NOVEMBER VILLAGE MANAGER’S REPORT
Lake Isabella Election Results
Attached are General Election results from on Tuesday, November 4th. Four seats to the
Village Council were elected. The top vote getters who will take office in January were:
- Dave Torgerson
- Charlie Kiel
- Paul Cueny
- Arnold Griffin
Also on the ballot were three proposed amendments to the Village Charter. All three
amendments passed. This includes an amendment which will allow members of the
Village Council to serve on the committees for the LIPOA if you so desire.
Street Reconstruction
We’ve been working on a grant with the MDEQ to cover costs involved with
reconstructing some streets in 2015. The grant is part of the market development
program that they have created with respect to recycling old tires. We have several
areas that we could target for this project and hope to narrow it down in the near future.
Trailer Storage Regulations
We’ve had one meeting between the Village and LIPOA to review and discuss possible
changes to the storage of trailers, boats, and RVs. I plan to present my report and
recommendations to the Council this month for its consideration.

Proposed Ordinances
Existing Business #1 & #2
On the agenda this month are two updated ordinance drafts from the meeting last
month. Proposed Ordinance 2014-07 has already undergone a Public Hearing and can
be recommended to the Village Council once the Planning Commission is comfortable
with the draft. Proposed Ordinance 2015-01 has not yet had a Public Hearing. Before
that ordinance can be recommended to the Village Council the Planning Commission
must first conduct a hearing per the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act. The next meeting
of the Planning Commission is scheduled for December 9th. I recommend that if that
date works for the board in terms of a quorum, holding a hearing on that evening.
