Lincoln council approves $50,000 grant, contracts with NEMCOG to update master, recreation plans and zoning
Summary
On Oct. 7 the Lincoln Village Council voted to contract with the Northeast Michigan Council of Governments (NEMCOG) to use a $50,000 grant for a comprehensive update of the Master Plan, Recreation Plan and Village zoning ordinances; President Phillips authorized to sign the agreement.
The Lincoln Village Council on Oct. 7 voted to enter a contract with the Northeast Michigan Council of Governments to use a $50,000 grant to update the village Master Plan, Recreation Plan and its zoning ordinances.
Dorene Schick, who gave the RRC update to the council, moved that the village enter the contract and allow President Phillips to sign the necessary paperwork; Brett Wambold offered support. The motion carried on a roll-call vote: Durham, Lucas, Schick, Skuse and Wambold voted aye; there were no nays and Council Member Gauthier was absent.
Why it matters: updates to a municipal master plan and zoning ordinances guide local land use, recreation investments and future development decisions. According to the council, NEMCOG will hold the necessary meetings and guide the village through the full update process.
The transcript records that the agreement requires a signature by the Village President or Clerk; the council authorized President Phillips to sign. The motion and vote were presented as a formal contract authorization; no amendment or conditions to the contract were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The council did not record a public comment opposing the contract during the motion. Next steps noted by council members include executing the agreement with NEMCOG and scheduling the public meetings required for the plan updates.
