Trustees flag Vet Park names, junk ordinance, fiber-optics concerns and warning-siren repair
Summary
At the meeting, trustees raised operational and community items including how to add names to the Vet Park wall, drafting a junk ordinance to address trash, permitting and enforcement questions around fiber-optics, a 'No Knock' policy inquiry, and DPW maintenance needs including a warning-siren repair and a planned retirement in 2026.
During trustee reports, Monta Hyde asked how to add names to the Vet Park wall; Clerk Kelley Morrison will email the form. Trustee Anderson raised concerns about fiber-optic installers and permitting enforcement, noting the village can act if installers cause damage. Trustee Walsh praised the new engineering firm (Farnsworth Group) and Trustee Powers flagged townwide trash as a concern the pending junk ordinance should address.
Trustee Nick Hyde suggested the board look into a No Knock policy and to consult Monticello for examples. DPW Mark Blickensderfer discussed Homefield Energy briefly, noted that well No. 8 will require budgeting in the next fiscal year, and said a warning siren is not spinning (possible motor or belt problem); he noted retirement planned for June 30, 2026. These items were entered as trustee reports and will inform follow-up work by staff and trustees.
