Mr.
Bunker is taking a mild sedative and cannot work machinery while under the
medication. He takes it at 10:00 at
night and cannot use the machinery until 7:00 the next morning. This poses a problem with snow removal. It was agreed to talk about this in an
executive session.
STREETS, ALLEYS, BRIDGES AND
SIDEWALKS:
The water fountain by Boco is all
broken. A discussion was made to either
take the fountain out or replace it. A
suggestion was made to look into pricing of a new system and call a plumber to
see what it would cost to replace the plumbing.
Mrs. Stark volunteered to look into
this.
PUBLIC PROPERTY, WATER AND SEWER:
Lift Station will be washed
down. Mr. Mason should be there to
supervise.
Mr. Bunker said plow is all set for
winter work. It was verified by Mr.
Hastings and Mr. Croup.
HEALTH, WELFARE AND POLICE:
Per Mr. Visel, in the towing section
it shows that any vehicle that is in the way of snow removal can be towed
away. Discussion was made as to giving
a warning the first time. He said we
had approval to do this.
FINANCE AND APPROPRIATIONS:
A recommendation was made to give
Mr. Bunker a Christmas present. Mrs.
Wire motioned to get a gift certificate for $50 from Davey’s. Mr. Hastings seconded the motion. Roll call went as follows: Yea – 4, Nay – 1. The yeas have it. Motion
carried.
Do we really need to deal with the
sludge this year? What most communities
are doing is getting the permit, cleaning out the sludge, and then canceling
the permit. Cost is $2500. Mr. Mason was going to check into it and get
back to us. The work done by Fehr
Graham in the amount of $705 is a factor.
How long will this sludge last?
PERMITS AND LICENSE:
Committee met and went through and
approved the changes to the ordinance. So they are ready.
