Mannsville board addresses culvert blockage and conference room heating problem
Summary
The board discussed a gate blocking the Lorraine Street culvert that is causing lawn flooding and potential roadway risk; Norm Jones said he can remove the gate for winter. Officials also reported an overheating conference room (about 80°F) and scheduled an inspection by Anthony Draper.
Board members discussed two municipal maintenance issues at the Jan. 13 meeting. A gate placed across a Lorraine Street culvert by a church parish is trapping leaves and sticks, causing lawn flooding and creating a risk that the roadway could flood if the blockage continues; resident Gail Vaadi requested the gate's removal. Water operator Norm Jones said he can pull the gate out for the winter months to reduce flooding risk.
Separately, staff reported the conference room is overheating—reaching roughly 80°F even with the thermostat off. The board reported they called Anthony Draper to inspect the heating system; Draper is expected to visit the site the following week. No formal motions or budget appropriations were recorded for either item in the minutes.
