PUBLIC NOTICE
Cityhood Phase II
Committee Meeting
Today’s date
06/24/2009
Village of Spring Lake, Village Hall
102 West Savidge St.
Spring Lake, MI 49456
To Whom It May Concern, due to the lack of agenda items and the continuing work in progress of the Petition Drive, the scheduled Cityhood Committee meeting for July 2009 has been canceled.
Unless otherwise noted by agreement of Cityhood Committee Members, the next scheduled Cityhood Committee meeting will be in September.
Please note that Committee Members continue to be optimistic and that the Petition Drive continues to add the necessary signatures toward the total numbers required by the State Boundary Commission.
The Cityhood Committee thank you for your interest and participation, and if for some reason it is deemed necessary to schedule a meeting before September, there will be proper legal notification and time to allow public involvement and participation.
Thank you!
Would it not be better to simplify the system of taxation rather than to spread it over such a variety of subjects and pass through so many new hands?

Originally founded as the Village of Mill Point Launch in 1849, the members of the community adopted its first Village Charter and became the Village of Spring Lake in 1869. Although the community’s original ties to the lumber industry have long passed, the Village serves as a great place to live and continues to play a role in the northwest Ottawa County’s tourism industry. The community began as a wonderful place to live, work and play and that tradition continues today. Our community, which lies upriver from Lake Michigan, spans 1.1 sq. miles, and has a population of 2,514.
We hope that this web site will provide residents, visitors and businesses with valuable information about the community. Check back with us periodically for up-to-date information about topics being discussed by the Village Council and the various boards and commission, issues affecting the community, events that are occurring within the community and a guide to our menu of public services.

If You Have a Sewer Back-up…
If you experience an overflow or back up of a sewage disposal system, first please contact the Village of Spring Lake Department of Public Works to check the Village’s lines before calling a private plumbing firm. Call Doug Whitley, DPW Supervisor, at 842-1393 if during business hours. Call the non-emergency 911 phone number at 1800-249-0911 if during the weekend or after 4 PM.
If you have back flow damage, you must file a written claim with the Village of Spring Lake, within 45 days after the back up or overflow was discovered. Notice should be mailed to the Village Clerk's office at 102 W. Savidge Street, Spring Lake, MI 49456. Failure to provide the required notice will automatically prevent recovery of damages.
