Niles council approves $150,700 purchase of wetland credits to close Pucker Street Dam removal project
Summary
Council approved buying 1.37 acres of wetland credits from the St. Joseph II Wetland Mitigation Bank through Crandell Environmental for $150,700 to close out the Pucker Street Dam removal project.
The Niles City Council voted to purchase 1.37 acres of wetland credits from the St. Joseph II Wetland Mitigation Bank through Crandell Environmental (Charlotte, MI) for $150,700 to close out the Pucker Street Dam removal project.
Councilmember Gretchen Bertschy moved to accept the bid and Councilmember Georgia Boggs seconded; roll call recorded the measure as carried by those present. The purchase is recorded in the minutes as the action required to “close out” the dam removal project, and the Mayor was authorized to sign the agreement.
The minutes do not specify the funding source in detail; staff follow-up on the financing or payment schedule was not recorded in the meeting minutes. The council’s approval completes the administrative step necessary to meet permitting or mitigation obligations tied to the project.
