Village approves $14,000 for preliminary work on joint police safety building after grant candidacy
Summary
Council authorized up to $14,000 for preliminary engineering, surveying and environmental review after Chief Ryan Layman said the joint grant application was selected as a candidate for funding; full grant awards expected in early 2027.
President Tim McCarthy and the council approved up to $14,000 to cover preliminary ‘soft costs’—engineering, surveying and environmental compliance—so the joint police safety building project can move quickly if grant funding is secured in early 2027. Police Chief Ryan Layman announced the application was “one of the candidates chosen to receive funding” and read a letter from Congressman Walberg’s office supporting the project.
Council members framed the expenditure as proactive, not a commitment of final construction funds: the money will pay for soil studies and environmental compliance required by EGLE and the EPA to keep the project ready for potential award notifications next year. The motion was made by Tim McCarthy, seconded by Mike Mumper, and passed unanimously.
