<>Motion: by Gemza/Williams to approve the payment of bills as read. All in favor. Carried. 

LRIP Bids: were presented by:

American Asphalt

~Chris Loken of American Asphalt asked if MCC had a bid bond. Osowski replied “No”. A bid bond allows the village to pursue the bonding company to pay to complete an unfinished job by the company hired.  

<>Motion: by Moore/Kaminski to approve the bid from American Asphalt for Option 2 in the amount of $24,870.00. All in favor. Carried.  <>American Asphalt also presented a bid estimate for blacktopping the parking lot at the Village Office.

Applications for Operator’s Licenses were presented for:

Jeanne Jetty, Patricia Sikorski, Jennifer Lehman, Cheryl Doede, Shelly Simonis, Larry Karch & Doris Karch.

Motion: by Kaminski/Williams to approve the operator’s licenses. All in favor. Carried.

<>**Moore asked the board to consider converting the operator’s licenses to a two year period. 

4-H Club Sign: Lisa Mecurio represented the 4-H club. General consensus of the Board is to allow the 4-H club to display their sign on a separate sign post for organizations, constructed by the Village with the location being determined by the Street/Building & Ground/Parks Committee. The 4-H club will design and purchase their sign and have the Village mount it on the specified pole. 

<>

Randolph Street Hillside:

Osowski expressed he tried to obtain bids from Triple K whose work load was too heavy to submit a bid at this time and from Steve Rutta who never responded. The bid on file from Egle Landscaping in the amount of $2,838.00 was presented.

Motion: by Gemza/Williams to approve the bid from Egle in the amount of $2,838.00. Kaminski abstained due to conflict of interest. All others in favor. Carried.

<>Motion: by Williams/Moore to prepare a Resolution to use funds from the Capital Improvement fund to complete the project. All in favor. Carried. 

Sewer Plant Fence: Bids were presented from:

~Straight Line Fence for Barb wire in the amount of $2,250.00

~Security Fence for Chain Link in the amount of $4,123.00

~American Fence Company for Chain Link in the amount of $4,840.00

Sewer Committee Recommendation: Moore started the recommendation with a question about the footage between the poles. Would it be best if they were 12 feet or 20 feet apart? Bob was not in attendance to answer this question. Williams asked why the bids included woven material. Moore said they got pricing on chain link if the board is interesting in maintaining a consistent aesthetic look.

<>The committee recommends the item be tabled until August to allow time to get questions answered. 

Condemnation Procedures: The cost for services of the Building Inspector is $30.00 per hour. It will take approximately 6 hours to prepare a report and supporting pictures.

<>Motion: Kaminski/Moore to authorize the Village Building Inspector to start the condemnation process at 348 Maple Street (owned by Thomas & Teresa Pierce). All in favor. Carried. 

Dog Ordinance Amendment: Wording from the General Code Samples was presented. Osowski stated, now is a good time to enforce an animal control ordinance. The general consensus of the board is to draft an ordinance which states:

It shall be unlawful to maintain on any residence, dwelling unit or lot within the village, dogs and cats over the age of six (6) months that exceed the following:

(a)    No more than 2 dogs and 2 cats

<>       (b)    No fostering, adopt a pet, or rescue centers within the Village.  
 

Sewer Committee Report: Moore stated the Sewer Plant Operation received an excellent Grade Point Average. She also suggested we allocate funds in the budget to be used towards fencing and future repairs considering the side fence looks rusty also.

President Comments: Osowski stated he met with the Fair Association in regards to what maintenance and repairs need to be done. The Fair Association showed appreciation to the open communication from the Village Board.

<>Board Comments: Kaminski stated the project of removing culverts at Footbridge Park and 180 Grand Ave E (owned by Al & Lisa O’Neil) has not been completed satisfactorily and needs to be dealt with and fixed. The Board agreed and will allow Kaminski to develop a list of what needs to be done to complete the job.  <>The Board would also like to develop an open communication with Maintenance Bob so they know what he is planning for the next few months

. <>Motion to adjourn at 9:00 p.m.: by Gemza/Williams. All in favor. Carried.
