Pinckney leaders report business openings, meter-radio rollout and a $2,000 DDA donation; resident urges communication during meter replacements
Summary
Council received updates March 9: several local businesses are opening, DPW will begin installing new meter radios in April, police confirmed road-closure permits for St. Patrick's Day, and Julie Amy reported a $2,000 donation to the DDA while Jim Jensen urged improved resident communication during meter-radio replacements.
Village leadership reported several community updates at the March 9 Village of Pinckney council meeting. President Buerman and other staff said the village is moving forward with new or soon-to-open businesses including Mugg Et Bopps, Taqueria Los Dos Potrillos and Grant's Place, and that the village plans to hire a third-party administrator to support operations.
DPW Director Moma told the council the Department of Public Works will begin installing new water meter radios in April, an infrastructure step the council later funded through a resolution transferring remaining ARPA funds. Chief Garrison confirmed road-closure permits are in place for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day festivities.
During the public forum, Julie Amy presented final numbers from the Recognition Dinner and said local business donations allowed organizers to write a $2,000 donation check to the DDA. Jim Jensen, who was later sworn in as a DDA member, told the council that communication with residents will be important to maintain safety while water meters and radios are replaced.
Also during public comment Mark Gatesman introduced himself as a candidate for the 44th District Court in Livingston County. Public comment sessions opened at 7:01 p.m. and closed at 7:05 p.m.; a second public forum later in the meeting ran from 7:55 to 7:58 p.m.
The minutes do not provide detailed timelines for the business openings, the third-party administrator role, or procurement specifications for the meter radios beyond the April installation start date.
