Police Emergency Plan – Mandy Donovan – nothing to report.

Community Events & Building Permits – Barb Safiran – nothing to report.

 

Finance, Insurance, License & Fees – Ken Snyder – discussion on the ponding effect on the gravel section near the cemetery.

Ordinances and Garbage Collection – Sue Aldred – Brian Logsdon repaired our garbage truck. There is an issue with one the arms that supports and pulls up dumpsters to the back of the garbage truck. Trent will purchase the pin that is needed.

Water and Sewer – Sid Dev – Dave read the response from our lawyer about late fees. Ordinance 550 states 10% late fee per cycle. A late fee will be accessed to any account not paid within 15 days of mailing or date of bill. This appears to be satisfactory. We have one resident that needs assistance. A motion was made by Sid Dev to not charge late fees to this one resident if they keep making their regular payments and extra payments to catch up. If they fall behind again then add late charges. 2nd Gene Costin, roll call all ayes.

Well #4 had a pump changed. EPA asked us to do continued testing. Tests passing. We are flushing at the dead ends. We are seeing residuals coming back up. We are in compliance with the EPA.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG Grant) – 212 N 1st street is going out for bids to demolish.

Closing of W Center Street – There will be a public hearing at 6:45 right before our August meeting. Ken Snyder made a motion to approve ordinance 748 for a Public Hearing on August 21, 2019 at 6:45pm, 2nd Sid Dev, roll call all ayes.

 

Intergovernmental Agreement – Lawyer is working on it.

IL EPA Evaluation – We are keeping up with the requests.
