Residents report thefts and M‑26 business project; council hears concerns about parking and rental water bills
Summary
During public comment at the Oct. 2 South Range council meeting residents reported multiple thefts in town, a property owner described a stolen item, a developer outlined a new M‑26 project that will relocate snowmobile parking, and a resident raised concerns about not receiving renters' water-bill copies.
Residents used the public-comment period at the Oct. 2 Village of South Range meeting to raise neighborhood concerns and update the council on a new M‑26 business project.
Resident B. Garbacz informed the council that an item had been stolen from his yard; multiple other residents then described other theft incidents around town, prompting brief discussion among council members about local property crime. No formal follow-up action or investigative assignment is recorded in the minutes.
M. Franchi described a new project on M‑26 and said snowmobile parking for that operation will be moved from the baseball field pavilion to a new parking lot on M‑26. Public works staff discussed trash-collection options and plowing plans for the new business, describing operational considerations rather than formal approvals.
Resident K. Jutila expressed frustration that she is not receiving copies of her renters' water bills. The minutes record her complaint but do not record a clerk or staff reply or a scheduled follow-up in the record.
These concerns were raised before the council moved into routine agenda business including approval of minutes, bills and project closeout reporting. The minutes do not show that the council took formal action on thefts or the rental-billing complaint at the Oct. 2 meeting.
