Makanda trustees raise street and park maintenance concerns; culvert site and illegal parking noted
Summary
Trustees flagged trucks parking too close to Old U.S. Highway 51 and a sizable dip on S. Poplar Camp Road where a new culvert was installed; President said she will notify staff member Dan. The playground inspection list also has a few remaining items.
Trustee Cardenaz told the board there continue to be issues with trucks parking too close to the road at the pull-off on Old U.S. Highway 51, a concern the board recorded under the clerk's report. Trustee Dalton reported that at the S. Poplar Camp Road culvert location there is a "good size dip" in the roadway that needs repair; President Shingleton said she would inform Dan (staff member).
On playground safety, the President said only a few items remain from the Park Inspection Loss Control Recommendations provided by the Illinois Municipal League Risk Management Association. The minutes do not record a timeline or a formal funding appropriation for the repairs, and no motion to repair was recorded during the meeting.
Trustees discussed these maintenance concerns during committee reports but did not vote on specific repair contracts or timelines at the Dec. 2 meeting; follow-up with public-works staff is implied by the President's instruction to notify Dan.
