Bellevue council approves July payments including large grant disbursements

The Village of Bellevue Council voted July 28 to pay the invoices presented for the July 28, 2026 check run, including several large grant-related disbursements. President B. Balkema called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m., and the council subsequently moved to pay the invoices; the motion was made by J. Willis and seconded by L. Pfiester and carried.

The invoices list notable line items: Grand River Construction (grant) for $529,136.80 and Wightman (grant) for $170,721.00 among other regular bills such as Bellevue Fire Control ($26,250.00), water and sewer vendor charges, and health-insurance payments (BC/BS entries). The payment pages showed a combined total of $711,380.89 for one page of disbursements.

Council members did not record a roll-call tally for the general payment motion in the minutes beyond "Motion carried." The vote to pay invoices was recorded separately from two later roll-call votes on different items at the same meeting.
