Council authorizes administrator to pursue funding after $80,000 survey quote for village-wide mapping
Summary
The Village Administrator said Environmental Design Group quoted roughly $80,000 to survey the entire village; the council approved a motion for the administrator to pursue grants or other funding and to begin phased work as funding allows.
At the November meeting the Village Administrator reported that Environmental Design Group had provided a quote of about $80,000 to survey the entire village and asked council permission to pursue funding opportunities and grants to pay for the work.
Tammy said the work could be broken into four phases if the council preferred to start smaller, but that staff wanted authorization to seek grant funding or other sources to cover the full survey. She asked the council for a roll-call vote to permit pursuing funding; the motion to explore funding for Environmental Design Group to survey the rest of the village was seconded and approved by the members present.
Why it matters: a full, village‑wide survey would create a contemporary base map supporting future engineering projects (sidewalk replacements, sewer rehabilitation and other public-works priorities). Tammy said staff will also consider starting with the smaller area that currently needs correction (Ripple Lane) while pursuing broader funding.
The transcript records the quote as "about $80,000." The motion approved in the meeting authorizes staff to seek grants and other funding mechanisms; no funding source or commitment was identified in the meeting record. Council instructed staff to return with more detailed cost breakdowns and potential funding options for future consideration.
