ZEELAND, MI (WHTC) – Some short-term and some long-term items are among those being considered by the Zeeland City Council tonight.
On the work-study agenda prior to the biweekly business meeting, the panel will go over a draft for the 2017 Strategic Action Plan that City Manager Tim Klunder says “charts the course of actions we wish to pursue in the upcoming year and beyond.” Final adoption is slated for the next business meeting on April 17th.
During this evening’s meeting, Klunder will brief council on the Elm Street project. Scheduled to begin next Monday, April 10th, work between Cherry and Main streets is expected to take until mid-August to complete, with limited vehicle access at the Main-Elm intersection through the end of May.
In addition, city Marketing Director Abby deRoo will be asking council tonight to consider a Municipal Dumpster Ordinance which she believes will be “an aid in combatting the mess which can occur within and outside of the downtown dumpster corrals.” Her hopes that “our new, beautiful dumpster corrals would garner so much pride that the results of our (previous) bad habits would automatically be replaced with perfectly clean dumpster corrals … hasn’t exactly happened.” Her proposal would place a 100-dollar fine per offense of this ordinance.
The work-study session begins at 6 PM, with the business meeting to start about an hour later. Zeeland Mayor Kevin Klynstra is slated to chat with Ed Ver Schure and his listeners on “WHTC Talk of the Town” on Tuesday morning at 9:30 AM on 1450 WHTC and the new 99.7 FM.
