Pumping station will be put it this fall, by the old Sugar Bowl.
Attorney changes – Robert Russell is retiring from municipality work starting December 1, 2020. He recommended Jacob Frost. $150 per month retainer, additional services will be $195 per hour. To help reduce the cost all communication should come from the Mayor or Village Clerk. Jacob Frost is in Spring Valley. He does a lot of work in Bureau County, and two of his assistants live in Princeton. Getting paperwork to the courthouse will not be a problem. Barb Safiran made a motion to approve Ordinance 762 Retainer agreement with Jacob Frost, 2nd Mandy Donovan. Roll call vote all ayes.
