Grandville City Council Meeting 07/13/26
Published: Jul 13, 2026
City Council Approves Multiple Bills, Including Water Meter Project and Security System Upgrades
The city council approved various bills and invoices, including payments for the water meter project, fleet maintenance, clean water plant building construction, Fourth of July fireworks, and flow meter calibration. For the new fiscal year, invoices approved include those for a new cleaning company, services from the Greenville Jennison Chamber of Commerce, equipment purchase for phase two of a physical security project, and a storage unit rental.
City Council Tables Data Center Zoning Amendment for Further Planning Commission Review
The city council discussed amendments to the zoning ordinance regarding data centers. Initially, the proposed amendment was to be voted on, but after public comment and discussion among council members, a motion was made and supported to send the ordinance back to the planning commission for further consideration. Key concerns raised included the need for more stringent screening and landscape requirements, potentially stiffer penalties for noise ordinance infractions, and the placement of data centers in relation to residential areas. The council also considered two procedural paths: amending the current ordinance text or creating a data center overlay district, with the latter potentially drawing more visibility to data center development.
Ordinance Restricting Commercial Vehicle and Trailer Parking in Residential Areas Adopted
The city council adopted Ordinance Number 26-002, which amends regulations on vehicle parking in residential zoning districts. A key material change to the ordinance, added in response to council comments, is the inclusion of trailers in the definition of vehicles regulated by this ordinance. This ordinance aims to address issues related to commercial vehicles and trailers being parked in residential areas.
Fourth of July Celebrations Deemed Successful; Community Events Praised
The city council acknowledged the successful Fourth of July celebrations, with multiple residents and council members praising the parade, fireworks, and overall safety and organization. The Greenville Jennison Chamber of Commerce received invoices for facilitating the farmers market and summer music series, which have been noted as successful community events. The council also received positive feedback on the city's efforts to maintain community appeal and safety.
Granville to Provide Assessing Services to Walker Under Two-Year Pilot Program
The city council approved a two-year pilot agreement for Granville to provide assessing administration services to the city of Walker, utilizing Granville's city assessor, Charlie Decar. This intergovernmental partnership aims to save Granville approximately $40,000 annually, allow Charlie Decar to pursue his Michigan Master Assessing Officer designation, and provide Walker with much-needed assessing services. The agreement is subject to modifications by the city attorney to ensure appropriate liability protections for Granville. The council also discussed the potential benefits and structure of the agreement, including how costs and time would be split.
