Summary

During Citizen’s Hearing Kim Baker thanked trustees for placing a porta‑potty by the basketball court; Russ Baker reported culverts on Church Street had dirt buildup possibly blocking flow and asked the village to clean them.

At the start of public comment, Kim Baker thanked the Village Board for placing a porta‑potty by the basketball court. The minutes record: "Kim Baker thanked the Village Board for putting a porta‑potty by the basketball court." That was followed by Russ Baker reporting that the culverts on Church Street have dirt in front of them that could be blocking water flow and suggesting they need cleaning; Russ Baker said he was monitoring culverts while walking his dog.

The board did not record a formal motion in response to the culvert request in the minutes, but Trustees later discussed culvert replacement work on Poplar Camp Road as part of street preparations for future oil‑and‑chip work. Trustee Hilliard said he would meet with IDOT to be sure planned work matches village needs.
