Council Update - August 24

Enjoy your weekend as summer itself is slowly winding down. Be safe, have fun, do some grilling, cool off at the lake, or just chill out under your favorite tree.

Hydrant Re-painting project

As you’ve probably noticed, there are a number of hydrants painted white along Randall Street and East Street. This is white color is a primer coat and will eventually be painted in an epoxy based red paint yet this summer or early fall.



Dedicated Sewer Main – Lift Station at 64th Avenue and West Randall

Lift Station is going well – north side blocks are up to top and Friday, August 21, should be done with block walls and rafters are coming in on Monday. Progress continues on this project and construction is on track. No major issues and no major delays to report at this time.



Second River Crossing Water Project Phase I

The EDA grant that the city applied for in the amount of $2.5 million was denied at this time. We will probably reapply at the earliest allowed time. We are now in the process of researching why this project was not chosen. In the meantime, I am in continued discussions with Allendale and Ottawa County to insure the project moves forward and everyone is in agreement with the design and the process. Final costs are being finalized and work has begun on possible cost sharing amounts.


WWTP Project Phase II

This morning I had a meeting with representatives from Fairlife, CDF, Select Services, and the Ottawa County Administrator. This meeting was to review the short and long-term goals for future waste water infrastructure requirements when juxtaposed with the exponential growth Fairlife is experiencing. The search for a long-term solution is critical to insure continued economic growth takes place in Coopersville and West Michigan. I will be having additional meetings to define what the solution would look like and to hammer out details that are critical for success. 



West Randall Street Reconstruction Project

OMM informed staff that the contractor may finish concrete work on the south side Thursday or Friday depending on weather. The sidewalk is scheduled for Thursday but as with the road, weather will play a factor on completion. Various other tasks will be performed Friday and Monday with a possible switch of traffic from the north side to the south side of Randall Street maybe Tuesday afternoon, August 26th, or Wednesday.

Council & DDA Update - August 10

8/7/2015

1 Comment

 
Del Shannon Days is this week, which includes the parade of fantastically beautiful cars through the city, and of course Saturday’s display of those very cars and more. Rotary has their annual Pancake Breakfast at the Fire Station Saturday morning, so please plan on attending as money raised goes back into the community to support many projects and organizations.

By now, members of council already know the extent that Rotary contributes to the myriad organizations, projects, and programs in the city. But this memo is also for individuals that may not know the extent of their involvement. Rotary has contributed significantly to the Library and to NEO Forum, to name but two in the city. But the mission of Coopersville’s Rotary Club, and its clubs throughout this country and the world is to eradicate polio from the face of the planet. There were years where we were close, but the battle continues to defeat this tragic disease. Our own Rotary Club in Coopersville is a part of that effort.



Have a safe and happy weekend!

Ironwood Guard Rail Replacement

As most of you have noticed, this project has been completed. What a nice job! Hopefully no one will test the guard rail’s integrity any time soon.

Hydrant Re-painting Project

Notice has gone out to residents that the City will be repainting 75 hydrants throughout the city starting the week of August 10. Hydrants will be sandblasted and primed first, so there will be a time when a number of hydrants will be white. Once that step is completed, the hydrants will be painted safety red. The project is expected to wrap up in early September.

Dedicated Sewer Main – Lift Station

Progress continues on this project and construction is on track. No major issues and no major delays to report at this time.

Second River Crossing Water Project Phase I

Work continues on finalizing the last few details of the design. We’re in consultations with the engineers at Prein & Newhof and have had progress meeting(s) with our Polkton, Allendale, and Ottawa County partners. The costs are being finalized so we can focus in on how we want to fund the project. At this time it looks like renewing an existing bond will be the best option. My goal is to still start work next summer or fall.

WWTP Project Phase II

I’m continuing to have more discussions on possible sources of funding for this project. As stated before the issues are complex and constructing an alliance of financial partners is proving to be challenging. Further meetings are planned so that more understanding of the reasons for this project become clear to ALL potential partners. This is truly a unique economic story we have in Coopersville with Continental Dairy (CDF) and Fairlife. Not everyone knows the details and the impact CDF and Fairlife have had regionally and at the state level. The challenge is to get everyone up to speed on the facts and the future economic development that will take place once the project is completed.

West Randall Street Reconstruction Project

Concrete is going down this week on the south side. So far the project is on track for scheduled completion. Regular updates are going out via the city’s website and Facebook page. To the best of my knowledge the project is on schedule at this time. Please let me know if you have concerns or would like additional information as the project is underway.
