Mattawan council approves parks master plan contract with regional planner
Summary
The Village of Mattawan approved a $6,979.50 contract with the Southwest Michigan Planning Commission to develop a Parks Master Plan, voting 6-0 to fund and proceed. The plan will guide park priorities and was moved forward after roll call.
The Village of Mattawan council voted June 22 to hire the Southwest Michigan Planning Commission to prepare a Parks Master Plan at a cost of $6,979.50.
President Stuut said the commission's proposal provides a framework for park improvements and programming; the council moved (Daniel, second McLean) to proceed. A roll call vote was 6-0 in favor.
The plan's stated scope in the proposal presented to the council included an assessment of current park facilities and recommendations for capital improvements and programming priorities. Council members framed the vote as a next step to secure consultant-driven planning rather than approving specific construction projects.
The contract amount, $6,979.50, was read into the record during the meeting and approved as presented. No amendments to the scope or additional funding allocations were made at the meeting.
The council did not set a timeline for completion in the public discussion; staff will return with any contract language and schedule for board review. The item is scheduled to reappear for implementation steps as needed.
