Lev Wood from the Clinton River Watershed Council (CRWC) announced a program that CRWC will be hosting next week. On Tuesday, September 1, "The Little Things you can do to Protect Water Quality" will be presented from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Ewald Branch Library, 15175 E. Jefferson. Learn how everyday actions influence the health of our local waterways. Registration is required. Call 248-601-0606 or email contact@crwc.org to register.
The Council voted to award Clearwater Pools and Services the contract to re-line the Windmill Pointe Park pool. The cost of the project will be $93,595. This company was the lowest bidder and provided a 3-year warranty on their work while the other two bidders were offering a 1-year warranty and would provide less prep work. The project will begin in spring. The Parks and Recreation Director wanted the Council to move quickly on this so the pool would be ready for next year's swim season as the Park is slated to host the annual swimming tournament between all of the Grosse Pointes.
Dan Clark will be the Council's representative at the Michigan Municipal League's meeting in September. Greg Theokas will be the alternate. The Michigan Municipal League is a non-profit foundation dedicated to support local government leadership and development.
Comments from the audience:
A resident asked the City Manager if he had further information about possibly getting a cell phone tower placed in Grosse Pointe Park due to the lack of cell phone service in areas along the waterfront. Mr. Krajniak explained that he had spoken with AT&T. The company is going to determine if the area not covered by existing towers justifies the cost of adding an additional tower. The cost of a tower is approximately $250,000.
Councilman Robson requested that the City Manager invite a representative from DTE to address the Council at the next meeting regarding power outages in Grosse Pointe Park.
Council adjourned to closed door session to discuss pending litigation.

L.A., the way this reads it sounds like the pool is not going to be ready by Memorial Weekend. That would be a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI made an edit. I'm trying to provide information about the pool and let people know our city is hosting the swimming tournament which is one of the motivations for getting the pool done. Hopefully this describes it a bit better.
ReplyDeletehmm... sounds interesting, unfortunately, I am not a swimmer myself.
ReplyDeleteI think we should get a high dive at windmill.
