Comments:

Trustee Boyce: Trustee Boyce acknowledged Jim Hanley and the “big week ahead” in snow removal. Mr. Hanley asked that residents remove parked cars in the street after 24 hours to assist in the snow plowing. Mr. Hanley also asked residents not to plow/blow their driveway snow out into the street, but push up on the sides of the drive. The Mayor added that cars that are parked in the streets and sitting for 3-4 days may get a request from the police department to move their vehicle so the Village can safely complete the plowing of the streets.

Trustee Dole: Great respect for the Public work guys for the work they do at this time of year and when we get a lot of snow in the Village.

Trustee Gesky: Trustee Gesky had nothing.

President Nugent: No further comments

Motion by Dole, seconded by Gesky, to adjourn the meeting at 7:26 pm. Motion approved 4-0 with Mayor Nugent voting YES (Phillips Crockett and Martin absent)
