Freeburg reviews street work updates and considers backhoe purchase
Summary
The board reviewed street work—oil-and-chip completed with sweeping scheduled—and discussed a backhoe quote with John Deere as the lowest. Administrator Matt Trout will check financing options with Citizens Bank and John Deere and report to the Finance Committee.
Public Works reported that oil-and-chip work is complete and that a street sweeper will start Sept. 22 to remove excess rock. Trustee reports noted drainage and customer issues were minimal. The board also reviewed a quote for a new backhoe; the John Deere bid was the least expensive and discussion focused on financing options and warranties.
Village Administrator Matt Trout said he will check financing arrangements with Citizens Bank and John Deere and bring a recommendation to the Finance Committee. The minutes record no purchase authorization at this meeting; the item remains under committee consideration.
