Code Enforcement/HARB/Planning Commission Reports:

The Code Enforcement report was reviewed with no questions or comments. No reports from HARB or the Planning Commission.  Meeting is being established to review request for HARB request on 145 Penn Street to reconstruct front entrance.

Employee Report:

The Fireman’s carnival and Walk Fest were a success this year. We have kept up with our normal tasks like trimming roads and cold patching the areas needed. On a different note we had Safety Line come to paint lines all over town. We really enjoyed working with them, communication was easy and the whole town was done in about 6 hours. Everything went very smooth. We were successful when it came time to take the small trees out at Fountain Park. Everything went well and the new trees were placed and are looking good.

It has been brought to our attention that the lot on Center Street has a large hole that has been getting bigger. Over the years with us mowing it we haven’t really noticed it gaining size. Linn Auman has said that it has gained in size and depth. When the old building was taken down a lot of it was collapsed in on its self. This could create air pockets between debris and allow sinking. We are asking if we are to fill the area in, or to just let it go for now. Another project we have been working on is the street signs and stop signs. Through the years we have had alleys turned over and some streets have changed names. We have some maps calling some roads alleys and others calling the same roads streets. 911 will be contacted to better understand what is on their maps to better help us. We also have an alley with the name Coon. We would like to try and change that to at least Raccoon. This would be a better fit for town. 

John Segursky will get proposals on the cost to have the lot examined.

New Action Items:

Contract extension for Sewer License Only
