Streets And Roads:

Trustee Vogeler spoke to Mark Rooney regarding the roads. The resolution was sent for MFT approval to pave the roads. He will walk the roads with Mark to consider recommendations. Trustee Vogeler stated he believes IDOT will take 2 weeks and then the job can be put out for bid. IDOT determines bid dates. Mark will also send to Orange Crush, Baker and Geske for bids. Rusty will call for street sweeping.

Health And Safety:

The Board is waiting for a presentation from Brian Valleskey at the next Board Meeting, prior to consideration of the Ordinance Amendment for Groundwater Protection.

The Fox waterway clean-up is being planned and volunteers are being sought.

Trustee Grothendick spoke to Prairieland Disposal to confirm May 19th services for Village Clean-up. Curbside electronics recycling will be available with one TV or Monitor allowed per home. He intends to call and ask about additional electronics pick-up at the Village Hall.

Police:

President Yeaton stated there is no update regarding the census.

104 homes still owe the vehicle tax. A spreadsheet will be sent to a collection agency that Wauconda uses. They will send a final notice to those who are non-compliant.

President Yeaton stated that Trustee Herstedt called Wauconda administration as the Village has received no funds from the 113 parking tickets written. 101 of them were written under the old Ordinance with fines of $100 each. No notice has been received regarding how many went to adjudication, if any.

The Board agreed to leave the due date for payment of the vehicle tax as May 30th.

Trustee Corrigan and Donna Erfort attended a class for E-Pay. They believe it will be functional by June. It will be tested in April and go live in May. The current forms must be simplified.

Parks And Beaches:

Trustee Cillo stated that the egg hunt was well attended.

The “Name the Dinosaur” contest is ongoing.

Trustee Cillo and Donna Erfort are working on ordering plants for Beach Park.

Rusty will order mulch for the parks.

Forestry:

There was no new information on this subject.

Building And Zoning:

Trustee Vogeler stated that he recommended moving reports regarding watershed development permits to another Engineering firm.

RFPs will be prepared by Jim Bateman for work on the Village Hall. Trustee Vogeler spoke to Jay Motley about materials. He suggested the Board purchase materials and hire someone to install. Home Depot offers a municipal discount. It would result in lower costs. There was discussion whether under that condition it would have to go to bid and mean no RFP.

Finance:

President Yeaton stated that Kevin Seiwart emailed asking to purchase only 3 of the 6 non- contiguous lots that were part of the Huddleston donation. The Board agreed to not split the 6 lots.

The Mohrs will offer a scholarship for residents with intention to enter the trades again this year.

The Village will offer a $500 scholarship again this year.

Trustee Vogeler stated concern that the Village Attorney created documents prior to approval of the Board and Village incurred costs for work they didn’t request. President Yeaton responded that the Village Attorney has never charged for something that was not pre-approved.

The recommended Budget that is the result of all budget meetings held by each Committee was distributed to the Board.
