Paw Paw manager warns of April 28 utility shutoffs; police to run active‑shooter training after $8,400 donation
Summary
Village Manager Bryan Myrkle said April 27 that SolAmerica is selling its portfolio and that utility shutoffs for past‑due accounts will begin April 28; Police Chief Eric Rottman announced upcoming active‑shooter training with library staff and reported a $8,400 donation to buy ballistic shields.
Village Manager Bryan Myrkle told the council on April 27 that SolAmerica is selling its portfolio and that the first utility shutoffs of the season are scheduled for April 28 for accounts with past‑due balances.
Police Chief Eric Rottman said the department will conduct active‑shooter training with library staff next week and reported that the group 100+ Women Who Care recently donated $8,400 to the American Legion to buy ballistic shields for the department. Chief Rottman also noted he will be absent from the next council meeting.
Nut graf: The manager’s notice about utility shutoffs signals near‑term collection activity that could affect residents who are delinquent on payments. The Chiefs' training announcement and the donated funds for ballistic shields are operational updates related to department preparedness and equipment; the donation was reported as routed through the American Legion to procure shields for police use.
Council also heard community announcements including the farmers market opening May 17, the Maple Island Bridge grand opening on May 2 and the May 5 election featuring a Parks millage renewal on the ballot.
Ending: The minutes do not provide additional details about the SolAmerica sale, the number of accounts at risk of shutoff, or the procurement timeline for ballistic shields; those items would require follow‑up with staff for specifics.
