Springport Village Council workshop addresses budget resolutions, insurance premium increase and contract language
Summary
At its April 7, 2026 workshop the Springport Village Council discussed proposed budget resolutions (Res. 26-1, 26-2, 26-3), an increase in the MML insurance premium, requests to change MasTec contract language and directed staff to research rental inspection fee options; no votes were recorded.
The Springport Village Council met in workshop session on April 7, 2026, to review March reports and discuss several items including proposed budget resolutions, an insurance premium increase, and requested changes to a MasTec contract. Manager Saylors presented the manager's report and the council reviewed financial documents before discussing new-business items.
Manager Saylors (Manager) told the council she is researching options for rental inspection companies and associated fee structures for the village. The council discussed the topic but no specific fee amounts or a formal proposal were recorded. Collin Hawes submitted the Department of Public Works report for March 2026; the transcript records the submission but does not include line-item details from the DPW report.
On insurance, Manager Saylors said she will reach out to the village representative for MML to follow up on questions regarding an increase in the annual premium. The council did not record a motion or vote to approve any change to insurance coverage or budgetary appropriations during the workshop.
Council members reviewed several budget-related items. The transcript notes discussion of Resolution 26-1 (budget adoption) and Resolution 26-2 (budget amendment), and a separate Resolution 26-3 tied to an MDOT project; the minutes record that discussion occurred but do not record motions, vote tallies, or adoption language in this workshop session.
Councilors also asked for changes to the language in the MasTec contract; the minutes state the council is requesting some changes but do not specify the clauses or services affected. A discussion was also recorded regarding MSHDA; the transcript indicates the topic was discussed but does not provide further detail in the minutes.
The workshop included routine financial reviews: delinquent accounts and potential shut-offs for March 2026, April account balances, and April disbursements. The transcript notes these items were reviewed but does not list account totals, delinquent-customer counts, or disbursement line items in the minutes.
President Barnette called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m., and adjourned the workshop at 8:40 p.m. The minutes were submitted by Theresa Woolworth, Village Clerk/Treasurer, and noted as subject to approval at the next council meeting; upcoming meetings listed by the clerk included a council meeting on April 9, 2026 and the next workshop on May 12, 2026.
The workshop record shows council discussion and staff follow-up assignments but no formal votes or finalized actions were recorded in these minutes. Where the minutes note that a topic was discussed without particulars, the transcript does not supply amounts, motions, or vote outcomes.
