January Mayor’s Corner

January 16, 2023 By City of Eaton Rapids

 For this month’s article, I would like to reflect on a few things that City Council accomplished in 2022. We had some challenges, but were able to keep our focus on what was best for the City, which is our top priority. We worked through the hiring of a City Manager, and while we had to part ways with one, we welcomed another one mid-year and that has been a very positive experience. We changed the Quality-of-Life department back to Parks, Recreation and Events and with that, promoted Parks Coordinator Corey Cagle to Director of Parks, Recreation and Events. We are excited about having more events this year! 

Council made the tough decision to close the recycling center located at the DPW; however, we created a committee in conjunction with our township partners, to develop a new location and facility for recycling for the community. We are really excited about the plans for this, so please be watching for more information coming soon! 

The Planning Commission started reviewing the revised Zoning Ordinance. Once that is completed, their recommendation will come to City Council for review and final adoption. We are shooting for them to wrap up their review in April, then Council will start their review. There will be public hearings on this so I will keep you updated as we get closer to that time. 

The Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA) changed their meeting times from every other month to monthly, so they could work on pressing issues in a timelier manner. They most recently approved new signage that will be installed this spring at both the north and south industrial parks. 

The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) started the new year with a new Main Street Director but is ending the year with the director leaving. The DDA is starting the new year with a fresh focus on how to best move forward with the Michigan Main Street program but will be working alongside the Eaton Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, and other entities to collaborate for future projects. 

I will be giving our annual State of the City address at the February 13th City Council meeting. This will highlight accomplishments of the past year, but will also lay out some goals and objectives for this new year. You are welcome to attend, both in person and virtually. 

Have a great January! 

Mayor Pam Colestock
