Village reports grants, fire station roof work and repaired ambulance after deer collision
Summary
Council heard that the village received multiple grants (a Noe grant of roughly $118,000 and a $50,000 sewer grant), is replacing the fire station roof, will complete generator transfer-switch testing, and had one ambulance repaired in-house after hitting a deer.
At the April 1 Valley View council meeting, the mayor reported the village received a Noe grant for just over $118,000 used to pay for newly installed Town Hall windows, and a $50,000 sewer grant earmarked for bridge demolition. The village also received an award from Kayaga County to assist its 2025 planning-services program; council member Paulson volunteered to serve on the planning team.
The fire chief updated the council that the fire station roof replacement is about 50% complete. Contractors Garland Companies and Aw Ferrell are working on the project; a roof scan identified two small spots with water damage on the police and fire sides that Trenco (the prior vendor) will address under the village’s annual maintenance contract. The chief said staff will replace water-damaged ceiling tiles and carpeting once the roof work is finished.
The chief also reported that one ambulance struck a deer in the middle of the night; two staff members (identified in the transcript as Nick Nemit and Mike) performed in-house repairs that limited costs. The village has purchased additional tools to support in-house maintenance.
Recreation staff told the council that a transfer switch for a new generator was installed and final testing was scheduled; with the generator the facility can be powered 24 hours a day in an emergency except for heating and cooling in the aerobics room.
Why it matters: the grants provide capital for building repairs and bridge demolition, the roof replacement addresses repeated winter water intrusion at the fire station, and the in-house ambulance repair shows a cost-saving maintenance capability. The council did not provide detailed grant terms or procurement schedules during the recorded discussion.
