Maintenance Report
See attached report
The village will stripe the new Devore St. after the street has been approved and signed off.
Streets & Alleys
Fehr & Graham have sent a payment request for partial payment to Fischer’s for the work completed on Devore St. Fehr & Graham did not give us an amount to pay, so Brian will contact them for the amount since this is a Motor Fuel Tax street.
Brian made a motion to make the partial payment to Fischer’s with the amount to be determined by the engineering firm. Motion was second by Todd. Motion carried.
Rob reported that he has been using the new street sweeper.
The salt supply is ready for winter use.
WATER & SEWER
Fehr & Graham will need to come out and look at the sand filter. There is very little flow going through. If they cannot get the filter running properly, we will put the new rock filter in that cell.
The rock filter plans have been completed and the EPA permits for the filter are ready to send out.
The homes that are on the overdue water bills list will have a 24 hour notice given to them.
CEMETERY
The vault was dug on the disputed stone to identify which funeral home it was from. Hermann’s funeral home confirmed that the stone had been placed on the proper gravesite.
The fill along the east side has been seeded and is now growing.
Buildings & Grounds
No report
Police
It was reported that the officers have been getting 120 hours in each month.
Liquor
Yellow Creek Inn has requested permission to fence in the parking lanes next to the building during the next Bear/Packer game, so that they may grill turkeys outside. John Hawes did not disapprove since he will not be open.
Jim made the motion to allow a special use permit to use the sidewalk/parking lanes for the Bear/Packer game for outside cooking on that Sunday only. Motion second by Larry. Motion carried.
Old Business
Discussion regarding the TIF agreements brought forth the decision to put a program in place before any final word is given to the former owners of Yellow Creek Inn.
The Yellow Creek Watershed committee held another meeting that Jim attended.
Every meeting will involve a different sector of people to get all involved in helping to keep the creek cleaned out. They have applied for grant money, but will not get any decision until spring.
The Car Show had 93 participants registered. It was held on Homecoming Blvd. this year, which seemed to work much better than blocking off the streets. The donation of proceeds will be given to the Red Cross Chapter.
A letter of appreciation will be sent to the Community Development Committee.
New Business
Motion to adjourn at 7:50 pm by Larry. Second by Todd.
Motion carried.
