Summary
Audience member Mr. Gates said leaf pickup was "lousy" this season and asked about a plugged storm drain (which village staff said was fixed); Trustees also discussed blight complaints including mattresses left at an Orchard apartment complex. The police report, read at the meeting, recorded a 71 mph speeding incident on McCullom Lake Road.
During the public-comment portion of the Nov. 26 meeting, resident Mr. Gates told trustees that a "lousy job was done for leaf pickup this time" and asked about a storm drain by Village Hall that was not draining; Deputy Clerk Lori Prehn responded that the drain has been fixed.
Trustee Walter raised blight complaints about the same house on Parkview and about dumpsters and mattresses at an apartment complex on Orchard. Deputy Clerk Prehn said the property owner had wrapped the mattress as required by the waste hauler and that it should be picked up, though Trustee Walter said he had not checked that day to confirm removal.
