Chronic vandalism at the Grant City Basketball Court near the Firehouse was discussed at last Wednesday's regular city council meeting. One picnic table was torn up and tables were cut. Hoops were torn up with the north basket having no nets and the south basket having the chain link net undone. The rims had been hung on. Kids are facing a summer without a basketball goal to shoot at or picnic tables to sit on if this keeps up.
The council granted Dave Moyer permission to hook up to the Grant City sewer line at his own expense.
Randy Mehendall of Snyder and Associates reported that grading was done, seeding was done, gravel restored, and that all that was needed to do with the 11-mile water line project was the final walkthrough.
Water Superintendent Greg Miller reported that the pool was almost ready for opening for this summer. The baby pool was patched up. He also reported that DNR has now put Grant City on the 18 month clock to come into compliance with DNR regulations that have not been written or communicated to the city by the DNR. Ways were discussed of coming into compliance.
The city made a required $6,000 payment on the loan for the pool. There is $17,316 remaining on the loan.
Mayor Debbie Roach reported that she will attend a Regional Council of Governments meeting about municipal enforcement this Wednesday evening.
The council hired new lifeguards for the pool year. Bryson Scott was appointed manager for the pool at a pay rate of $9/hour. Lifeguards were hired on an as-needed basis.
