Patten Street is moving forward, the process still some years out from completion. The Boyd Village Board approved a contract with Ayres Associates to help submit paperwork and navigate the grant process for street work,.
“The proposal you are looking at tonight is essentially the design of the project through construction documents,” Ayres Associates representatives Brian Lambert told the village board.
Said proposal was approved for the amount of $282,000 with a motion by Michael Eslinger that was seconded by Village President Bob Geist, with condition that attachment C of the contract on compensation be modified to a time and material contract and be approved by the village president and streets committee. The village will be billed by Ayres monthly for services based on hours worked, with the project’s next steps coming in the spring and drawings in summer 2025.
Also approved at the Dec. 9 meeting, the village’s law enforcement agreement with Stanley will enter its third year, motion made by Sarah McQuillan and seconded by Casey Dorn. The law enforcement contract starts Jan. 1 and ends Dec. 31 of each year, the village agreeing to pay $76,817.59 for law enforcement services during the duration of the agreement. In exchange the City of Stanley will provide a minimum of 30 hours per week of law enforcement services and protection in the village, determined by the city with input from the village.
Also covered but briefly was a lawnmower purchase, the board opting to table the matter to January.
Speaking during public comment meanwhile, former village president and current Boyd Legion commander Gerry Gully spoke about the Boyd Legion Hall, saying it was open for use by the community.
“Years back we served our country and now we’d like to serve the local community,” he said. “We have a nice building.”
Those interested in more information on use of the Boyd Legion Hall can call 715-667-3528.
