11-4-26 City Council Meeting

At its November 4, 2026 meeting, the Holland City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, including the purchase of chips and fines for the Veneralti Farm Trail project, an application for a Justice Assistance Grant, and awarding a bid for a public-safety vehicle attenuator; no vendor or dollar amounts were stated for those items. Council also unanimously approved the construction bid results for the Holland Recreation Center: a $24 million construction budget within a $25.6 million total project budget, an amendment to the construction contract, and authorization for Lakewood to enter into project contracts. The project is an 86,000-square-foot facility intended to consolidate recreation programming. Staff described just under $1 million in contingency and a $50,000 limit for individual change orders authorized under the request.

Council unanimously approved Act 381 Brownfield Plans and related municipal services agreements for two housing developments. The 367 Country Club Road project is planned for 120 units; its plan anticipates an $8.2 million TIF request, with a 75% municipal-services payment based on city millages. Kensington West is a $52 million, 182-unit development, including 51 income-restricted units; its plan anticipates approximately $43 million in TIF over 30 years and a two-mill municipal-services payment. The approvals establish reimbursement and affordability requirements, including annual compliance checks for restricted rents. Council also approved the 2027 meeting schedule and a public-safety-related bid through the consent agenda; no other procurement amounts or vendors were identified.
