Notice of said meeting and proposed agenda of then known subjects was given by posting in the three following places within the Village: The Bar, Post Office, and Village Office window, and by publishing in the Syracuse Journal-Democrat on January 8, 2009; and by serving a copy of said notice to each member of the Board of Trustees more than 5 days prior to said meeting.

Schomerus made a motion to approve the December 2008 treasurer’s report, Wassenberg seconded, motion carried 5-0.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Various aspects of the sidewalk project were discussed. Clerk reported the railing bolts along the bottom had broken and had since been repaired. The fencing company has extended the guarantee on labor to two years and the actual fencing to 10 years. Gilmore is also retaining about $10,000. from the current pay request because of so many problems with the railings.

In regards to Special Assessments for this project, Oelke made a motion to amend the motion made by Schomerus in December 2008 to ”charge $25.00 per foot on the east side of the Bank and $75.00 per foot on the remaining property directly in front of the businesses”. Stoner seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Clerk will relay the information to Gilmore immediately.

The amount of the Keno check was $1147.94.

Water consumed was 700,000 gallons as opposed to 628,000 gallons paid for leaving a deficit of 72,000 gallons year-to-date. Part of the deficit can be attributed to the water leak by Randy Eis’.
