Council approves second change to plant project

A fabulous Fourth of July

Change adds $7,959 to cost of treatment plant renovation Tom Thelen tthelen@lsj.com

The Portland Area Chamber of Commerce held their annual Independence Day parade on July 4. Among the entries was this patriotic ﬂoat from the First Congregational Church of Portland (above.) The theme for this year’s parade was “American Heritage.” The organization also held its Portland July 4 King and Queen contest. Dillon Bondy and Lindsay Barker (left) were crowned during a special ceremony prior to the start of the parade. A ﬁreworks display at Portland High School concluded the day’s festivities.

PORTLAND — The Portland City Council approved a second change order for the wastewater treatment plant renovation during its July 5 meeting. The second change order increases the project cost by $7,959. The change was due to the poor condition of a connection that the work crew had intended to use. “A connection point on the outside of an aeration tank that the crews thought they could still use was severely corroded and had to be replaced,” said Tom Dempsey, Portland city manager. “Instead the crew will install a new location and move that location inside the tank. However, this results in additional pipe fittings and seals.” The change order increases the total project cost to just under $3.2 million, which the city is financing through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development bond program. The first change order increased the size of some pipes in the facility to allow for increased capacity. That change increased the cost by $14,830 and was approved at the council’s June 20 meeting. The council also approved a payment of $463,475.41 to Davis Construction, the overall contractor on the project, for work completed through June 30.

Property donation

The council also discussed an offer from the family of a former Portland resident who wanted to donate See COUNCIL, Page 15

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Chief Bob Bauer Portland Police Dept.

Join Relay event and help battle cancer

One in two men and one in three women will face a cancer diagnosis in his or her lifetime. Statistics show that each one of us is likely to be impacted by the disease at some point – possibly through a friend or loved one’s battle with the disease, or a personal battle. Thanks to continually improving treatment options, there are 11

million cancer survivors alive today, celebrating many more birthdays. The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life hosts a special ceremony to recognize both those lost to the disease and those who represent hope for the future – our cancer survivors. After the day has ended and darkness falls, hundreds of candles illuminate the way during the Relay For Life of Portland’s Luminaria Ceremony. Each luminaria bears the name of someone who has battled cancer. For those taken from us, this is the time when we ﬁnd comfort in realizing that no one whom we have truly loved is ever lost. By placing their names on the luminaria bags we memorialize the love for them which we continue to carry in our hearts. For those who have defeated the disease, there is no

truer symbol of the American Cancer Society’s mission than the cancer survivor. Their spirit and hope, their triumph and tears, as represented by the names we place on these ﬂickering tributes, guide us in our quest for world with less cancer and more birthdays. For those who have experienced the poignancy of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Portland’s Luminaria Ceremony, please join us again. For those who have not, I invite you to come for one of the most moving events of your life and celebrate someone in your life who has battled cancer. Call 1-800-227-2345 to ﬁnd out more about the Relay For Life of Portland Luminaria Ceremony. Barb Falor Portland

PORTLAND — The Economic Revitalization Committee of the Portland Main Street program will be hosting a roundtable discussion on utilizing the tools and resources of the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) on Tuesday, July 19, at 1 p.m., at Portland City Hall. This event – which is open to all smallbusiness owners, potential small-business owners, and local entrepreneurs – will focus on the various tools available through the SBA for small businesses. Experts from the Small Business Administration, the Michigan Small Business and Technology Development Center (MI-SBTDC), and area banks will be on hand to answer questions and provide examples that will help to demystify the process of working

with the SBA. “The SBA offers many great programs that small business owners can use to help their businesses,” said Portland Main Street Manager Patrick Reagan. “However, a lot of business owners feel that the process can be really overwhelming or just too difﬁcult to utilize. The Economic Revitalization Committee wants to assist local small business owners in navigating this process, and that is why we are bringing in these experts.” This roundtable discussion is presented by the Portland Main Street program in conjunction with the Michigan Small Business and Technology Development Center. Although the July 19 presentation is

free to the public, space is limited. To register and reserve your seat for this event online, go to the MI-SBTDC website at www.misbtdc.org. For more information or to register by phone, please call the MISBTDC ofﬁces at (517) 483-1921. The MI-SBTDC is partially funded by the SBA. All MI-SBTDC programs or co-sponsored programs are extended to

tion, Organization and Finance, and Promotions and Marketing - as well as an award for the newest volunteer who had the greatest impact on the program over the last year. “The people that have received these awards in the past have really worked hard to make downtown Portland better,” said Reagan. “All of our volunteers do great work, and we are very proud of everything that they do. We invite everyone to come down and help us recognize the ﬁne work being done by community residents.” Portland Main Street will also be giving away free hot dogs and sodas during this event.

the property that the family still owns to the city. Dempsey told the council that the property is in a residential area, but is not in good condition. “We thought that maybe it could be used for training by our emergency personnel,” said Dempsey. “But after they looked it over, they felt that it was too dangerous. They felt that the property could only be demolished at this point.” Dempsey said that the city would need to spend up to $11,000 to demolish the property and make it marketable if the city chose to accept the donation. “With the real estate market as it is right now we may be able to sell the lot for $12,000 to $15.000,” said Dempsey. Dempsey added that the family has kept current on utility and tax bills, but that the summer taxes would need to be paid. “My biggest concern is the precedent that would be set,” said Mayor Jim Barnes. “There may be more locations out there were families are having problems with ﬁnances and foreclosure and could also decide to just donate the property to the city. I think the negatives outweigh the positives.”

Dempsey. “Others may go with the local company if the local company bid is within 3 percent or 5 percent of the lowest bid, but had criteria for the bidders to meet before they would consider going with a local bidder over the lowest bidder.” Dempsey also noted that the city includes language in its request for bids advertising that would allow the city to select whichever company it wants to receive the bid. “Personally I do not believe in local bidder policies because you could have some companies not submit bids if they know that you are going to go with the local bidder,” said Dempsey. “But I think we can still do what you want without a formal policy.”

BIRTHS Meridian Township January 14, 1932 - June 30, 2011 Thomas Campbell wrote "To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die." From June 30, 2011, Richard Lewis Silliman, "Dick", will live on in the hearts of those who love him so very much. Born in Oneonta, New York in 1932, the son of Gertrude and Morton Silliman, Dick moved to Midland, Michigan in the late 1950’s to work for the Dow Corning Corporation. He was employed for over 30 years as a Pension and Benefits Consultant. Dick loved to read and travel, but most of all he loved his family and thoroughly enjoyed being with his grandchildren, including supporting them in their musical, school, and sporting events. "Papa" rarely missed a game whether home or away. Dick lives on in the hearts of friends and family--his wife of 31 years, Marlene Silliman; sons, Mark (Pam) Silliman, Scott Silliman, and Richard Rose Bissell; daughter, Diane Bissell; granddaughters, Samantha Rose and Chelsea Lynn Bissell; grandsons, Ryan, Thomas and Justin Silliman, John and Paul Carley, and Michael (fiancé Naomi) Sinn; great grandson, Ethan Sinn; and brother-in-law, Kenneth (Lulu) Downing. Dick was gentle, kind and loving. Words cannot convey how much he will be missed. A Family Memorial was held at the SchraubenLehman Funeral Home, Portland, MI July 6, 2011. For those desiring, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in memory of Dick. Online condolences may be made at www.schraubenlehman.com
