Ravena Village board approves payments and $750 ARPA transfer; warns of stricter snow-parking enforcement
Summary
At its February meeting the Ravena Village Board approved payment of audited bills and a $750 transfer from the general fund to the water fund for a Whitbeck Street flushing test, reviewed building-department activity and warned residents that vehicles parked during snow events will be towed under the village vehicle-and-traffic rule.
Ravena Village Board members approved payment of audited bills, accepted a $750 transfer of ARPA funds for a water flushing test and warned residents of stricter enforcement of a local snow-parking prohibition during their February meeting.
Board member (Speaker 1) told residents the village will enforce its vehicle-and-traffic rule after heavy snowfall and begin towing vehicles that block plows and hydrants. “You're gonna get towed. I'm thinking it's probably a minimum $300, if not more it's gonna cost you to get your car back,” Speaker 1 said, citing safety and plow-access concerns.
The board accepted a transfer of $750 from the general fund to the water fund to pay for a flushing test on Whitbeck Street; the amount was described as ARPA money. The transfer was moved and later approved by voice vote. The board also voted to pay audited bills for abstract 9-2-25, vouchers 9-42 through 9-61, totaling $41,962.77.
The meeting included a brief building department report listing 26 calls for information, 15 building inspections, six complaints received and two fire-safety completions. A board speaker also reminded residents to keep fire hydrants clear of snow, saying frozen, water-heavy snow can require chipping and delay firefighters’ ability to hook up hose lines.
The board announced the Planning and Zoning Board will meet Feb. 24, 2025, and that Casey Marjasso is slated to be appointed as an alternate member at that meeting. Near the end of the session, the board adjourned to an executive session and said it will close the meeting at a future time.
