AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION:

 

What was the set up for financing regarding the Paradise Cove.  There is a separate account set up for all the activities done at Paradise Cove.  Phyllis Broge would like to get a financial report showing all the activities, donations made, expenses, etc.  It was decided that Mrs. Graham could share her financial information with them at their meetings.

 

            Mr. Broge sold his house yesterday,

 

            Mr. Bunker would like to know if he can get a raise.   This would have to be discussed after the meeting and adjourn into an executive session.     The question came up as to what he was expecting.  Mr. Bunker said that he thought it would be a certain percentage.  He does not have insurance now and wants to see a pay raise to help with expenses.

           

STREETS, ALLEYS, BRIDGES AND SIDEWALKS:

 

            Ordinance book has not been done.

 

            Sidewalk update.  Letter is done.  It is late in the season but we could modify the letter and send it out so that they can have it.

 

            Mrs. Stark has not talked to Chris Isbell regarding street repairs.  Will try to contact him again.

 

 

 

PUBLIC PROPERTY, WATER AND SEWER:

 

 

            Mr. Hastings met with Mr. Lyvers from the Community Bank regarding a loan.  He is here to answer any questions.   Fehr Graham had estimated $325,000 for the infrastructure. Mr. Lyvers said that municipalities can be charged only 4 ½ to 5% interest.  There are also advantages for Village to handle the project.  One is that the money would go back to the Village. 

 

            Per Mr. Lyvers the Village needs to get non-profit organization set up.  They need to then get the loan to purchase the property.  Wayne Reed should be contacted and find a lawyer who can set it up.  Mr. Croup will contact Mr. Zaleski to see if there is a conflict.  The bank is ready to lend the money.

 

            Per Mrs. Wire there are three people who are interested in becoming a non-profit organization – Kate Wire, Linda Hook and David Lockett

 

            The electric motor on pump #2 that runs the air into the tanks is broken down.  We have one but if it also goes down the Village is in trouble.  Mr. Bunker notified Mr. Mason that it needs repair.  It keeps cutting the circuit breaker. 

 

               Fire Hydrant bid is in.  Flushing will be done on October 11th at 1:00 PM.  Leslie Mastroianni is re-writing the grant to include this and any pictures taken would be a great help.     

 

Mr. Krahmer’s water also needs to be repaired.  Motion was made by Mrs Wire and seconded by Mr. Hastings to go ahead with the repair for Mr. Krahmer’s shut off valve.  Roll call went as follows:

Yea:  Mr. Diffenderfer, Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Hastings, Mrs. Mc Phillips, Mrs. Stark, Mrs. Wire

Nay:  None

All were in favor. Motion approved.

 

 

 

 

HEALTH, WELFARE AND POLICE:

 

            Ordinances are good.  Regarding the house at 705 Taylor, rumor is they are going to try to fix it up and rent it out.  Brian to get in contact with Stephenson County Health Department and get it condemned. 

            Neighborhood Watch:  Within the next two weeks there will be a meeting including the police, etc.  First stage is for informational purposes only.  There will be stages to this. 

 

            The Village needs to get the new Ordinance Book together.  Sections are almost complete.  There are details to be worked out at this time.
