Gilman planning work continues as village receives $9,000 billing; zoning review suggested
Summary
The Village of Gilman received a first $9,000 bill from its planning consultant (NWRP); the planning committee will reconvene when the full plan returns and a public hearing is expected. NWRP advised a zoning‑ordinance review but said it was not in the contracted scope.
Clerk Candice Grunseth told the board the planning committee has not received additional materials from the consultant NWRP but that the village had received the first billing for planning work in the amount of $9,000.
Grunseth said the planning committee will meet again once the complete plan is returned and that the village likely needs to hold a public hearing on the plan before finalizing it. She also reported that NWRP suggested the village review its zoning ordinance to ensure recent updates are reflected, but the consultant told staff that zoning‑ordinance updates were not included in the current contract scope.
The board did not take immediate action to expand NWRP’s scope at the meeting; the planning committee will determine next steps after receiving the full plan. No timeline for the public hearing or for additional scope negotiations with NWRP was provided during the meeting.
Clerk Grunseth also reported earlier billing and grant work in process and said she would keep trustees updated as items progress.
