Residents raise property-line questions and allege sanitary sewer project fraud; mayor says records show work completed

Two residents used the public-comment period to raise concerns about village property records and the Phase 1 sanitary sewer project.

Glenn Parish, who said he recently purchased 100 Washington Avenue and identified himself as a third-generation Glendaleian, asked council about property-line disputes and said he requested surveys from the administrator. He described informal discussions with the CIC and said some village-owned parcels lack surveys.

Kevin Parish later presented photographic documentation and strongly alleged that the village “did conspire with this history for a company,” naming the contractor (identified in his remarks as Instrophone) and stating that project completion documentation submitted to regulators was fraudulent. He said photographs showed pipe left over after the project and claimed the village and contractor misrepresented the extent of pipe replacement; he put the account on the record and asked for investigation.

In his mayoral report, the mayor addressed those comments: "We have records that indicate that those pipes were replaced," and the mayor said a separate company's test supports that the replacements occurred. The mayor also advised the resident that property-line and adverse possession concerns should begin with the village administrator, who would work with legal counsel if needed.

Council did not open a formal investigation during the meeting but indicated records exist that the administration has shared with the resident. The mayor reiterated that disposition of village-owned property requires public bid and that the village does not plan to dispose of 94 Washington at this time.
