Mr. Ammon thinks that the holes on Ivey Road should be fixed soon.
Mrs. Spinhirne is requesting a liquor license for Winslow River days for August 12-15th. The application was not received. It will be tabled until July 7th, next meeting.
Mrs. Hastings is concerned with the Krahmer residence. Per Mr Visel, we take no action. The new court date is June 11th. Mrs. Hastings is also concerned that the other properties cleaned up prior are getting littered again and should be straightened up. One is Joey Lomas and the other is at the foot of the hill.
Mr. Bunker stated that there are three or four leaks where the campers hook up at the campground. He’s guessing that it is about 2’ deep. We will look into repairing it.
Pump line should be flushed out. It hasn’t been done for 3-4 years. Mrs. Mc Phillips made a motion and it was seconded by Mr. Diffenderfer to have Sauders come out and pump out the campground area. Roll call was made. All were in favor. Motion carried.
Mr. Ammon is here to discuss the
property he has to sell to the Village.
Mr. Ammon wants to know what property is required. He has asked for a $1000 down payment so
they can hire a surveyor to give us a legal description, a map and acreage of
the land. Concensus is that we get
contracts out for both Mr. Ammon and Mr. Broge with the intent to purchase.
Mr. Ammon also
thought that we should get the fence out this fall. It will make it a lot easier than doing it in the spring.
STREETS, ALLEYS, BRIDGES AND
SIDEWALKS:
Mrs. Stark has 7 areas in the
village that have submitted applications for sidewalks totaling $3,425. Half is $1,712.50. Properties were Solace, Meyer apartment, Meyer office,
Schumacher, Hicks, Baker, and Kline.
Committee agreed that 8’ was good.
A motion was made by Mrs. Stark and seconded by Mr. Hastings to approve
these 7 sights for allocation of money to pay for the sidewalks at $1.50 per
square foot. Roll call was made, All
were in favor. Motion carried.
We are not getting any response on
some of the bad sidewalks in town.
Should we send them a letter asking if they had gotten the letter and
would they be interested in doing their sidewalk.
Mrs. Stark had talked to Mr. Bunker
on getting notebooks for each equipment.
He agreed to get them. However,
tonite he had said that he still did not have them.
Chris Isbell said that the group
highway department had been out her and said that the street in front of
Village Hall was OK and nothing needed to be done. However, there are several potholes and it would be dangerous for
anyone walking on or near it.
PUBLIC PROPERTY, WATER AND SEWER:
A vapor lock occurred and caused a
problem to the generator. A note from
Marlin Mason was issued to all. PDC
made 4 trips to install a new timer and troubleshoot the generator. Total bill is $802.33. It also states that a new transfer switch
may have to be purchased. Total price
for all is $2527.13 plus freight.
Mrs. Stark asked if we were going to
get anything done on the hydrants. We
are waiting for a decision on the grant money before proceeding. Hydrants are being flushed on June 21st.
HEALTH, WELFARE AND POLICE:
Mr.
Diffenderfer got hold of Mr. Zaleski regarding the property at 705 Taylor. He said we could put a no trespassing sign
on the property but said we should not board it up. We need to file a complaint with the States Attorney and get him
into court. Mr. Croup talked with Mr.
Beard and he said that our attorney must file the complaint, not the
Board. Mr. Diffenderfer recommended
that we put the No Trespassing signs around the property. Put out by sidewalk, one on East Side and
one on north side. Mr. Diffenderfer
motioned and it was seconded by Mrs. Graham to have Jerry place the no
trespassing signs around the nuisance property at 705 Taylor Street. All were in favor. Motion carried.
Can we mow the property on
Taylor? Mr. Diffenderfer will contact
Blain’s and see if we can get it done.
Mr. Hastings has suggested that we find another
attorney. Do we know about Mr.
Cox? Mrs. McPhillips says he knows
quite a bit on the TIF district and town assistance. Mrs. Mc Phillips made a motion and it was seconded by Mrs. Stark
to have Mr. Hastings contact Mr. Cox to see if he would be interested in
becoming our attorney. All were in
favor. Motion was carried.
Per Mr. Visel, we got another check
from Crime Stop for $1000. We also got
a bill for repairs to police vehicle.
Mr. Croup and Mr. Diffenderfer went
to New Glarus to visit with gentlemen who builds John Wick homes. He is willing to come down here and put in
an infrastructure. He wants to come
down here and meet with us and is very interested in doing everything. He wants to build a spec home if we wanted. Mr. Diffenderfer will contact the gentleman
and set up a date to visit our Board.
We also got a letter stating that we
did not get the housing development grant.
