The lift station pump on Highway 51 had unexpectedly burned up and had to be replaced. The cost was $8,376.10. This type of expense was not anticipated and had not been included in the budget. Therefore, it would be necessary to transfer the funds for the Sewer Savings Account to the Sewer Operating to cover the cost and to amend the appropriation ordinance.

After discussing the proposal to paint the walls at the village hall, the Board felt it would not be economically feasible nor necessary to move forward with painting the walls at this time and best to further investigate what should be done for village hall maintenance by committee. More than one estimate will be obtained for future jobs with a spec sheet for what the job entails.
Motion made by Paulette Johnson, seconded by Brian Gleason, to not paint the walls of the village hall. Upon roll call vote: Tony Rushing – Yes; Brian Gleason – Yes; Paulette Johnson – Yes; Eric Schuler – Yes; Jennifer Morgan – Yes; Cristy Desormeaux – Yes. Motion carried.
