Warrens board approves mower purchase contingent on wastewater commission share; discusses financing for Well 2 pump
Summary
The Village Board approved buying a John Deere mower, conditioned on the Wastewater Commission covering 50% of the cost, and heard that Well 2 pump maintenance will require financing with work planned for spring 2025.
The Village Board of Warrens approved purchasing a John Deere lawn mower on Nov. 12, contingent on the Wastewater Commission paying half the total cost. P. Malinger moved the purchase; T. Swope seconded and the motion carried.
Public Works Director Brian Knoepker reported the village has received three mower quotes and reviewed recent vandalism in the village; insurance has covered the damage and the board recommended posting to the village Facebook page urging residents to call dispatch if they see suspicious activity. Knoepker also presented two maintenance quotes for Well 2 and said he prefers to stay with vendor CTW for repairs. He told the board the Well 2 pump will need to be financed; Jason and Knoepker will prepare a finance request for board approval and plan to begin work in spring 2025.
The mower motion specifies the Wastewater Commission cover 50% of the purchase price; the minutes record the conditional approval but do not list a dollar amount. The board did not finalize financing terms for the Well 2 pump at the meeting and directed staff to return with a formal finance request.
Next steps: Brian Knoepker and Jason will draft the finance request for board consideration in a future meeting, and the village will post a community notice about recent vandalism.
