Michiana council selects Orbis for environmental review and updates on water grants and pump installation
Summary
Council approved Orbis Environmental Consulting for the National Historic Preservation review required by the village's water grant work and heard that a new 750‑mp pump has been installed as part of the first grant; a draft water contract with Grand Beach is expected by April.
Councilmember Mike Mumper updated the council on two water grants. He said the village "had to resubmit our second water grant again" after a pause in federal grant processing and that Merritt Engineering is moving forward with the first grant while preparing the Project Plan, which requires a National Historic Preservation study. The council reviewed two quotes for the environmental review — Merjent $7,450 and Orbis $2,105 — and approved hiring Orbis Environmental Consulting for $2,105 (motion by Tim McCarthy; seconded by Mike Botelho).
Mumper reported that a new 750‑mp pump has been installed in the pump house as part of the first grant's work. He said he hopes to have a draft water contract with Grand Beach ready by the April meeting. The council recorded the Orbis contract approval in the minutes; further technical details and the content of the project plan were not included in the public minutes.
