South Range council discusses lead-service bidding, charter update and FOIA director appointment
Summary
President Eakin told council the Village Charter needs updating and the council must appoint a committee and a FOIA director; Eakin and Street Commissioner Burkman met with OHM about bid procedures for lead-service pipe replacement and procurement steps.
President Eakin used the June 13 meeting to flag several governance and planning items the council must address, including updating the Village Charter and naming a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) director.
Eakin asked council members to read emailed materials and the Municipal Official Handbook before future meetings, and said the charter will require a formal committee to begin updates. He also reported meeting with Street Commissioner Burkman and engineering firm OHM to discuss the bid process for upcoming lead-service pipe work.
Clerk Kristen Archambeau told the council the Michigan Department of Transportation annual report was completed and submitted; she said she will next prepare the Water Quality Report and a parade permit application. No formal motion on charter revision or FOIA appointment was recorded at the meeting; council discussion focused on next steps and assigning follow-up work.
Council members did not act to appoint a charter committee or a FOIA director at this session; the minutes record that the council plans further work and consultation with partners as needed.
