Galien Village Council
Special Meeting
Thursday, October 27, 2022
Present: P. Mielke, P. Palmer, T. Richter, S. Schmitz, E. Swank, C. Veilleux
Absent: J. Rochman
The Special Meeting of the Galien Village Council was called to order by President P. Palmer at 6:00PM on Thursday, October 27, 2022 at the Galien Village Hall.
Call to order and roll call was followed by Pledge of Allegiance.
Attorney Sara Senica was in attendance and briefed the board and all in attendance on testing and problems the Village is experiencing with sewer lagoons. She also briefed all on discharge from Med Farm (Fell Cannabis) facility.
Med Farm has responded to a letter sent to them from the village asking that they voluntarily unhook from the Galien Village sewer system. They stated they don’t think it is coming from the guard shack online and they would like to keep that online and just cap off the head house.
Med Farm does not know where this waste is coming from.
Attorney Senica said we needed to make the decision to cap the system at the street or let them stay hooked up. If we decide to cap the system the board needs to state when and send a letter informing Med Farm of the board decision.
The Council members then discussed issue.
S. Schmitz moved, supported by T. Richter to cap Med Farm connection to the Village sewer system on Friday, October 28, 2022 at 2:00PM and to void all sewer agreements with Med Farm
(Fello Cannabis). The vote was 6 yeas, 0 nays, 1 absent. Motion carried.
