Springport workshop schedules landlord meeting, previews three motions for Thursday council agenda
Summary
At a March 11, 2025 Springport Village Council workshop, officials reviewed routine reports and discussed a purchase offer and village properties. A landlord meeting about rental inspections was set for March 20, and three items — an engagement letter with Gabridge & Co., a Municipal Finance Advisors motion, and a Reliability Study/General Plan motion — were placed on the March 13 agenda for formal action.
SPRINGPORT — The Springport Village Council held a workshop on March 11, 2025, reviewing routine financial and operations reports and previewing several items for formal action at the council meeting on March 13.
President Barnette called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m., and Clerk/Treasurer Theresa Woolworth recorded the attendance of council members Barnette, J. Bartley, K. Bartley, Cavazos, Severns, A. Ward and C. Ward. One member of the public, Alex Cook, was listed as present.
Village Manager Saylors presented the manager’s report and Collin Hawes submitted the Department of Public Works report for February 2025. The transcript does not itemize the reports’ line items or dollar figures.
Council discussed delinquent accounts for March 2025 and reviewed the February account balances and disbursements; the workshop record does not specify amounts or individual account details. The meeting record notes the council reviewed disbursements for February 2025 but does not record any votes or motions on those items.
Under correspondence, the council discussed a purchase offer; the transcript records the discussion but provides no purchaser name, property description, or financial terms. In unfinished business, council members discussed village properties and the rental-inspections program and scheduled a landlord meeting for March 20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. — a preparatory step ahead of any formal action on rental-inspection policy.
In new business the council previewed three items that were placed on the Thursday (March 13) council agenda for formal action: signatures for an engagement letter with accounting firm Gabridge & Co., a motion regarding Municipal Finance Advisors, and a motion concerning a Reliability Study and the village’s General Plan. The workshop record indicates signatures and motions are expected on Thursday but does not record final votes or adopted ordinances at this session.
President Barnette adjourned the workshop at 8:20 p.m. The minutes were noted as subject to approval at the next council meeting. The council announced upcoming public meetings for March 13, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. (council meeting) and April 8, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. (workshop).
