Summary

Public Works reported two emergency callouts since the prior meeting (a water shutoff and a Village lift station power-related alarm). Vice Chair Jodi Mackay raised a concern about a crosswalk by the middle school filling with water after a hydrant replacement.

The committee reviewed an Emergency Call Out Report and attached overtime/callout list during the Dec. 15 meeting. Public Works Director Matt Wheeler told members there were only two callouts since the last meeting: one water shutoff and one incident at the Village lift station that began as a power outage. An extended callout list was provided as an attachment to the minutes.

Vice Chair Jodi Mackay raised a separate operational concern about the crosswalk by the middle school near a recently replaced fire hydrant. "It's a mess," Mackay said, adding that the area "is filling with water and creating huge puddles," a condition that could pose a hazard to pedestrians. The minutes record the concern but do not note a formal repair motion or timeline.

The minutes list multiple plant and lift station contact numbers in the attachment but do not record specific follow-up assignments during this meeting.
