Village Of Schoolcraft Council Council Proceedings
The meeting covered the approval of the agenda and consent agenda. New business included the presentation of the 2011 Citizen Survey developed by the Downtown Revitalization Committee to gather input for a 'Unifying Statement'. Discussions also addressed anticipated reductions in State Revenue Sharing, potentially ranging from $6,000.00 to $28,000.00, resulting in a request to send a letter to State Senator Jase Bolger detailing concerns. Bids for the 2011 Street Resurfacing Program were tabulated, and the contract was awarded to Lakeland Asphalt Corp. for $45,502.70, prompting discussion on future funding mechanisms for street projects. Communications included reading a letter from Judge Santoni regarding the possible closure of the 8th District Court. Administration reports noted a generous contribution of $1515.00 to the Streetscape Project and encouraged participation in the 2011 Citizen Survey and solicitation of candidates for the Village Council Election.
