CALUMET While the Village Council has invested more than a year, and thousands of dollars, in restructuring of the zoning ordinance for the sake of marijuana-related businesses, the investments have come at the expense of other council business. One example, according to a source, is the village’s annual budget. The council is on deadline to pass a budget by Feb. 25, and while no one has yet seen it, it is being drafted by former Village President Dave Geisler. Other questions have also arisen under the new administration, while others persist.
Village Clerk Kevin Weir who was recently reappointed to the position, brought up a number of them in a recent email to Village President Brian Abramson, Manager Caleb Katz, and Trustees Andrew Ranville, Roxanne King and Lori Weir.

Former clerk Rob Tarvis has rejoined the Calumet Village Council after his reappointment Tuesday. Tarvis was previously asked to resign in March, 2017, when he had only attended one meeting in five months.
CALUMET The Village Council voted unanimously to appoint former clerk Rob Tarvis to the council Tuesday at its regular monthly meeting.
In his letter of interest to the council, Tarvis related that he has been a resident of the village since 2004, and had previously served as village administrator from 2014-16, so he is familiar with the village finances and other issues that have been ongoing since then.
