Annette Manwell reports that Laketown Township faces a stalemate as the Laketown Township Board of Trustees has not acted on renewing the BPW's franchise. The Holland Board of Public Works plans a followup letter to Lake Town Township customers warning of potential service action without renewed agreement.
An initial letter gave Laketown Township until July 31 to act on a 30 year franchise with the BPW. Despite renewals in Holland Charter and negotiations with Park and Fillmore townships, Laketown remains aloof and has not communicated since the end date. Consumers Energy could raise bills by 10 to 37 dollars monthly for affected customers. BPW will help with transfers if needed, and the franchise would be revocable pending voter approval if Laketown acts.
The board approved spending 44310 to paint part of the interior of a one million gallon water storage tower built in 2002 after an inspection showed corrosion. Seven Brothers Painting Inc. of Shelby Township will perform the interior painting. Tim Hemingway and Diane Haworth were reelected chairman and vice chairwoman. The BPW will contribute 4.9 million to Holland's general fund. The BPW Board will meet at 4 p.m. Aug. 12 at Holland City Hall.
