Trustee Cavanagh reported waiting for a few quotes for the replacement of town garage at 318 E Locust.
Trustee Schroen reported that we need to send a letter notifying the citizens if they are going to have excessive trash there will be an additional charge and if they have mattresses etc they need to be wrapped in plastic before they will be picked up. He also requested the golf cart ordinance be put back on the agenda for July 26th regular board meeting.
Superintendent Harn reported the need for updating the aerators for the primary pond at the sewer plant. The system is from 1978 and is going to cost approximately $13,000 to replace but the update needs to happen sooner than later as things are starting to fail. Also asked the Trustees if the cones at Memorial Pond could be pulled, the citizens have been distraught about them still being out. He was informed to pull the barricades.
Superintendent Ledford informed the board of Trustees that he put in his resignation letter and July 29th would be his last day. He also agreed to remain the water operator in charge until Superintendent Harn receives his water license. Everybody thanked him for his service.
Public Input: Kay Grizzle voiced her concerns about the neighbors to the east having uncontrollable fires and embers landing on her house/property. Lana Bell questioned the ordinance regarding how tall one’s grass can be and what the fine was for it. (it has to be 8inches and if the town mows it they will be charged $100 each time) Carolyn Barrett would like to see the times you can put your garbage to the curb and when your cans have to be retrieved posted.
