Kingsley approves MEDC grant and hires Networks Northwest to update master and parks plans
Summary
The Village Council approved a MEDC grant agreement (Case 398697) to fund updates to its Master Plan and Parks & Recreation Master Plan and authorized contracts with Networks Northwest totalling up to $27,900, funded from the general fund.
The Village of Kingsley Council voted Jan. 8 to enter into a grant agreement with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), Case 398697, to fund updates to the village Master Plan and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The motion, made by Trustee Bott and seconded by Trustee McPherson, carried unanimously among members present (Trustee G. Bogart was recorded absent).
Following approval of the MEDC grant, the council authorized two contracts with Networks Northwest to perform the plan rewrites. One contract covers the Master Plan update in an amount not to exceed $20,700; a second covers the Parks and Recreation Plan in an amount not to exceed $7,200. Manager Kaitlyn Aldrich confirmed funds are available in the general fund for the work. Trustee Wallace moved the contracts and Trustee Weger seconded; the motions passed with all voting in favor among those present.
The council did not record substantive debate against the agreements in the transcript. The actions clear the way for Networks Northwest to begin plan updates, with contract execution authorized to be signed by the Village Manager.
The council’s approvals follow earlier announcements about county-level community development staffing and regional planning activity. The next procedural step is contract execution by the manager and initiation of the plan update work under the MEDC grant terms.
