Speaker 4 delivered the public works year‑end report, listing projects completed and equipment acquired and noting field challenges during cold weather.
Among accomplishments, Speaker 4 reported receipt of 200 tons of salt; installation of two digital speed load signs and two speed tables; installation of 15 new catch basins with four rebuilt; spot paving on Route 172 and other town locations; repairs to two storm drains; purchase of a new Ford F‑350 with a toolbox bed and fabricated storage rack; and purchase of new diaphragm pumps and a 4‑inch trash pump. Speaker 4 also noted a new generator and propane tank installed at the water tower and said the village remained compliant with EPA requirements to date.
As a summary of workload, Speaker 4 reported nine water breaks, approximately 145 postmarkings throughout the year, and 249 work orders. The speaker thanked council, the mayor, staff (including Kurt and Charlie) and noted a new employee, "Bridal Geiss," who is performing well. Council asked clarifying questions about CDL training for staff and whether on‑site training and documentation would be accepted; Speaker 4 said the village will pursue training documentation and add equipment requests (a mini excavator and trailer, and a pickup truck) to the capital projects wish list for next year.
The report concluded with a brief discussion of future purchases and a plan to pursue CDL training for select staff after the busiest operational season.
