In a separate administrative action the clerk's monthly report of fees was accepted by motion and voice vote.
On licensing and permits, the board approved an amended liquor-license application for PM Park after the applicant resubmitted documentation to include outdoor seating. The board also approved two dock permits (54 P on Linden and 55 on Oak) after verifying required documents were in order.
Infrastructure and drainage actions included approval to have the washman investigate a sinkhole caused by a road tile in Drainage District 31 (motion carried). Regarding project 656, the auditor reported the engineer is still finalizing plans and no start date was available.
