A thank you note from the Triginta Club was received for use of the deck for their Music On The Deck series. SEWER: Vern Best reported that a grant has been applied for. Don Hyrns moved to approve the “Agreement to Amend Agreement Creating Bear Lake-Pleasanton Feasibility Board dated March 29, 2000”.

The council declined to endorse Vern Best as he lost with a vote of 3 for and 3 against. President Moore appointed Jim Reed to be the Village representative on the Sewer Board until our October council meeting. BUILDING: The cement walls have been poured for the new sand building. A principle concern discussed was air pockets. LIBRARY: Carol Urbanus moved to approve the “Amended Agreement Creating the Keddie-Norconk Memorial Library Board”. The motion was seconded and carried. Based on the results of his efforts Vern Best was asked to serve on the library board. Cloyse Griffin moved to put Vern Best on the board. Seconded & carried. PARK: Park caretaker Carol Urbanus reported that efforts are now underway for a new drain field in Hopkins Park. Jim Reed moved to let the drain field out for bids. Seconded and carried. SIDEWALKS: Jim Reed raised the issue of a downtown business owner asking for a new sidewalk with stamped and painted cement that Jim did not approve of. He suggested we look into a uniform style of sidewalk for the entire downtown area. TREES: Carol Urbanus moved to have a dead tree taken down on Main Street at a cost of $1,500. Seconded and carried. WATER: Of particular concern is a possible water leak on Lake Street. Howard is to determine the exact nature of the problem. INTERNET: The latest figures of contacts at the Village sites on the Internet reported by Vern Best shows an increase in interest. NOISE AND NUISANCE ORDINANCE: Vern Best requested the Village to pass a noise and nuisance ordinance because there is noise at the school construction site before 7 a.m. Noise officer Jim Reed stated the crews were getting ready for work. Len Steinberg recommended that Carol Urbanus speak to the school superintendent about the noise. PARKING: The issue was raised about teachers parking in front of residences blocking driveways on Lynn Street. The Council decided a viable solution would be to put up signs stating “Resident & Guest Parking Only”. CELL TOWER: Jim Reed asked the Council to consider letting the cell tower company use our driveway at the sand building instead of the company putting in a new driveway to the north of the property. The consensus was in favor. Meeting adjourned at 9.30 p.m. Respectfully, Joanne Schroeder, Clerk |
