Trustees approved up to $1,230 for tires for the Public Works Ford F350, authorized removal of two parkway trees at 409 S. 5th not to exceed $1,000, declined hosting a townwide recycle dumpster, and discussed safety signage and staffing for mowing Route 72.

Public Works Supervisor James Stark asked the Board to approve several routine purchases and safety measures. Trustees authorized tires for the Public Works 2022 Ford F350 not to exceed $1,230 (motion by Trustee Fruit) and approved removal of parkway trees at 409 S. 5th not to exceed $1,000 (motion by Trustee Chambers). The Board declined a request to host a townwide recycle dumpster on Village property.

Stark reported that the Village Insurance Inspector recommended 'mowing ahead' signs on both sides of Route 72 and a follow vehicle with lights when mowing on the state highway; the Board discussed alternatives for safely reaching Hickory Ridge. Stark also said he would seek additional quotes for annual fire extinguisher certification after the inspector noted the requirement.
