The Village Administrator reported on the following:

1) Regarding the St. John Mennonite Church project-Mr. Schneck and Choice One Engineering made the decision to move the water line, to be installed in the Industrial Park 5.0 feet to 5.5 feet west of the original location. The trees along this location would not need to be trimmed back and thus provide easier access for said water line installation.

Also discussed the crop damage which would occur in the Industrial Park if the water line installation would begin prior to the harvesting of the soybean crop.

After some discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to wait until the crops have been harvested before any digging is to commence in the Industrial Park.

If the St. John Mennonite Church desires to begin the project prior to the harvesting of said crops located in the Industrial Park, they will need to pay the Lessee of the cash lease for any crop damages.

2) The location of the 16 feet by 16 feet addition to the fire station has been changed to being flush with the south portion of the existing building as opposed to being flush with the north side. The location of the double-wide doors on the addition will be on the south side.

Also discussed making an opening from the existing building to the addition. Golden Giant representative stated to Mr. Schneck the estimated cost of this project with these changes should still be approximately $14,000.

3) Mr. Schneck stated he would like to have sold the 1988 truck with plow, 1992 pickup truck and the street sweeper. It was discussed to possibly have these items sold through a government sale website.

4) The repairing of the EMS building was discussed. Don Shartell with the assistance of Alexander-Williams stated a minimum cost of $32,000 to repair the block. There are two other contractors who will also be looking at this building.

The Council will table this matter until received additional quotes. In the meantime, it was decided to at least paint the EMS doors and purchase a new sign.

Discussion was had as to the removal of the speed bumps on Park Street. Some council members expressed their concerns of speeders go to and from the Park and football field. Other council members did not think the speed bumps were necessary. This matter will be tabled until next Spring.

With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned upon a motion by Mr. Painter, seconded by Mr. Fricke. Voting: All Yea.
