A well-rehearsed request was heard from 4 members of Girl Scout Troop 70323, requesting a free or reduced rate to rent the Community Center Friday, 4/06/18 to host a Father/Daughter dance. A voice vote by board members approved a no cost rent for the event.
Bob Roviaro requested a street light be installed at the intersection of Rt. 17, and Hilgert Dr. due to the area being dark. Chief Frey thought there is a light that has wiring problems, and is due to be repaired when the weather breaks.
Jerry Loitz expressed concerns on the possible sale of the sewer plant. He agrees the rates needs to be increased to keep up with upkeep of the system, but thinks it would be good to keep it owned by the Village. Pres.
