Service director: storm had 'tremendous impact' on Waite Hill; fence repair, sight-line trimming and cell‑tower coverage raised
Summary
Service Director Bob Haynik reported the recent storm/tornado 'had a tremendous impact' on the village, noting an at‑fault party's insurance will cover a fence repair, that hedges creating sight‑line hazards will be trimmed, and that the village needs to act to improve cell‑tower coverage.
Service Director Bob Haynik told council on Aug. 12 that the Service Department had been "fairly quiet this summer — until this week," and that the recent storm/tornado "had a tremendous impact on the Village." Haynik said damage included a fence that will be repaired at the at‑fault party’s insurance expense.
Haynik also said the long‑standing cell‑tower coverage issue had been resurrected during storm recovery and that the village needs to take action to improve cellular coverage. He identified a safety concern at the Metcalf and Eagle intersection, saying hedges that limit sight lines will need trimming.
Stephanie Winterer, reporting for the Safety Committee, thanked Police Chief Carl Dondorfer for a building tour at the summer social and noted that Police and Service departments responded effectively to the recent storm/tornado. The minutes record the reports and planned minor follow‑up actions (fence repair, hedge trimming) but do not list formal council directives beyond those operational items.
