- Meeting Overview:
In a recent Little Falls Town Council meeting, officials addressed and updated the public on several issues affecting the township. Most notably, they discussed the water quality concerns raised by residents, the delay in the activation of a central town light, and plans for additional streetscape work slated for the summer. The meeting also included moments of commendation, as the Township Administrator was honored for a decade of service, and recognition was extended to a student-athlete and a police department member for their achievements and dedication.
The council addressed the reports of water issues that have been a concern for Little Falls residents. Despite complaints about odor and taste differences, the Mayor assured the public that the water meets all drinking standards. Furthermore, the Mayor acknowledged the delay in activating the much-anticipated light in the town’s center. The holdup was attributed to issues with the electric company, but the contractor was confirmed to be returning to work on the project.
The meeting then highlighted future plans, with the Mayor announcing intentions to begin additional streetscape work during the upcoming summer months. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the town’s aesthetic appeal and usability for residents and visitors alike.

A proclamation was made to honor the Township Administrator upon his retirement, celebrating his 10 years of service. A student-athlete’s achievements were also spotlighted, showing the council’s support for local talent and youth accomplishments. Moreover, the Chief of Police presented a plaque to Mr. Cucha, acknowledging his years of service to the Little Falls Police Department.
Councilwoman Patel reported on upcoming public health events that serve the community, such as a free eye screening and a session focusing on the importance of sleep in promoting well-being. Councilwoman Hablitz shared information about the library summer kickoff Carnival and the grand reopening of Wilmore Park’s playground. These updates reflect the council’s engagement with diverse aspects of community life and health.
Councilman Murphy discussed a partnership between the domestic violence prevention committee and the Bay County Prosecutor’s office, which will result in a presentation at P Valley High School. He also mentioned future initiatives the committee is planning, highlighting ongoing efforts to address and prevent domestic violence in the community.
In procedural matters, Councilwoman Patel requested that specific items on the consent agenda be voted on separately.
The meeting concluded with an open forum for public comments, allowing residents to voice general matters of concern or interest. The council then motioned to adjourn without further notable discussions or contentious points.
