Council agrees to allow Ledgers crossing of village property with hold-harmless agreement; EGLE monitoring of beach structure continues
Summary
Council agreed to permit the Ledgers' contractor to cross village property to access Stop 43 if a hold-harmless agreement prepared by Attorney Sara Senica is signed; EGLE continues to monitor a beach structure with a potential second notice.
The building inspector reported that the Ledgers have EGLE approval but need village authorization to cross village property for work related to Stop 43. Building Inspector Bill Lambert told the council that Attorney Sara Senica prepared a hold-harmless agreement to ensure the contractor and homeowner accept responsibility for crossing village property and for cleanup and restoration after completion; council agreed to allow access conditioned on the signed agreement.
Separately, Tim McCarthy reported that EGLE remains "watching the structure on the beach" and that the agency will issue a second notice if there is no response; the village will await further guidance and may escalate the matter to another state office if necessary. The council also agreed to reopen Stop 43 for residents to view sunsets while keeping split-rail fencing in place to prevent unsafe beach access due to rock instability.
