Reports of Village Officials

Commissioner Maupin said he will be sending messages out about the Men’s Basketball Leagues starting again next Wednesday, and that will be every Wednesday at 7:00 PM.
Remarks from Guests
A village resident, Susan Frank, asked if when they do the hot dogs and food for the kids, is there donations given for that. Mayor Hill said yes and there were supplies left from the recreation board, and the daycare asked to use that since she does have her food handlers license. Otherwise when there are events, the daycare will ask Casey’s, Walmart, all over for donations. They’re pretty resourceful. They look for donations to cut costs or use any monetary donations they may receive.
Village resident Al Morthland asked if a day was set yet to pick up the Electronic Recycling. Mayor Hill said there isn’t one set yet, but she would definitely like something set up and posted as soon as possible and before the snow starts. And she encouraged people to call in if they do have anything to be picked up so she could see what kind of a demand there was for it and to start a schedule around what’s needed. Mayor Hill is also going to see if there are any organizations around town willing to help carry any of the items into the trailers and help residents get their items there. So call in or stop by to let Anna know if you have any items to be picked up or dropped off.
Resident Al Morthland asked what the pipe out by the sewer plant is for. Mayor Hill said it’s to fix the drain field.
Resident Sue Franks asked if Denise Brooks resignation was accepted. [Tampico Historic Preservation Advisory Committee]. Mayor Hill said she, [Brooks], did not send in a resignation and she also spoke with her and she said she does not want to resign right now.
Village resident Mary Jo Sigel asked how many people are working for the daycare. Mayor Hill said 4, and there are some that are in the rotation that are on call, so they’re not actively on the schedule on a regular basis. Resident Sigel asked because she didn’t see any listed besides Sarah. Clerk Leathers said they’re on the daycare’s budget, and that’s controlled by their board. Clerk Leathers has that information if needed.
Resident Al Morthland asked how many kids does the daycare have. Mayor Hill said there are 5 children and 1 part time child. She said it’s going along very well.
A village resident, Rick Lance, asked what the daycare charges. Mayor Hill directed him to contact Sarah at the daycare for all the different rates that the daycare offers, because it does differ depending on the situation. She said it is very reasonable and pretty much the going state rate.
There was no unfinished business.
