Correspondence & Reports

 

Supervisor, John Dawson:

  1. Investment Report:  The Investment Report ending on June 13th, 2018 was accepted as presented by the board.
  2. Supervisor Dawson presented audited reports for review and signature.
  3. Supervisor Dawson presented Stenger Lawn Maintenance mowing invoice for review and approval. After board reviewed, Trustee Clinch made motion to approve invoice # 9791, seconded by Trustee Gudat; followed by a unanimous “Aye” voice vote.

Road Commissioner, Frank Sturm, II: 

  1. We did our street tour last Friday. I am calculating quantities and need to prepare an estimate.
  2. Sweeping of streets with curb and gutter is done. .
  3. Next week, the crew will be removing and replacing several culverts on Ivy Lake Road, in preparation of tilling and seal coating. .
  4. Talked to the state about the salt order form.  They no longer mail the order form.  They emailed it to the former secretary’s email, which is no longer a valid email.  Their new policy is: they email the form the first time, if no response, they email it a second time, if no response, you are off the list.  No follow-up and no phone calls, you are just off the list.  I talked to Cargill, and we can contract directly with them.  Should know price per ton by the end of June or middle of July.
  5. Apparently, the license agreement with Last Chance was dropped off their priority list.  They have gone quiet since last month. Guess I will have to get their attention back.
  6. We did get the speed bumps installed on the entrance to ball fields.
