Harrisville Council pledges up to $40,000 for Mill Pond Park dredging after presentation
Summary
After a presentation on planned improvements and permit progress, the City of Harrisville agreed to cover dredging costs for Mill Pond Park up to $40,000, approving the funding 6-0 and directing work to continue on park improvements.
Ed Chrumka presented the City of Harrisville Council with a plan for Mill Pond Park improvements on June 9, outlining steps already taken, progress toward a dredging permit and a draft budget for the project.
After the presentation, Alderman Vanderheuel moved and Alderman Schwanz seconded a motion for the city to cover dredging costs not to exceed $40,000. The motion carried 6-0.
The council’s funding authorization covers dredging only; Chrumka’s presentation included additional park improvements and a draft budget, and council discussion focused on permit progress and next steps. No additional appropriations beyond the $40,000 dredging cap were approved at the meeting.
The decision follows council discussion earlier about the project timeline and regulatory steps; council members asked staff to continue work toward obtaining the required dredging permit and completing the park improvement budget. The council did not set a specific construction start date during the June 9 meeting.
The council adjourned at 7:43 p.m.; further steps on Mill Pond Park will be handled by staff and project leads as they pursue permit approval and finalize contractor bids.
