Fredericktown council hears updates on sewer demolition, water improvements and village policy fixes
Summary
Council received updates April 6 on water project Phase I, sewer plant demolition and new equipment installation, a correction to the electronic message sign policy, a tree replacement request, and a staff resignation effective April 27.
At its April 6 meeting the Fredericktown Village Council heard a series of administrative updates and non-binding actions on infrastructure, policy and personnel.
Administrator Snell reported on the village's Water Improvements Project, providing a status update on Phase I. He also said demolition of old equipment at the sewer plant began April 6 and that new equipment is expected to be installed by the end of April.
Snell told the council he will forward the village's Continuity of Operations Plan to Chief Sheffer for review. Chief Sheffer said he is coordinating with county officials about side-by-side vehicles and reported several vehicle trespasses on Colony Drive. Sheffer also reported that during a traffic stop a vehicle backed into a cruiser, causing minor damage. Chief Sheffer announced that Trey Cook is resigning effective April 27.
Fiscal Officer Suzan Graves asked the council to schedule a public records meeting on either May 4 or May 18 and said she found a discrepancy in the electronic message sign policy: the policy text currently reads a maximum display period of two weeks when it should read 30 days. Graves said she will update the policy to reflect 30 days.
Council Member McKnight raised the absence of pedestrian signs at the square and suggested painting letters on the pavement as an alternative. Council Member Shoemaker requested that a dead tree at the northwest side of the square be replaced; Administrator Snell said he will have it replaced.
The meeting closed with scheduling notes: Safety, Public Works and Finance committees are set to meet April 20; the Planning Commission date is to be determined. Council Member Pugh moved to adjourn; Brewer seconded and the motion passed unanimously at 7:53 p.m.
