The Village of Peck council on Nov. 20 approved several administrative and infrastructure actions, including a Tax Increment Financing consulting contract and tiered employee Christmas bonuses, and voted to reduce the size of the council to five members.
Mayor Pro-Tem David Tyler moved to approve a TIF consulting contract for a neighborhood enhancement program; Trustee Phronsie Warren seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The contract is intended to support neighborhood enhancement work tied to a TIF structure; the transcript records approval but does not state the contract value or consultant scope beyond the program name.
The council approved Christmas bonuses for village employees in a tiered structure: full-time $1,200; part-time $800; employees with 201 hours and up $600; and employees with 101–200 hours $300. The motion, moved by Mayor Pro-Tem David Tyler and seconded by Trustee Andrew Warren, carried with four ayes and one abstention (Trustee Phronsie Warren).
In a governance change, the council voted to reduce its membership to five members and directed staff to update the ordinance accordingly. The motion, moved by Mayor Pro-Tem David Tyler and seconded by Trustee Phronsie Warren, passed 4–1 with Trustee Craig Wissel voting no.
The council also authorized the engineering firm Fleis & Vandenbrink to work on the village’s water and sewer project that is approved for EPA grant funding; the motion carried unanimously. The transcript notes the project has EPA grant money but does not include funding amounts, contract terms or a schedule.
Other routine items approved or recorded included minutes from the Oct. 16 meeting, the agenda and cash disbursements. Sanilac County Commissioner Christine Lee presented a report to the council; the transcript records that the report was presented but provides no details of its content. Supervisor Tim Heiden presented zoning violations and his supervisor’s report; the transcript lists those items without substantive specifics.
The meeting opened at 7:00 p.m. and adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
