Grand Ledge council approves infrastructure pay apps, sets tree hearing
The Grand Ledge City Council on June 22 unanimously approved pay applications for wastewater treatment plant improvements and an ADA observation platform at Jaycee Park, along with fourth-quarter budget amendments. The council also scheduled a special meeting to address hazardous trees.
City Council OKs pay applications, budget adjustments
The council voted unanimously to accept the consent agenda, which included payment application No. 11 for ongoing upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant and payment application No. 4 for the Jaycee Park ADA-accessible observation platform. The package also contained financial transactions, revised personnel manual rules effective July 1, and fiscal year 2026 fourth-quarter budget amendments. Staff reports from May were received and filed without objection. No public comments were offered.
In a separate unanimous vote, the council scheduled a special meeting for June 30 at 9 a.m. to hold a public hearing on three trees at 912 Willow Highway that city officials identified as hazardous.
Parks commission plans Master Plan input sessions
The Parks and Recreation Commission met June 25 with an agenda that focused on an update to the Parks & Recreation Master Plan. According to the agenda, the commission was set to discuss community input sessions on June 30, July 14, and August 18. Status reports on the We-Go-Swing, Jaycee Park pavilion, and Grand Ledge Ballfields Phase II Field II were also on the docket, as was a discussion about Earth Day. Official minutes from the meeting were not yet published.
Dangerous trees hearing held, minutes pending
The special meeting on June 30 went forward as scheduled. Under City Code sections 16-396 through 16-398, the council was to hold a public hearing on a silver maple, a birch-family tree, and a cottonwood tree that were deemed dangerous. The agenda called for a vote on ordering removal, with costs to be billed or liened against the property owner if the owner did not act. Minutes were not available as of July 5, so no decisions have been confirmed.
Coming up
No public meetings appear on the city calendar for the next two weeks. The Parks and Recreation Commission’s next community input session on the master plan is scheduled for July 14.
