TREASURER’S REPORT
Dwight Johnson reported a normal month of spending, and on budget. Water usage is down. A motion was made by Colleen Slane to accept the treasurer’s report, and Bob Anderson seconded the motion. Roll call vote- all approved. Motion carried.
DALE BISHOP’S REPORT
All water and sewer operations are normal. Levels at the lagoons are back to normal and have recovered after recent heavy rains. Some culverts in the village were plugged but no calls were received regarding flooding. Water service shutoff notices will go out tomorrow. Lagoons were prepped and seeded at a cost of $600, as opposed to the $1400 expected. The concrete at the water tower for a new generator has been poured. Ameren replaced the gas valve and gas meter at the water tower. Getting the generator hooked up is the last item to be accomplished. Village personnel are cleaning culverts and clearing ditches of debris accumulated during recent storms. The grass at the parks have been fertilized and treated for weed control. The light at the intersection of RT 91 and Legion Hall Road will be going up soon. The light at North Park could be replaced soon, as well. The new emergency response radios have delivered and need to be programmed. We will share frequencies with Dunlap Fire Department, Princeville Fire Department and Medina and Radnor Townships.
INDIVIDUAL PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
Beau Feuchter and John Disharoon, both of Dunlap, introduced themselves as candidates for the open board position. Jack Fennell thanked them both for coming and stated that the board would vote to appoint a board member at the June board meeting.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Jack Fennell –Jason McGinnis is going from 28 to 32 hours a week. He will now have health insurance coverage.
Colleen Slane- Police Reports were reviewed. 30 homes participated in the community garage sale. The village paint program has been posted. The Village’s Facebook page has over 1400 likes now. 17 vendors have signed up for Dunlap Days. Due to the intensity of labor and time required to put Dunlap Days together, the committee has decided to change the format for next year’s event. Jack Fennell expressed his desire to keep Dunlap Days going with more participation by the Village board members, and new members for the Dunlap Days committee.
Sheila Taylor- Nothing to add
Jack Esterdahl- Although the Village had a verbal commitment from the school district to help share the cost of installing a new sidewalk on Legion Hall Road along the high school and grade school properties, the school district backed out of any financial cooperation after the bids were received. Mr. Esterdahl would like to approach them again. The school district has expressed that they will approve the easement. Aaron Barrington added that the school district helping in any way would be a good faith gesture since the Village has a history of helping the schools in the past. Discussion followed. Mr. Esterdahl also addressed the board regarding plans for purchasing trees for Central Park. That purchase will wait until later in the year.
Aaron Barrington- Nothing to add.
Bob Anderson- The zoning board has finished its recommendations for ordinances regulating the number to vehicles parked on grassy areas of personal property. Those will be coming for approval next month. The zoning board is now looking at ordinances for signage of multi-tenant commercial buildings. That should be ready for approval in a month or two.
Jack Fennell added that he spoke with Hanna City personnel about GNO waste management. Their residents pay 12.95 per month. More to follow on this in the future. Mr. Fennell is asking that all committees keep track of their various projects throughout the year. The village could do a better job of fostering community spirit. We also need to beef up our welcome packet.
Dwight Johnson reviewed the proposed budget for the 17/18FY. Sheila Taylor made a motion to accept the FY17/18 Budget, and Colleen Slane seconded the motion. Roll call vote- all approved. Motion carried.
Colleen Slane made a motion to adjourn, and Bob Anderson seconded the motion. Roll call vote- all approved. Motion carried.
