STREETS AND SIDEWALKS: Jim Kieszkowski from Oak Grove Funeral Service requested half payment for sidewalk replacement. He also told the council of his plan to add red dye to the sidewalk at the curb and stamp it with a stamp that will make the cement appear to be red bricks. Jim also requested help with parking for business owners, and help with access to their property at the back in Hopkins Park. Don Hyrns of the street committee reported they had met and assessed the situation of widening the street at the crest of the hill on Lynn. After some discussion they decided to go back and reassess the situation. Don Hyrns will initiate the installation of the curb at the Brown residence on Lynn Street as requested by the Browns. We need to order nine 3-way stop signs. RECYCLING: Judy Cunningham of Lakeshore Enterprises presented a Manistee Countywide Recycling Program. This is the plan: BUILDING: No bids were received on the sand building. Howard Higley put the junk from the old sand building into a dumpster. Councilmen will check on concrete and building materials prices with the idea of contracting the work on the sand building. LIBRARY: Vern Best reported on the Bear Lake/Pleasanton Library Board meeting of June 12. The Board reviewed the Library Agreement from the Manistee County Library Board. The agreement was sent back to Manistee. The 2 library boards will meet together on July 18, 2001 in Manistee. PARKS: Pea gravel has been put in under the playground equipment. Speeders in Hopkins Park were reported to the state police by the camp host. Permits will be issued to campers and boaters for parking in Hopkins Park during Bear Lake Days because of the beer tent being located in the park. STREETS: Don Hyrns moved to purchase a new tractor blade. Cloyse Griffin seconded. Motion carried. The problem with the narrow area of the street at the top of the hill on Lynn was brought up again. The street committee was asked to look into it. WATER DEPARTMENT: Vern Best reported that the June meeting with the public regarding the proposed sewer project resulted in a favorable response from the majority of those attending. The contract with Gosling Czubak was signed. The grant application for the Wellhead Program was mailed. The clerk was asked to find out what a water superintendent’s job description would have in it from other villages. TREES:Carol Urbanus requested that we start an “adopt-a-tree” program for the watering of newly planted trees. Connie Guerne agreed to put an announcement regarding watering the trees in the October water bills. NOISE:A problem with loud music disturbing neighbors was addressed and put under control by Councilman Jim Reed, our noise officer. Meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m. Respectfully, Joanne Schroeder, Clerk |
