The Village of Pioneer held its March 6, 2023 meeting at 7 p.m. After Mayor Ed Kidston called the meeting to order, the agenda for this meeting was approved, as were the minutes from the February 13, 2023 council meeting.
The financial report was accepted as presented, and the bills were approved to be paid. Council also approved the payment of the February Pioneer Hometown HDWR invoice for $1,443.99.
Police Chief Tim Livengood gave the police report, and discussion was held on wire and personal property bids.
The fiscal officer’s report detailed that there was a need to still schedule a Records Meeting.
Visitor Jennifer Bartlett got permission to rent out the community center for a July flea market.
Visitor Jeremy Thomas, who was seeking to rent out the community center for an Addicts Anonymous meeting was referred to look first at the local churches for a free venue before discussing rental rates for the community center with council.
Discussion was then held by council members on the benefits and drawbacks of implementing more solar farms to help make Pioneer have more clean energy during peak times as well as different methods of water placement.
After deciding to garner more information on the discussion topics, council then approved the bid proposal with Brownstown Electric Supply Company in Ordinance 3-2023.
Council then made a movement to adjourn the meeting at 8:19 p.m.
