NEW BUSINESS

            The Street Committee met and discussed using the LRIP (Local Roads Improvement Program). The LRIP funds can only be used for blacktop and must be used by the end of June. It is a matching grant that will cover repaving Arlington Avenue from 4th Street to 2nd Street and the committee recommends also including the next block to the east. The estimated grand total for the whole project is about $65,000 of which the LRIP would cover $19,000 and the rest would come from the Street Outlay Account. Ben Hester moved to proceed with the Arlington project as recommended by the Street Committee, second Dave Ebner. Carried 5-0

            The Street Committee also reported that the 11th Street project is ready to go out for bids and that Gary Strand is going to send the latest plan for the Safe Routes to School project to the State for approval.

            Jaden Ebert approached the Parks Committee about closing the 3rd Street Park and possibly selling the property. After some discussion the board decided to research to see how the Village obtained the property to make sure that it can legally be sold.

 

As there was no further business to attend to, at 6:29 Steve Johnson moved to adjourn, second Randy Hill. Carried 5-0
