Residents praise cleanups, push for businesses; developer says he is awaiting bids
Summary
In public comment, Theresa Cripe thanked the village for property cleanups and road work and urged more businesses; guest Timothy Klein said he is awaiting three bids before presenting options, and Mark Vogelzang reported a Piatt County Board-approved contract and requested schedule flexibility for Lane Coffey to attend meetings.
Residents and guests used the meeting's public forum to thank village crews and press for economic activity, while a prospective contractor said he is gathering bids to present a rate to the board.
Theresa Cripe thanked the village for property cleanups and winter roadwork and said she would "love to see a lumber yard site back in the village and would love to see more businesses." Timothy Klein told trustees he is waiting on three more bids so he can "give the best rate" before formally presenting recommendations to the board. Mark Vogelzang reported that a contract had been approved by the Piatt County Board and said Lane Coffey wishes to remain locally involved and would like a schedule that allows attendance at monthly board meetings.
Trustees heard the comments without formal action and directed staff to continue soliciting proposals and bids where appropriate.
