Two resolutions were adopted. Resolution 2024-11 establishes a Fire Insurance Withholding Program; Councilmember Kerkes moved it and Councilmember Snyder seconded. Resolution 2024-12 adopts the exemption option under 2011 Public Act 152 (the Publicly Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act); Councilmember Snyder moved that resolution and Councilmember Kofflin seconded. Both passed on unanimous votes.
The council approved a three-year agreement with Advanced Rehabilitation Technology with a contract total not to exceed $180,000 and a 60-month agreement with CINTAS. Motions for those contracts were made and seconded as recorded in the minutes; both carried unanimously.
Finance business included approval of bills payable and payroll totaling $827,942.46. Councilmember Kofflin moved to pay the bills as presented; Councilmember Stafford seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
On the consent agenda, council approved routine items and several special-event permits including a Labor Day concert, the MHS homecoming parade, the Milan Fall Festival, Girls Night Out (Milan DDA) and a Trunk-or-Treat/Harvest Party by Milan Baptist Church. The Downtown Trick or Treat request from the Milan Area Chamber of Commerce was removed from the consent agenda before approval of the remaining items.
During the Mayor, Council and staff reports, Administrator Jim Lancaster announced that County Street is open and Plank Street is closed for work. Community Engagement Director Jill Tewsley previewed an upcoming Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra outreach activity at the next Third Thursday. Councilmembers made brief announcements about voting reminders, Relay for Life, thanks to election workers, a Parks & Recreation Spark Grant update, and the start of the previously approved “MMF” Swing Program.
