Northfield council notes new catering business, community events and cancels two holiday meetings
Summary
Councilmembers heard updates about a catering business moving into Summit Plaza, service-department operations and schedules, upcoming community events including an Oct. 29 Halloween party and Giving Tree donations, and approved canceling the Nov. 22 and Dec. 27 council meetings.
The Village of Northfield council heard a series of community and operational updates at its Oct. 25 regular meeting.
Mayor Jenn Domzalski told council that Copper Duck, a food catering business, will be moving into part of the former Scoreboard's space at Summit Plaza; the mayor said the business will not serve food on the premises or be open to the public. Finance Director and Clerk Jennifer Potvin said she had distributed financial statements through Sept. 30 and reminded council the third budget amendment for 2023 was on the agenda.
Engineer Daniel Collins said responses to the Village’s RFQ for architectural design-build teams for a new Administration Building are due Friday, Oct. 27; Collins also thanked those who responded to a Bay-Pointe email survey. Service Department Superintendent Jason Walters reported that the second new Ford F-600 has arrived, crack sealing and asphalt work for the year are complete, and leaf pickup will begin when there are full loads; he noted the department plans repair work on Rt. 8 in spring. Walters presented a 30-day quote for an electric ground sign at 199 Ledge Building; council deferred the item for consideration in next year’s budget.
Recreation Board plans include a Halloween party and haunted house on Sunday, Oct. 29 at Village Hall from 5 to 7 p.m. (coinciding with Trick-or-Treating), free pizza and hot dogs at the party, and a Giving Tree program (anonymous sign-ups; ornaments available Nov. 20; unwrapped gifts due back by Dec. 8; recipient pick-up Dec. 12–15). Council discussed these items but took no formal action on program details.
Councilmember Nick Magistrelli warned residents about a phone fraud scheme using the Spectrum name that promises a three-year partial rebate and seeks money and personal information; the minutes advise residents to be wary. Council then voted to cancel the Nov. 22 and Dec. 27 regular council meetings, as is the village’s usual practice for the holidays. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
