Farwell council approves salt‑barn quote, DPW policy and small repairs; local bowling alley plans noted
Summary
Council approved a $44,245 Greystone salt‑barn quote up to a $50,945 budget limit, adopted a DPW 4‑10 work policy for summer help scheduling, authorized small DPW repairs and inspections, and noted a local business purchase.
The Village of Farwell approved several DPW-related purchases and policies at its April 21 meeting.
Trustee Amanda Pfruender moved to approve the Greystone salt barn quote for $44,245, up to the budgeted amount of $50,945; Trustee Marvin Frayer seconded and the motion carried on roll call. The council also approved the DPW 4‑10 work policy (motion by Trustee Victoria Williams, second by Trustee Amanda Pfruender; roll call: all yeas), which specifies that summer help will follow the same schedule as the employee Jason.
President Tracey Jackson, based on the DPW chair’s recommendation, approved a DuBois‑Cooper quote with removal of the washer for $1,999; authorized Jett Pump to inspect Lift Station #1; and approved a Moore Mechanical boiler repair quote for $1,435. The council also approved a JC Design invoice for $632.40 and authorized JC Design hourly work at $150 per hour not to exceed $900, citing a lack of other offers and time constraints as the reason for proceeding with a single quote in that instance.
Separately, the minutes record that Gateway Lanes purchased the former Dollar Daze location in Clare and plans to open it as a bowling alley. Council members took the listed DPW actions by recorded votes and authorized the inspections and repairs recommended by staff.
Next steps: procurement and scheduled repairs proceed under the approved authorizations; the council will monitor implementation through routine staff reports.
