Peck council approves police policies, account signatory changes and several grant-backed projects
Summary
At its Aug. 21 meeting the Village of Peck council approved domestic violence and active-shooter policies, delegated authority for police policy edits, removed a former signatory from bank accounts, and approved multiple grant-funded building and sidewalk projects; the Title VI Plan was moved for wording changes and the intern program passed with two nays.
The Village of Peck Regular Council on Aug. 21 approved a slate of policy updates, banking signatory changes and grant-backed projects, and delegated limited authority to local police leaders to adjust departmental policies as long as changes are later reported to the council.
President Carie Bennett convened the meeting at 7:03 p.m. and the council recorded attendance and routine approvals, including the July 17, 2024 minutes and the meeting agenda. Trustee David Tyler moved to approve the minutes; Phronsie Warren seconded and the motion carried.
Why it matters: the actions bundle public-safety policy updates and small capital projects paid through grants or existing village funds, affecting how the police department documents and how village facilities are repaired or upgraded.
Policy and public safety decisions: The council approved Chapter 25 (domestic violence policy) and Chapter 26 (active shooter response policy) with corrections to the policies' review dates. Trustee Phronsie Warren moved both approvals and Trustee Andrew Warren seconded; recorded votes were all in favor. The council also approved the Peck Police Department fee schedule as presented and adopted a Mutual Assistance agreement with the Sanilac County Sheriff’s Department as Resolution 15-2024.
Delegation for policy edits: Trustee David Tyler moved, and Trustee Phronsie Warren seconded, a motion allowing the police chair and the police chief to make changes to police policies "as they see fit" provided those changes are subsequently reported to the council; the motion carried with recorded ayes.
Banking and personnel items: The council voted to remove Angela Van Sickle from Team One Credit Union, Thumb Bank & Trust, and Tri-County bank accounts following motions by Trustee Phronsie Warren and seconds by Trustee Andrew Warren; the motions carried. The council approved an intern program (motion by Trustee David Tyler, second by Trustee Jason Fretenborough); recorded votes show Trustees Andrew Warren and Phronsie Warren voted Nay and the motion nonetheless carried.
Planning, permits and projects: The council adopted Resolution 13-2024, the Peck recreation plan, and approved a Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) permit as Resolution 14-2024. The council approved three grant-funded facility repairs: window replacement at village hall/community center for $5,988.09, a hot water heater for the community center for $3,534.82, and a mini-split heat/cool system for the DPW office for $4,293.81. Separately, the council approved $19,700 in engineering fees to Fleis & Vandenbrink for the FDCVT grant for downtown sidewalk replacement.
Process note: Trustee David Tyler moved to table the Title VI Plan until wording is corrected; the minutes record the motion but do not provide a recorded vote or final disposition in these minutes.
The meeting closed after routine business; Trustee Phronsie Warren moved, Trustee Tiffany Surbrook seconded to adjourn and the meeting ended at 7:47 p.m.
Attendance and record: Secretarial duties were provided by Christine Risdon, Village Clerk; DPW Supervisor Jeff Warren was listed as present. Sanilac County Commissioner Christine Lee was noted as not present.
