) project timeline and whether the council would conduct an inspection; the transcript records the question but does not record a response.

The Consent Agenda — which included approval of previous meeting minutes, payroll and accounts payable reports, several board appointments, and setting a Jan. 16, 2024 public hearing on a zoning ordinance amendment regarding adult foster care facilities — was moved by Councilperson Moss and seconded by Councilperson Cunliffe and approved unanimously.

Other actions approved without recorded debate included Resolution No. 23-16 authorizing application for a Special License for a Murder Mystery Dinner Theater hosted by the Greenville Area Community Center on Jan. 26–27, 2024; the purchase of fire suppression equipment from Allied Fire Sales and Service, LLC for up to $3,426.00 for the Public Safety Department; an amendment to the street lighting contract with Consumers Energy to add lights at Hollyhock/Parkwood and Hollyhock/Strauss intersections; a Consumers Energy contract to relocate a power pole for the Lot #3 expansion in an amount not to exceed $4,270; and a two-year street sweeping contract awarded to SCA of MI, LLC with the per-section monthly and special-event hourly rates recorded in the minutes.

Each of those motions passed unanimously. The council adjourned at 7:43 p.m.
