            Per Mr Visel a letter was sent to the Rosberg residence regarding clean up of their property.  They have 10 days from 12/6 to comply.  Mr. Hastings made a motion and seconded by Mrs. Graham that we get a dumpster up to the Rosberg Residence on the 17th if proper clean up has not been accomplished.  Roll call was made.  All were in favor.  Motion carried.

 

            Three other vehicles were marked for towing.  They should be gone by this weekend.

 

            Mr. Hastings asked Mr. Bunker what his intentions for snow plowing were.  The medicine has limited him to no snow plowing between the hours of 10 and 7.  Mr. Bunker says that with him working on the weekend, why would he have to pay someone for snow plowing?  It was noted that the job had always included the weekends.  Mr. Hastings asked that should we look for someone else?  Mr. Bunker said if that is what you want, go ahead.

 

            Jan Ellyn Holloway from Fehr Graham handed out a preliminary engineers estimate for the CDAP construction grant to submit by the end of the month for the water project for the village.  There are several goals.  The first is to create a loop from water tower to School Street.  This would update Carver and School Streets.  It also creates a water main for the new addition.  They also want to replace all fire hydrants.  Another aspect is to get a valve for the water tower or well house.  They will also replace the curb stops in the homes.  75% from DCEO for grant money and the 25% are the responsibility of the Village.  This proposal has to be submitted by January 10th.

 

            The Village has to come up with $133,612.  The cap on CDAP is $400,000 and we must be able to come up with the difference.  There is a lot of work to be done to come up with funding.  At this time, we will not sign the resolution.  We will have a plan available and contact the bank.  We should let them know that we have a loan that is almost complete.  We also have only 25% of the full price to pay.  The bank is also going to benefit from the new water system.  We have a team to go to the bank.  They consist of Mr. Hastings, Mr. Croup and Mrs. Mc Phillips.  Once this is done, then there will be a special meeting with Fehr Graham.

 

            Mr. Ammon is ready to sign the contract.  Mr. Broge had a topographical map that he is concerned about.  He’s claiming that the map cost him $6000.  He would like to see the Village purchase the map.  Mr. Croup explained that we need to have a receipt for the map in order to pay for it.  Mr. Tuell is not willing to pay for the map and has suggested that the Village convince Mr. Broge that we work on the project for a bit and then purchase with the TIF money.

 

STREETS, ALLEYS, BRIDGES AND SIDEWALKS:

 

            Mrs.Wire has a few proposals for the lights.  We have twelve lights to put up.  There are four poles that need electric put to them.  Total sum is $1,858.00.  Mrs. Mc Phillips made a motion to have Erner Electric install 12 new Christmas Lights and install four new receptacles on poles.  Mr. Hastings seconded the motion.  Roll call was made.  All were in favor.  Motion carried.

           

PUBLIC PROPERTY, WATER AND SEWER:

 

            Taylor Street – 10-12 firemen will be going around on Saturday with a petition for the community to get the house on Taylor burned down.

 

HEALTH, WELFARE AND POLICE:

           

            Nothing

 

FINANCE AND APPROPRIATIONS:

 

            New water loop has been covered.  We have to look into funding for the infrastructure.  Can we look at Motor Fuel Tax for the street? 

 

PERMITS AND LICENSE:

 

                        Nothing

                       

OTHER BUSINESS:

 

            The church retaining wall is being done.  They would like to get material out of the way because the area they want to dump the rubble is too soft..  They would like permission to put the rubble in an empty lot.

 

            The Taylor Street Repair will not get done this year.  We need another resolution for next year.

 

            Furnace proposal from L & S was received.  Mr. Hastings made a motion to contact L & S to do the first part of the proposal.  Mr. Diffenderfer seconded it.  Roll call was made.  All were in favor except for one abstention.  Motion was carred.
