Mayor Bruce Metzger read a report from Village Administrator Mike Rosenberry at the Aug. 20 meeting with a range of operational and community updates.
The report identified the hiring of Christian Lightell to fill a vacant position in the Street Department. It also said the tornado siren project is nearly complete and that a proposal is pending for relining utility lines. The village has a scheduled meeting with Engineer Don Dummermuth on Aug. 26 to follow up on engineering matters and work with Mark Malcuit on completion of 7th Street NW.
Other items listed included a monthly network training for employees on Sept. 24, consideration of funding for a Dualcom monitoring system at village hall, an electrical review of the sewer plant garage scheduled for Aug. 21, and a fall cleanup set for Oct. 8. The report noted a sidewalk repair program item—work at LEVCO and a sunken slab in front of the post office—for which costs will be split with the property owner. Water/Sewer Superintendent Nathan Kanouff’s six-month probation was reported as completed on July 1, 2024.
Brent Metzger, speaking under park/rec items, asked that portable toilets remain in the park through the end of September while fall ball continues; he thanked staff and volunteers for a successful festival and said planning for 2025 will include more Saturday entertainment. The report also said My Town Strasburg will move to the Cross Connection church building by the end of September and that a BCI investigation into the Strasburg Fire Association was closed on Nov. 1, 2023.
The minutes record these administrative items for follow-up by staff; no formal votes were recorded on these updates during the meeting.
