Summary

Village resident Russ Krammer asked the Village Board Feb. 3 to prioritize snow plowing on Church Street to prevent delays for emergency medical services and home health care deliveries; the board acknowledged the concern and noted recent snow removal by village personnel.

At the Feb. 3 meeting, village resident Russ Krammer asked the board to "consider snow plowing Church St., a priority, as there is currently a resident requiring emergency medical services and home health care," saying cleared roads would prevent delays in delivery of those services. The request was recorded during the citizen's hearing portion of the meeting and brought attention to public-safety access during winter weather.

Board members noted recent snow-removal efforts by village personnel; President Tina Shingleton reported that Dan and Randy did a strong job clearing snow and removed snow from the parking lot across from the Boardwalk. The board also confirmed it had contacted Canadian National about clearing the parking lot and was asked not to block the gate to the tower so the railroad could access it in an emergency.
