The meeting was started directly at 7:00pm. The pledge was sung. The members did a roll call to see if all were in attendance. Two were not; they arrived 15-20 minutes late. They went over old business from the minutes of secretary, Sherri Parks. The meeting was being ran by Robert’s Rules of Order. New business is started with the Road Commissioner, Raymond Van Guilder talking about a village pipe that is plugged that will flood several homes if not fixed. The board does not like this because they have to fix it, but they don’t want to pay for it. Road commissioner tells village board that they are responsible by law to fix the pipe or be possibly sued in the future. The board looks at the price and different companies that can do it. They fight over it for a good 15 minutes. Next they move on to street and alleys maintenance. They talked about the new sidewalks and playground areas. They talked about the renovation of the old sportsmen building. They bring up a proposal of a bike trail around the quarry area and talk of a trail connecting to Custer Park. A state grant would foot the cost of this project! Ordinances and other village business were talked about. They want to sell a mosquito sprayer to anyone who wants it. They talked about a flood plain ordinance but it wasn’t relevant because the county has never created a flood map! They talked about police reports and then the public had its say in the meeting. An old lady complained about water standing in her yard and driveway. An old man complained about hearing roosters in town, hearing barking dogs, and his neighbors’ cats, abandoned cars, and plants that were over 8 inches tall. They also talked about removing the pop machines due to many recent thefts.
