Raymond Skywalker (former resident) expressed concern
regarding protest activity at the Festival of Oddities and
encouraged the City to prioritize tourism and community

of verbal harassment and bullhorn use during the festival. She
noted that written statements and video documentation had

APPROVAL OF AGENDA:
Mayor Fullerton noted that per Council policy, requests to pull items
from the consent agenda must occur at the time of agenda approval.
He announced two modifications: the Authorization to Accept the
2025 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Award would be pulled from the
Consent Agenda and placed as item C under the Business Agenda to
allow for further discussion; and at the request of the Woodhill Group,
the Preliminary Annual Fiscal Report for the 2025/26 Fiscal Year
would be moved from the Consent Agenda to follow Item 10, the
Pension Report presentation.
Motion by Christensen to approve agenda as changed, seconded by
Scott. Motion carried.
COMMUNICATIONS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Mayor Report: Mayor Fullerton clarified that administrative
appointments referenced at a prior meeting were completed in June.
He reminded council members that agenda items may be submitted to

the Clerk's office by Wednesday (preferred) or by noon on Friday per
the City Charter, and that items not submitted in advance may still be
added at the meeting with a five-vote supermajority of Council.

City Manager Report: City Manager Davis reported that a
work session on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is being
planned, tentatively scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM before
either the first or second October or first November regular
meeting. He also noted that a Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority meeting was scheduled for the following morning at
11:00 AM, to be followed immediately by an LDFA meeting,
with discussion focused on potential redevelopment projects
including the former junior high school site.
Woodhill Report: Karen Lancaster of the Woodhill Group

presented the quarterly investment report as required under Public
Act 20. She noted that the city's investments are limited by statute
and are primarily held in Michigan CLASS, a government-only
public investment pool offering the highest available yield. She
reported that with accounting records now stabilized and audit
preparation underway, the city is positioned to move additional funds
from lower-yield bank accounts into the CLASS pool, which could
meaningfully increase investment returns on the approximately $9
million currently held. The Council is to receive this report quarterly
going forward.

CPD Report: The monthly police report was included in the

packet. Mayor Fullerton asked whether the individual who struck a
state highway worker on the freeway had been apprehended; Chief
Brentar indicated the suspect had not yet been caught and confirmed
that the victim had passed away that afternoon.

Council Report:
Council Member Scott noted that CARC had approved the
sensory garden project at the library as proper use of CARC
funds.
Council Member Chin questioned if any subject had been
caught regarding the state worker being killed on the highway.
Council Member Christensen Reported a brief Planning
Commission meeting with one item: a resolution for an
accessory structure for Spartan Fire. There was also discussion
around committee membership appointments for three board
members and a review of the 2026 Sign Ordinance.
Council Member Neumann Reported on the Camp Francis
board meeting. The Women's Giving Group grant was
ultimately awarded to the Life House Shelter in Eaton Rapids
rather than Camp Francis. Upcoming events include the
Haunted Trail (October 16), a campfire event on November 8,
and a stamped concrete sidewalk project beginning October 5
near the cottage and fire pit. Councilmember Brummette also
noted he had requested the board begin tracking monthly and
year-to-date rental figures in their meeting minutes.
Council Member Brummette Noted there is no Parks
committee meeting in October. Reported that the tree nursery is
doing well, with recent rainfall reducing the need for manual
watering.
CITY OF CHARLOTTE PENSION PRESENTATION BY
WOODHILL:

Karen Lancaster and David Polly of the Woodhill Group
presented the annual pension update. The City’s pension
funding increased to 63.84%, placing it above the State’s 60%
threshold and resulting in removal from the State pension
monitoring plan and elimination of the additional $150,000
annual contribution requirement. The unfunded liability
decreased as plan assets increased, although annual employer
contributions are projected to continue rising until
approximately 2040.
Ms. Lancaster also reported that OPEB remains approximately
34% funded, with the liability declining over time. Council
discussed the long-term sustainability of the hybrid pension
plan and recent increases in required contributions, which were
attributed in part to wage increases exceeding actuarial
assumptions.
Mayor Fullerton suggested that a presentation from MERS
(Michigan Municipal Employees Retirement System) could be
valuable for the Council, and that the city should explore what
financial impact, if any, the continuation of the additional
$150,000 voluntary contribution would have on the funding
trajectory.
Council Member Rodriguez raised the importance of
establishing a new council member onboarding process, given
the complexity of pension-related and other financial topics.
(Acceptance of the preliminary annual fiscal report for the
2025/26 Fiscal Year was inserted here during approval of
agenda.) Motion to accept preliminary fiscal report for 25-26
FY by Scott, seconded by Neumann. Motion carried.

CONSENT AGENDA:
a. Approval of Claims & Expenditures totaling
$498,042.87
b. Accept the Revenue and Expenditures report
c. Accept the preliminary annual fiscal report for the
2025/26 Fiscal Year Moved to 10a under Woodhill
presentation
d. Authorization to accept 2025 Assistance to Firefighters
Grant Award Moved to 12c under Business Agenda
e. Approval of Fire Prevention Week October 4-10, 2026
f. Approval of Resolution 2026-50 to show support for the
designation of the Charlotte United States Post Office in
honor of Francis C. Flaherty
Motion to approve the consent agenda as changed by Chrsitensen,
seconded by Scott. Motion carried.

a. Discussion and possible action regarding Festival of
Oddities as requested by Mayor Fullerton
i.
City Manager Davis findings and planned action
ii.
Council questions

City Manager Davis presented findings and planned actions
following the September 5 Festival of Oddities. He reported
that staff met with festival representatives and witnesses to
review concerns and identify improvements. Planned actions
include reviewing the noise ordinance, complaint procedures,
special event policies, pre-event coordination, City service
fees, security/resource needs, and jurisdiction on closed streets.
A revised special events framework is anticipated by the
beginning of the year.

Chief Brentar noted that a formal event policy has been needed
for several years and that ordinance review with the City
Attorney is planned.
Council Member Neumann presented results from a survey of
28 downtown businesses showing mixed economic impacts
and discussed differing estimates of the festival’s overall
economic impact. He also read constituent correspondence
regarding the City’s response, First Amendment concerns, and
Council comments.
Council members discussed prior statements, available
documentation, constitutional considerations, public safety,
event security, economic impacts, and the need for improved
planning and procedures. Mayor Fullerton stated that his
review indicated the Police Department acted appropriately
under the law and emphasized focusing on improvements to
the special events process.
No formal action was taken. Council questions and
Manager planned action was addressed in conjunction with
the item above.
b. F 26-27 Motor Vehicle Pool and Equipment
Purchases
Fleet and Facilities Manager Adam presented proposed vehicle
and equipment purchases totaling $283,000 for the current
year, along with $139,982 to reserve a build slot for a
replacement salt spreader in the next fiscal year. Purchases will
be funded through the Motor Vehicle Pool.
Staff also discussed upcoming replacement needs for other
aging equipment. Council Member Chin reiterated his request

for a five-year Capital Infrastructure Asset Management Plan
to better anticipate future purchases.

Association. The City will receive approximately $130,000–

The Fire Chief also reported that an anonymous complaint filed
during the grant process was reviewed by FEMA and
determined to be unfounded and unsubstantiated.

appointments:
Mayor Fullerton presented a restructuring of the City's

Building Department Update
Staff continues to move forward with the process of re-establishing the City of Charlotte as a
local enforcing agency for building services. Over the past month, staff has spent considerable
time working with McKenna to prepare the additional information and documentation requested
by the State of Michigan.
As part of this process, Ordinance No. 2026-04, regarding the adoption and enforcement of
construction codes, is being recommended for re-adoption following a language change
requested by the State to ensure compliance with State requirements. This amendment does not
change the City’s planned delivery of building services but addresses the State’s requirements
regarding the employment and designation of the City’s Building Official.
The City’s supplemental application packet, totaling approximately 100 pages, was completed
and resubmitted to the State last week, several days ahead of the October 6 deadline. The packet
included the additional administrative procedures, supporting documentation, and other
information requested as part of the State’s review.
At this time, we have not yet received confirmation from the State regarding when the City’s
application will be placed before the State Construction Code Commission (BCC). The BCC
currently has a meeting scheduled for October 14, 2026, and we are planning to attend that

meeting in person along with representatives from McKenna. Staff will follow up with the State
by Friday if confirmation has not been received.
We are hopeful that additional information regarding the status of the City’s application will be
available by the time of the Council meeting and will provide Council with a verbal update at
that time.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 7, 2026
To: City Council Members and City Staff
From: Vester Davis, City Manager
Subject: Flags at Half-Staff - Eaton County Road Commission Employee
Yesterday, October 6, 2026, an Eaton County Road Commission employee was tragically killed in the
line of duty while working in a roadway work zone on Lansing Road in Windsor Township.
The employee who lost his life was a Charlotte resident and was performing his duties as part of a Road
Commission crew when he was struck during a motor vehicle crash within the work zone. Despite
lifesaving efforts, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
This loss is felt deeply here in the City of Charlotte, throughout Eaton County, and by communities across
our state and nation that recognize the risks faced each day by those who work along our roadways.
Road Commission employees perform an essential public service, often working within feet of moving
traffic to maintain the roads and infrastructure that our residents rely upon every day.
Upon the recommendation of Mayor Kevin Fullerton, I am directing that the United States flag at all City
of Charlotte municipal buildings and facilities be lowered to half-staff beginning today, October 7, 2026, in
honor of the Eaton County Road Commission employee who lost his life in the line of duty.
I also encourage residents, businesses, and other organizations throughout the City of Charlotte to join
us in this tribute by lowering their United States flags to half-staff during this period in honor of the
employee, his family, his fellow Road Commission employees, and all those impacted by this tragedy.
Flags at City facilities shall remain at half-staff through sunset on the day of his funeral or memorial
service. Once service arrangements are announced, City staff will be notified of the date on which flags
should be returned to full staff.
On behalf of the City of Charlotte, Mayor Fullerton, City Council, and our employees, we extend our
deepest condolences to his family, friends, coworkers, and the entire Eaton County Road Commission.
This tragedy is a solemn reminder to all motorists to slow down, remain attentive, and use extreme
caution when approaching and traveling through roadway work zones.

PROCLAMATION
IN HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE OF AN EATON COUNTY ROAD COMMISSION
EMPLOYEE KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY
WHEREAS, on October 6, 2026, an Eaton County Road Commission employee and Charlotte resident tragically lost his
life in the line of duty while working in a roadway work zone on Lansing Road in Windsor Township; and
WHEREAS, Road Commission employees and other roadway workers provide an essential public service to our
communities, maintaining the roads and infrastructure upon which our residents, businesses, emergency services, and
visitors depend each day; and
WHEREAS, these public servants routinely perform their duties in close proximity to moving traffic and under
conditions that require motorists to exercise heightened attention, patience, and caution; and
WHEREAS, this tragic loss is felt deeply here in the City of Charlotte, throughout Eaton County, and by communities
across our state and nation that recognize the risks faced each day by those who work along our roadways; and
WHEREAS, following this tragedy and upon the recommendation of Mayor Kevin Fullerton, City Manager Vester Davis
directed that the United States flag at all City of Charlotte municipal buildings and facilities be lowered to half-staff
beginning October 7, 2026, and remain at half-staff through sunset on the day of the employee's funeral or memorial
service; and
WHEREAS, the City of Charlotte also encouraged residents, businesses, and organizations throughout our community to
join in this tribute by lowering their United States flags to half-staff during this period; and
WHEREAS, the City of Charlotte wishes to formally preserve in its records its respect and gratitude for the life and
public service of this employee and its support for his family, friends, coworkers, and the entire Eaton County Road
Commission;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, that the Mayor and City Council of the City of Charlotte, Michigan, on
behalf of the entire community, honor and remember the Eaton County Road Commission employee who lost his life in
the line of duty on October 6, 2026, and extend their deepest condolences to his family, friends, coworkers, and all those
affected by this tragedy.
BE IT FURTHER PROCLAIMED, that the City calls upon all motorists to honor those who work along our roadways
by slowing down, remaining attentive, obeying work-zone traffic controls, and exercising the utmost caution whenever
approaching or traveling through a roadway work zone.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, Kevin Fullerton, Mayor of the City of Charlotte, Michigan, together with the Charlotte
City Council, do hereby issue this proclamation in honor and remembrance of this public servant and in recognition of the
sacrifice made in service to our community.
Proclaimed this 12th day of October, 2026.

TO: Vester Davis, City Manager
FROM: Tyger Fullerton, Fire Chief
DATE: October 7, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Apply – Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Grant

Background
In 2022, the Charlotte Fire Department successfully applied for and received more than $35,000
in grant funding through the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. These funds allowed the
department to purchase modern battery-operated hydraulic rescue tools, significantly improving
our vehicle extrication and rescue capabilities.
Since that award, the department has submitted several additional grant applications seeking
funding to equip our second mini-pumper with the same type and manufacturer of rescue tools.
Unfortunately, those applications have not been successful.
Equipping both mini-pumpers with compatible rescue equipment would improve operational
consistency, allow personnel to utilize the same equipment regardless of which apparatus
responds, and strengthen our overall rescue capabilities.

Proposed Grant Application
The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation is accepting applications for its current October
2026 grant cycle. The department would like to submit another application requesting up to
$40,000 in funding, with no required local match.
Specifically, the department intends to request HURST eDRAULIC battery-operated hydraulic
rescue equipment, including a spreader, cutter, and ram. These tools would complement our
existing equipment and provide our second mini-pumper with a complete set of vehicle
extrication tools.
This equipment would improve our ability to respond to motor vehicle accidents and other rescue
incidents throughout the City of Charlotte and our surrounding service area.

Financial Impact
The grant provides up to $40,000 in funding with no required City matching funds. If awarded,
the equipment would be purchased through the grant, resulting in no anticipated direct equipment
purchase cost to the City.

Recommendation
I respectfully request that the City Council authorize the Charlotte Fire Department to submit an
application to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation for up to $40,000 in grant funding to
purchase HURST eDRAULIC rescue equipment.
This opportunity would allow the department to continue improving its rescue capabilities while
minimizing the financial impact on the City.

TO: Vester Davis, City Manager
FROM: Tyger Fullerton, Fire Chief
DATE: October 7, 2026
SUBJECT: Request for City Council Authorization – Consumers Energy Electrical Service and
Utility Easement for Fire Training Facility
The City of Charlotte, in partnership with Eaton County and the Eaton County Fire Training
Committee, continues to move forward with the development of the regional fire training facility
located on Paine Drive. As construction and installation of the facility progress, improvements to
the existing electrical infrastructure are necessary to support current operations and future
training activities.
Currently, the fire training grounds receive electrical power through the City's Wastewater
Treatment Plant, utilizing an aging transformer that dates back to the 1960s.
We have been working with Consumers Energy to establish a new, independent 200-amp
electrical service directly to the fire training grounds. This improvement would eliminate the
training facility's reliance on the existing wastewater plant electrical service, provide a dedicated
power supply, and support the continued development and operation of the training facility.
As part of this process, Consumers Energy will require a utility easement across City-owned
property to install and maintain the necessary electrical infrastructure.
To facilitate this process, we are requesting City Council authorization to allow Fire Chief Tyger
Fullerton to coordinate directly with Consumers Energy regarding the electrical service
installation, including the proposed utility routing, site access, scheduling, and other necessary
project arrangements.
Additionally, we are requesting that City Council authorize the granting of a permanent utility
easement to Consumers Energy across the necessary portion of City-owned property. The City
Clerk would be authorized to execute the necessary easement agreement and related documents
on behalf of the City.
Project Funding and Reimbursement
As the electrical service installation will take place on City of Charlotte-owned property, the
project costs will be billed directly to the City. However, this electrical service improvement is a
necessary component of the ongoing live burn training facility project and will be funded
through the State of Michigan grant supporting the facility's construction.
The City will initially process payment for the electrical service installation, with the associated
costs subsequently submitted for reimbursement through the State grant funding administered

through Eaton County. Accordingly, the project is anticipated to be fully reimbursed through the
existing grant funding.
Recommendation
I respectfully recommend that City Council approve a resolution authorizing the following:
1. Fire Chief Tyger Fullerton to serve as the City's designated representative in coordinating
with Consumers Energy for the installation of a new, independent 200-amp electrical
service to the Fire Training Facility on Paine Drive.
2. The granting of a permanent utility easement to Consumers Energy across the necessary
portion of City-owned property for the installation and maintenance of electrical
infrastructure serving the training facility.
3. The City Clerk to execute the necessary easement agreement and related documents on
behalf of the City of Charlotte.
This authorization will allow the City to modernize the electrical infrastructure serving the fire
training grounds, eliminate reliance on the aging wastewater treatment plant transformer, and
establish an independent electrical service capable of supporting the facility's current and future
operational needs, utilizing available State grant funding for the necessary improvements.

Property Transaction – EDA Disaster Recovery Grant Industrial Park Road Extension

Dear Mayor & City Council Members,
The City of Charlotte previously authorized submission of an application to the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA) Disaster Recovery program for the project
“Recovery to Resilience: Modernizing Wastewater Infrastructure to Enhance Disaster Recovery and
Power Sustainable Economic Growth.”
The proposed project includes several major infrastructure improvements, including the Industrial Park
Road Extension, replacement of tertiary filters and trickling filter media, upgrades to the Lansing Lift
Station, and replacement of digester domes.
As the City moves through the EDA grant process, the property configuration necessary for the Industrial
Park Road Extension must be completed so the City can establish the required road right-of-way.
Property Transaction
To establish the necessary right-of-way, the City and Charlotte Anodizing, LLC have worked together on
a property transaction and parcel reconfiguration within the Combs Industrial Park.
Charlotte Anodizing, LLC will convey approximately 1.73 acres to the City of Charlotte for $10.00. The
property will be split from the existing parent parcels and will provide the City with the property
necessary for the proposed infrastructure improvements.
As part of the same transaction, the City will convey approximately 0.22 acres of City-owned property to
Charlotte Anodizing, LLC for $10.00.
These conveyances are being completed as a coordinated transaction. The City's conveyance of the
0.22-acre parcel is contingent upon the closing and conveyance of the property from Charlotte
Anodizing, LLC to the City.
The City Attorney prepared the Purchase Agreements and corresponding resolutions necessary to
complete the property transactions and parcel reconfiguration.

1

Completion of the property transaction and associated parcel changes will allow the City to establish the
road right-of-way necessary for the Industrial Park Road Extension included in the City's EDA Disaster
Recovery grant project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council approve the two resolutions authorizing the property transactions
between the City of Charlotte and Charlotte Anodizing, LLC and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute the associated Purchase Agreements and any other documents necessary to complete the
transactions.
Approval of the property transactions will allow the City to complete the required parcel reconfiguration
and establish the road right-of-way necessary to continue moving forward with the EDA Disaster
Recovery grant project.

Re:

Crash/Totaled Patrol Vehicle

On September 14, 2026, one of our officers was involved in a motor vehicle crash with another
vehicle. Our officer was not seriously injured but was evaluated at Sparrow Eaton Hospital and
was cleared to return to work. The officer experienced some soreness following the crash but
has since recovered and is doing well.
One passenger in the other vehicle sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported
to Sparrow Eaton Hospital for treatment.
Because the crash involved a city vehicle and our agency, we requested that the Michigan State
Police investigate the incident. The investigation determined that the driver of the other vehicle
failed to stop at a stop sign and was at fault for the crash. Our officer was determined to have no
fault in the incident.
Our insurance carrier, MML, was notified of the crash, and an adjuster inspected the damaged
vehicle. The vehicle was determined to be a total loss. The City has full replacement coverage,
and the insurance carrier will reimburse the cost of purchasing a replacement vehicle, including
the cost of additional equipment and outfitting.
I contacted Berger Chevrolet, which holds the applicable state bid, to determine whether a
suitable replacement vehicle was available. Berger Chevrolet currently has a 2026 Chevrolet
Tahoe available and is holding the vehicle pending Council approval. The state bid price for the
vehicle is $55,628.00.

I am requesting that the City Council approve the purchase of a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe from
Berger Chevrolet in the amount of $55,628.00. The purchase will be reimbursed by our
insurance carrier under the City’s replacement coverage.

Respectfully,

Paul Brentar

Re:

Police Vehicle Outfitting

Background
As you will recall, you recently approved the purchase of two new police vehicles at the council
meeting on August 24th, 2026. In addition to purchasing these vehicles, new emergency
equipment is also needed to outfit them properly to put them in to service. This includes items
such as emergency lighting, sirens, cages, installation, etc.
This was put out for bid by the Clerk’s Office with the following bids received:
1. Overwatch Emergency- $39,744.08
There may still be additional costs for equipment and labor if some of the current equipment
needs to be replaced.
Recommendation
I am recommending that City Council approve the bid received from Overwatch Emergency, in
the amount of $39,744.08, for the outfitting of two new police vehicles.
Financial Impacts
This purchase has been budgeted for FY 26-27 in the police department’s budget as part of the
SAD.

Suggested Motion
City Council approves the bid from Overwatch Emergency in the amount of $39,744.08, with
funds available in Capital Outlay- Motor Vehicles, 207-301.000-973.000.

CHARLOTTE FIRE DEPARTMENT

RURAL FIRE ASSOCIATION
Fire Chief – Tyger Fullerton
911 W. Shepherd St., Charlotte, MI 48813 Ph. 517-543-0241

To: Vester Davis, City Manager
From: Tyger Fullerton, Fire Chief
Date: October 7, 2026
Re: Fire Training Facility – Intergovernmental Agreement and Operations & Use Agreement

The Eaton County Fire Training Committee, Eaton County, and the City of Charlotte have been working
together on the development of the new live-fire training facility located at the City’s training grounds at
1023 Paine Drive.
As part of this project, two agreements have been developed to establish the responsibilities of the parties
and provide for the long-term placement, operation, and use of the facility.
These agreements were developed with input from City staff and were subsequently reviewed and refined
by City Attorney David Revore’s office. The agreements have also been reviewed by Eaton County. As
part of that review, Eaton County submitted the agreements to the State of Michigan to ensure the
proposed terms and language were consistent with and allowable under the State grant funding the
project. At this time, we understand that no corrections or changes have been recommended as a result of
that review.
The Eaton County Fire Training Committee has also reviewed and approved the agreements. With these
reviews completed, the agreements are now being presented to the City Council for consideration and
approval.
Intergovernmental Agreement
The Intergovernmental Agreement is between the City of Charlotte, Eaton County, and the Eaton County
Fire Training Committee. This agreement primarily addresses the State-funded construction and
placement of the live-fire training facility on City-owned property.
The project is being funded through a $700,000 State of Michigan grant administered through Eaton
County, with the Eaton County Fire Training Committee serving as the subrecipient. The agreement
establishes the responsibilities associated with the grant, construction and placement of the facility,
insurance, ownership and lease arrangements, and the future disposition or removal of the facility.
This agreement provides the necessary framework between the County, Training Committee, and City to
complete the grant-funded project while protecting the City's ownership and interests in the training
grounds.

Operations and Use Agreement
The Operations and Use Agreement is between the City of Charlotte and the Eaton County Fire Training
Committee and establishes how the facility will be operated and used following completion.
The agreement addresses scheduling, access, training activities, safety requirements, maintenance, repairs,
utilities, and the responsibilities of both the City and Training Committee. The Training Committee will
continue to coordinate use of the facility primarily for the 13 fire departments within Eaton County, while
also allowing approved use by other agencies when appropriate.
The agreement establishes a 10-year term beginning October 1, 2026. The City’s use fee is $1,000
annually, with the option to pay $10,000 for the full original 10-year term. The agreement also establishes
responsibility for routine facility-specific maintenance, inspections, repairs, and long-term capital
maintenance while defining the City's responsibilities for the training grounds and existing City-owned
improvements.
Project Status
The project continues to move forward on schedule. The foundation, concrete work, and associated
underground work have been completed and inspected. Manufacturing of the live-fire training structure is
now complete, and delivery and installation at the Charlotte training grounds are scheduled to begin
October 13, 2026.
Following installation, the building manufacturer will provide two days of on-site in-service training on
November 6 and 7, 2026, covering the proper operation and use of the facility. Formal training and
certification for personnel who will operate and oversee the facility are also scheduled for early
December.
The project remains within the established grant timeline, and no significant delays are currently
anticipated.
The construction of this facility represents a significant investment in firefighter training for Charlotte and
all of Eaton County. These agreements establish a clear structure for completing the project and ensuring
that the facility is properly operated, maintained, and available for firefighter training for years to come.
Recommendation
Based on the review and approval process outlined above, I recommend that the City Council approve
both the Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Charlotte, Eaton County, and the Eaton
County Fire Training Committee and the Operations and Use Agreement between the City of Charlotte
and the Eaton County Fire Training Committee, and authorize the Mayor & City Manager to execute the
agreements on behalf of the City.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like any additional information prior to the City
Council meeting.
