Farwell council weighs Mill Pond camera quote, approves Pond invoice amid turtle safety concerns
Summary
Clerk/Treasurer Ross flagged an Open House for the Master Plan and staff presented a Blutech camera quote of $31,380 for Mill Pond; the council also approved a Mill Pond invoice for $9,000 and residents raised concerns about turtles crossing by the pond.
Mill Pond matters — including a proposal to add cameras and an invoice approval — were on the Village of Farwell’s agenda April 21, and residents raised concerns about wildlife safety.
Clerk/Treasurer Ross reminded the council of a Master Plan Open House scheduled for April 22, 2025. During staff reports, 'Lisa' presented a Blutech quote of $31,380 to add cameras to the Mill Pond project. Later in the meeting the council approved The Mill Pond Invoice 73100 in the amount of $9,000 (motion by Trustee Gina Hamilton; second by Trustee Marvin Frayer; roll call: all yeas).
During extended public comment residents raised concerns about turtles crossing near the Mill Pond, prompting council discussion of cameras and pond maintenance. The minutes do not record a council vote to install cameras, only that a quote was presented for council consideration.
Next steps: invoice payment recorded; further action on camera installation would require additional council direction or a future agenda item.
