Michiana council approves water contract with Village of Grand; EPA review noted for Creek project
Summary
Council voted to approve a water contract with the Village of Grand and heard that an EPA-mandated National Historic Preservation Study is pending as part of the Creek water project before bidding can begin.
The Village of Michiana council approved a water contract with the Village of Grand on April 11 and instructed staff to forward the contract to Grand Beach for their approval.
Tim McCarthy moved to approve the contract and Mike Botelho seconded; the motion passed unanimously among members present. The transcript does not provide contract terms or the scope of services; council requested Anne Heywood send the contract to Grand Beach for their consideration.
Separately, councilmember Mike Mumper updated the council on the Creek water project: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires a National Historic Preservation Study before the project moves to the next phase. Consulting firm Orbis is preparing the study and will report to the engineers before the village submits the project plan to the EPA and proceeds toward bidding.
Next procedural step: Grand Beach will review the contract at its next council meeting, and the village awaits the completion of the preservation study before advancing the Creek project to bid.
