New brief

Lake Orion Village has taken bids for crack sealing work to be done within the Village of Lake Orion. To save money, the village has again taken bids for 2011 and eliminated HRC from the handling and bidding process. Letters were sent to five companies but only Scodeller Construction replied with a rate of $1.59 per lineal foot sealed. DPW Superintendent Mike Olson has recommended the hiring of Scodeller for the project, as they have worked for the village in the past, for the cost not to exceed $7,000. The work is to be finished before Oct. 15.

In case you haven’t heard: there’s a Lake Orion school board election slated for May 3. If you plan on voting for the election and are not registered, your last chance to do so is April 4. The clerk’s office reminds locals, if you have moved recently — even within the township — you need to register. For more info call the township at 248-391-0304, ext. 104.
