UNFINISHED BUSINESS
The Keno check was in the amount of $2,326.77
Water consumed: (637,000); water paid for: (531,000); balance for month:
(-106,000); YTD: (-1,804,000). Discussion was held on the recent water tests. The Community Center tested 1 for E. coli which put the village into a water boil notice. The Village has been working closely with DHHS and RWD#3 on the water. The field representative came down and thought it was the school not using enough water to flush the lines like they should be with a bigger water line coming into the building. Samples from other parts of the village continue to come back good. The Cease Water Boil signs were put up the 20th. Bohl Plumbing was contacted to shut the water off to the back classrooms and men’s locker room. The Village will continue to take samples and monitor the water. The schoolhouse will be taken off our sample site plan.
Schoolhouse items: Clerk reported the heating units were working well in the classrooms and the utility bill was lower this last month. The new street light out front of the gym is lighting up the parking lot and will be a lot safer for the public at night.
Coop Property: Attorney Jerry Stilmock is waiting to see the corrected copy of the Deed. Chairman Crownover will deliver that to him. Tom Compton has offered to manage renting out the Quonset for campers, boats, etc. in exchange for parking his camper at no charge.
