DPW reports tree work, surplus sales and a mattress-pickup fee increase
Summary
DPW presented quotes for storm-damage tree removal and a batch of six high-priority tree maintenance jobs; the board approved the Bartlett quotes, accepted surplus-auction results and raised the mattress pickup fee to $20.
Public works staff updated the board on storm-damage tree work, a proposed mowing project along feeder canals, and repairs on Spring Street. Bartlett Tree Experts provided a quote of $1,500 to remove a storm-damaged tree that encroached on overhead wires; the board also approved a grouped set of six tree-maintenance quotes from the village’s management plan totaling $9,450.
DPW reported surplus-equipment auction proceeds — the grader/loader sold for $38,200 and a refuse truck sold for $15,100 — and the board approved actions related to surplus. The board also moved to raise the mattress-pickup fee to $20 to reflect higher disposal costs and instructed staff to notify the public via the village newsletter and other channels.
Trustees discussed scheduling, insurance coverage for contracted crews and logistical details for mowing and canal maintenance; DPW will coordinate traffic control and contractor insurance as required.
