Village of Luther adopts resolution to add Mill Pond Park bridge to county grant; accepts financial report
Summary
At a Jan. 14 special meeting the Village of Luther council adopted Resolution 25-01-01 to add a bridge at Mill Pond Park to a county RPA grant application, accepted the December 2024 financial report, and approved a revised blight ordinance to postpone enforcement on campers and motorhomes.
The Village of Luther Council adopted Resolution 25‑01‑01 on Jan. 14 to add a bridge at Mill Pond Park to the county RPA grant application and accepted its December 2024 financial report.
Michelle Goodman told the council she and Tiffany Clark met with county staff to reapply for the RPA grant and said the county portion could be roughly $70,000 if the village does not need to return federal funds. Clerk Carrie Fansler read Resolution 25‑01‑01; Brittany Carlson moved to resolve in favor of adding the bridge to the county grant and the council carried the motion by roll call vote.
The council reviewed the village’s December 2024 financial report, which showed balances of General Fund $171,691.92; Major Street Fund $92,296.59; Local Street Fund $82,347.52; Payroll Fund $5,551.67; Petty Cash $1,406.58; and Park Improvement Fund $24,013.45. Council members voted to accept the report as presented after a motion by Carlson and second by Connie Holmes.
The council also addressed enforcement language in its blight ordinance. Goodman reported that the ordinance committee met and chose to exclude campers and motorhomes from enforcement at this time. Connie Holmes moved, James Bacon seconded to proceed with the revised ordinance as presented; the motion carried unanimously.
The meeting record shows the council approved routine business including the agenda, minutes and presented bills. A separate roll call to approve vendor bills was held and recorded as carried.
Next steps noted in the meeting: Goodman requested a copy of the Fairbanks Park deed to support the county grant application; Fansler said she will contact the village’s accounting contractor (UHY) to confirm whether federal ARPA funds must be returned. The council will revisit committee assignments, including the Village’s fireboard representative, at its March meeting.
