The regular Lansing City Council meeting was held Monday, January 7. Discussion centered around the adoption of the consent agenda, appointing a Fire Chief, a semi-final project payment, a parks report update, approving the resignation of a council member and a motion to appoint a new member.
The council appointed Tony Becker to the position of Fire Chief once again. Contract payment #9, a semi-final payment, was approved to be made in the amount of $11,415.22 for the South Road Bridge Project.
A Parks Board member was present at the meeting and explained that a piece of concrete that was approximately one foot by six feet in size has fallen away in the shallow end of the City swimming pool. The board has a preliminary $10,000 raised that will be used to resolve that problem as well as any other minor fixes that need to be done before the pool opens later this year.
