UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 

            The amount of the Keno check was $990.38

            Water consumed: 849,000; water paid for: 644,000; balance for month: -205,000; YTD: -99,000. Part of this overage was attributed to the water leak at  1028 “I” Street, owned by Tom Lewis.

            In public comments, Barry Brandt appeared to go over the current insurance policy which will take effect 9-1-2010.

            Schomerus made a motion to purchase the LP gas tank found by Kastens, Stoner seconded, motion carried 5-0. Crownover will contact Ray Doeden about hauling it. (ref: wiring/generator for new shop).

            In regards to the street repair by Bruce Hassler, it was decided that the drainage would have to be corrected before any street repairs could be made.

            It was decided where to install the speed bumps and signs, but it will take a few extra helpers for the project.

            The question was asked if FDIC guarantees $250, 000 for each account or each account holder. In speaking to Bruce Hassler, he said the Bank has to pledge funds to cover all the Village’s accounts since we are a public entity.
