Springport council workshop reviews budget resolutions, insurance premium and contract language
Summary
At its Feb. 10 workshop, the Springport Village Council discussed budget adoption and amendment resolutions, asked staff to seek clarification on an insurance premium increase, began research into rental inspection companies and requested changes to MasTec contract language; no votes were recorded.
The Springport Village Council met in workshop on Feb. 10, 2026, to review administrative and fiscal items on its agenda. President Barnette called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.; the clerk/treasurer recorded five council members present and two absent.
Manager Saylors presented the manager’s report for February 2026 and notified the council she is researching options for rental inspection companies as part of a rental inspection fees review. DPW Superintendent Collin Hawes submitted his February DPW report, and the clerk/treasurer led the council in reviewing delinquent accounts and January 2026 account balances and disbursements.
Council members discussed several items listed under unfinished and new business. The council reviewed matters related to MSHDA and three budget-related resolutions on the agenda — Resolution 26-1 (budget adoption), Resolution 26-2 (budget amendment) and Resolution 26-3 (MDOT project). The minutes record discussion of these resolutions but do not record any formal motions or votes on them during the workshop.
On insurance, Manager Saylors said she will contact the village’s MML representative to ask questions about an increase in the annual premium and report back to the council. The minutes use the acronym “MML” without spelling out the organization’s full name.
Council members requested changes to language in the MasTec contract; the minutes note the request but do not specify the exact edits sought. The council also discussed village-owned properties; details of that discussion are not specified in the minutes.
There were no public comments recorded. President Barnette adjourned the workshop at 8:40 p.m. The minutes state they are subject to approval at the next council meeting on Feb. 12, 2026.
