Rockland trustees approve park bleachers, okayed noise variance for Rockland Day; mower purchase discussed using line of credit
Summary
Trustees approved new bleachers to be paid from the Park Fund and granted a noise variance for Rockland Day. The maintenance department requested replacement equipment; a motion to use the village line of credit to buy a mower from Hagen’s Sales and Service was made but the transcript does not record a formal vote on that purchase.
At the June 10 meeting the Village of Rockland trustees approved purchase of new park bleachers to be paid from the Park Fund and granted a noise variance for Rockland Day.
Trustee Linda Young moved to buy new bleachers with Park Fund money and Trustee Penny Stock seconded; the motion carried. Trustees also approved a noise variance for Rockland Day after a motion by Trustee Bob Rueckheim and a second by Trustee Penny Stock; the meeting record notes the fire department will have a brush truck at the event.
In the maintenance update, staff said the village needs to begin looking for a replacement for the 2005 Chevrolet truck and recommended selling the green bleachers currently in storage. The department also reported selling a small lawn mower and buying a new one from Hagen’s Sales and Service; Trustee Bob Rueckheim moved and Trustee Bob Nielsen seconded a motion to use the village line of credit to purchase the new mower and to repay the line from the sale proceeds. The transcript records the motion and seconder but does not include a recorded vote or explicit outcome for that purchase.
Maintenance staff also reported leaking cylinders and broken snap rings on the plow truck and said the village would obtain a dumpster to remove materials dumped near the wastewater treatment plant.
Next steps: staff will follow through on equipment replacement options and the disposal of dumped materials; board minutes do not record a final vote on the mower purchase in the public record and further documentation or a future vote may be required.
