Milan reports Nature Park progress, pension grant award and community events at council meeting
Summary
City officials told the council that Nature Park work is progressing, Treasurer Sarah Finch said the city received a pension grant (with no immediate general-fund impact), and Community Engagement Director Jill Tewsley announced a 4th Annual Marathon Fundraiser and a part-time hire to support Main Street.
City staff and council members used the Aug. 1 meeting to share updates on parks, grants and community events.
City Administrator Jim Lancaster reported that work on Nature Park is progressing. City Treasurer Sarah Finch informed the council that the city had been awarded a pension grant and said it would not immediately affect the general fund but would be helpful over the long term. The minutes do not specify the grant amount or source.
Community Engagement Director Jill Tewsley announced the 4th Annual Marathon Fundraiser, describing an event that will watch the seven seasons of the Golden Girls non-stop for 24 hours across four days and inviting public participation. Tewsley also reported that Jessica Meingasner has been hired part time to assist the Main Street board; Meingasner had also submitted a resignation from DDA/Main Street earlier in the consent agenda (the minutes record both a resignation and a hiring report). Councilmembers congratulated the fire department on a new truck and noted the department will donate its used truck to a smaller department in northern Michigan. Councilmember Kofflin said he was appointed to a Climate Implementation Plan task force.
The minutes record these items as informational reports rather than motions or formal decisions.
