Summary
At its June 24 meeting the Bellevue Village Council approved the Eaton County Multi‑Mitigation Plan, accepted a $115,310 bid from K & C Excavating for the Jefferson Park Multi‑Sport Court using Eaton County grant funds, and voted to place a Fire Protection Special Assessment millage on the next available ballot.
Bellevue Village Council approved three consequential actions at its June 24, 2025 meeting, voting to adopt an Eaton County mitigation plan, awarding a park construction contract, and placing a proposed Fire Protection Special Assessment millage on the next available ballot.
President B. Balkema offered a resolution to approve the Eaton County Multi‑Mitigation Plan; L. Pfiester seconded and a roll‑call vote recorded H. Coy, S. Roberts, B. Balkema, E. Bird, J. Willis and L. Pfiester as Ayes. The motion carried, formally adding the county plan to the village's emergency‑planning framework.
On the Jefferson Park Multi‑Sport Court Project, the council reviewed two bids: Duckworth Excavating for $127,380 and K & C Excavating for $115,310. Councilmember E. Bird moved to accept K & C Excavating's $115,310 proposal and use grant funds from Eaton County to pay for the work; H. Coy seconded and the motion carried. The minutes list the chosen contractor and the bid amounts; they do not specify a start date for construction or a contract execution timeline.
The council also voted to place a Fire Protection Special Assessment millage on the next available ballot. S. Roberts moved to put the measure before voters; B. Balkema seconded. A roll‑call vote again recorded H. Coy, S. Roberts, B. Balkema, J. Willis, L. Pfiester and E. Bird as Ayes and the motion carried. The minutes do not specify the proposed millage rate or the anticipated effective date; those details were not included in the record.
Earlier in the meeting the council amended the agenda to add a Zoning Ordinance Update under Unfinished Business, approved the June 10, 2025 minutes, and authorized payment of the June 24 invoices (line‑item vendor charges and fund totals are recorded in the minutes). The minutes show a DDA disbursement to Joan Wilson for $32.74 and note that no members of the public spoke during the public comment period.
A Question/Answer session with Joe Bishop is listed in the minutes; the document does not record the substance of his comments or responses. The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m. on a motion by H. Coy, seconded by B. Balkema. The minutes are recorded by Nicole Roberts, Bellevue Village Manager.
