Reports of Village Officials
Mayor Hill advised that the Blower Unit, Boiler parts and a couple of the AC Window Units still have not been sold. She asked permission from the Council to place the items for sale on Market Place on behalf of the Village. The Council agreed for the Mayor to do so.
Mayor Hill reported that there was a situation at the lift station and asked Chriest if he’d like to explain further. Chriest reported that both pumps were plugged up, so they had to do some bypass pumping and monitor the situation until Mississippi Valley Pump was able to come jet and vacuum. Mayor Hill advised that there was overtime from monitoring the situation until it got under control. Mayor Hill also told Chriest that they did a great job handling the situation. Commissioner Kendell asked what it was plugged from. Chriest advised there were some coupon remnants from the Sewer Relining Project and also a lot of sand. Chriest reported that more action may be needed with a vac and jetter, and he’s currently comparing renting the equipment verse hiring someone to come do the work.
Remarks from Guests
There were no Remarks from Guests at this time.
Unfinished Business
Next on the Agenda was to discuss Water Tower and Sewer Plant Updates. Chriest advised that he did order one scale for the Chlorine through Hawkins, Inc., who the Village will now be ordering Chlorine and Fluoride through at a cheaper cost. It will save the Village approximately $1,000 per year. Chriest said he is currently monitoring the Fluoride through water samples but will need to order a scale for that as well. Commissioner Kendell asked the cost of the scales. Chriest advised they are $2,500 each and he still needs to order one more. Mayor Hill advised that we’re currently waiting on some more updated information from Matt Hansen as well.
New Business
A motion was made by Commissioner DeBrock, second by Commissioner Kendell, to approve the Lease Renewal Agreement for RCC Room Rental with Lawrence Batten Trucking LLC. “Yes” votes were Morales, DeBrock, Kendell and Mayor Hill. The motion carried.
Next the Council discussed Renewing Illinois Municipal League Insurance Coverage and Payment. Mayor Hill advised that there is one update with this information. The Day Care has been removed from the Department list on the Breakdown for 2023. The amount listed with the Day Care will be reallocated in the remaining departments so the pricing will not change. Clerk McIntire reported that the rates did not increase and actually went down a little compared to last year. In years past the Village has gone with Option #3 – paying in two installments and Clerk McIntire advised doing that again this year. Then the first payment can be made this year and the second half next year. This amount is figured into the budget with the Property Tax that the Village receives. The option to approve payment will be on the next meeting agenda.
Building Permits
Building Permits issued by Village Zoning Administrator, Art Spencer, are 201 W. Glassburn St. – Siding House.
