Summary
Council voted to reverse a prior decision and cash a Roads certificate of deposit after the clerk reported roughly $200,000 remaining from the Center Street East project; the council also approved payments of $67,236.29 to the State of Michigan and $66,440.75 to Spicer Group, and approved a small payment plan for Invoice 2025-018.
At its Jan. 5 meeting, the Village of Fairgrove Council reversed an earlier decision and moved to cash in a Roads certificate of deposit after Clerk-Treasurer Cristi Smith reported about $200,000 remaining from the Center Street East project and funds moving between accounts. R. Thomas made the motion to reverse the prior decision; Harrison seconded and roll call recorded four yes votes with one member absent (motion carried 4/0/1).
The council approved several financial items by roll call vote. It approved the December check registry and voted to pay two large invoices: $67,236.29 to the State of Michigan and $66,440.75 to Spicer Group, totaling $133,677.04, on a motion by Harrison, seconded by Spencer (roll call yes: R. Thomas, Harrison, Spencer, Sebert; motion carried 4/0/1).
Separately, the council approved a payment plan for Invoice 2025-018, setting a $100 down payment and $25 monthly payments until the invoice is paid (motion by R. Thomas, second by Harrison; recorded roll call vote 4/0/1). The meeting record does not specify the invoice vendor or the ultimate intended use of the Roads CD funds beyond the clerk’s summary of remaining project monies.
Council members did not provide a detailed breakdown of how the reclaimed Center Street East funds will be reallocated at this meeting; follow-up budget work is scheduled for Jan. 17.
