The Village of Michiana council voted unanimously Oct. 11 to approve a police contract between Michiana and neighboring Grand Beach that will take effect Jan. 1, 2025. Council member Tim McCarthy moved the measure and Mike Botelho seconded; the roll call vote was 5 ayes and 0 nays.
Council approved the contract during the meeting's old business discussion. Tim McCarthy said the agreement would begin Jan. 1, 2025. The motion passed on the recorded roll call vote. The council did not expand on contract dollar amounts during the meeting minutes; no amendments were recorded.
The approval follows presentation of the police report and routine department updates earlier in the meeting. Police Chief Ryan Layman was noted as having stepped out for a call; Tim McCarthy read the chief's report, which recorded 38 calls combined with Grand Beach and announced an upcoming resident sign‑up for winter house checks.
The contract approval is a formal action of the council and will be implemented by village administration in coordination with Grand Beach law enforcement; the minutes do not specify additional implementation steps or financial tallies beyond the effective date announced by McCarthy.
