Maintenance Report

We will rent a lift for use in painting the downtown light poles. 

The tube and ditch line have been completed by the Park District and Jerry Heinrich’s residence.

Fisher’s will be here this month to repair the storm drain by the school and to clean the tube on E. South St.

 Streets & Alleys

 There will be no street maintenance done this year due to the large downtown sidewalk project.

WATER & SEWER

Brinkmeier’s Plumbing will be splitting the water service at two houses on Main St so each house will have its own water-shutoff.

The farm fee for Mitchell’s should be resolved; if no payment is received a notice will be posted for shut-off.

The garbage fee will be removed from Dal Murray’s renters as they do not use the pickup service.

 CEMETERY

 Another Memorial tree fell over during our last wind storm.  The tree will not be replaced.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

Visel Construction would like to erect a new shed and use our property to get to his site.  He has been informed that he will need to come to the next meeting to discuss this issue with the board.

 Police

Stephenson County handled several complaints from within the Village.  The complaints involved a cat being shot by an arrow and fireworks being set off on Memorial weekend.  The board has requested that we get more police hours.  President Knoup will speak with Larry requesting that the police officers work more hours or hire more part-time officers.
