ANNOUNCEMENTS AND FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: Bonnie Klapper arrived after the Public Appearances item on the agenda and asked if she could discuss her concern with animals running at large and the number of dogs allowed in the village. She stated that she has had a neighbor’s cat on her property and wondered what the ordinance is on this happening. She was told that there is the same ordinance for cats as dogs – they are to be under the control of their owner, and if they are not on a leash or on their property, they are running at large. She also questioned a neighbor who has too many dogs, and wondering why they were allowed to have them. Levitt explained that he has discussed this with them and they had a litter of pups that they weren’t able to sell all of them. They have been told to bring the number into compliance. More discussion was held on the two items, and will be watched.
Sutherland explained that the Street and Utility Committee will be meeting on Tuesday, July 6th and will be holding a public hearing regarding the addition of another sewer pond. It will be a public meeting to make people aware of the need for future work. He also reminded the board of other mandated things that will need to be done, and may need to ask for more utility rate increases to cover these items. Also, it will be decided what to do for the streets, and the committee is considering a referendum at the fall election to ask the residents what their feelings are for doing the street work that is needed.
Stemple noted that he noticed that some people who were at S&B Tubing were parking in the Bowman Parking lot – however they were not staying on the graveled area. He suggested that there be something done to try and prevent them from ruining the grass. It was suggested that either a chain fence be placed there delineating the parking and grass, or that the police department keep an eye on this.
Levitt expressed concern over the patrons of S&B Tubing wanting to get to the business this weekend when the Tub Run is in the village. He plans to speak to the owners to see what can be worked out.
Briggs stated that he was told by a member of the Chamber of Commerce to commend the police department and security officers for a job well done.
Keepers shared a letter from Ed Maksym of the school board explaining the status of the projects going on at the school.
ADJOURN: Motion by Briggs, seconded by Stemple to adjourn. Carried.
