Chelsea City Council 6/17
During the June 16 Chelsea City Council meeting, Mayor Tony Picklesimer said that the night before was the opening night for Chelsea youth club baseball.
“It went off very successfully,” he said. “I appreciate all the kind words about the facilities. We used time while things were on restriction.”
The mayor also discussed the Big Kaboom coming up on June 27. It will be a little bit different than ones in the past. While there won’t be bouncy houses, face painting or the bicycle parade, there will be food, fun, music and the fireworks show as usual.
“I’d like to think we will fill up the grounds with people, maintain distancing of course,” Picklesimer said.
In council business, a resolution was approved to accept the lowest bid for grading and storm drainage for the Chelsea Business Park from Evergreen Erosion Control, LLC.
The council also approved the Back to School Sales Tax Weekend July 17, 18 and 19. For a list of items included in this event, visit cityofchelsea.com.
With the contract with Republic Services expiring at the end of August, the council approved to advertise for bids for garbage and curbside recycling services.
Two annexation ordinances were approved for: 10107 Chelsea Road (1.01 acres) and 351 Brasher Drive (5 acres).
City attorney Mark Boardman read a proposed ordinance to establish parking restrictions that will be up for consideration at the next council meeting.
