Big Rapids commissioners to discuss purchase of property, traffic signs at Sandy Acres

Big Rapids city commissioners will meet Monday, June 15, to discuss various proposals.

One agenda item is a resolution to purchase the property at 126 S. DeKrafft Ave. The 0.348-acre parcel would cost $16,000 at fair market value. If approved, the city would sell and transfer the property to the Big Rapids Housing Commission. This would allow construction of a single-family home in partnership with the MOISD building trades program.

Commissioners also will discuss installation of traffic control signs at the new Sandy Acres housing development. The 54-home development on the east side of Big Rapids held its ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, June 10. The resolution would approve purchase of stop signs, “No Outlet” signs and “Dead End” signs.

Other agenda items include:

  • Approving a ground lease agreement for private hangars at Roben-Hood Airport with Timothy Buck

  • Year-end budget amendments for Fiscal Year 2025-2026

  • Approving an amendment to Section 62.10 of the City of Big Rapids non-bargaining personnel policy and procedure manual authorizing payment of longevity back pay to certain current employees

  • Approving an application for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant

  • Approving proposals from Top Line Electric, LLC for a WIN-911 prop perpetual license and customer care package and the replacement of Control Panel-1 PLC at the Wastewater Treatment Plant

  • Authorizing a listing with RE/MAX Together Realty to sell the property located at 318 S Third Avenue
