Resident raises post-construction landscaping concerns on Center Street; village says contractor removal underway
Summary
A resident raised concerns about netting, leftover rocks and sinkholes at five addresses after Center Street improvements; the village engineer said raised netting has been removed and the final contractor payout has not yet been issued while contract changes were discussed.
Resident David Oscepinski told the board he was concerned about landscaping next to his home after road work on Center Street and cited netting, leftover rocks and sinkholes. Brian Nott said he had spoken with Helm and that an evaluation was completed on five addresses; Nott said raised netting has been removed and that the final contractor payout remains withheld pending resolution.
Board members discussed adding contract provisions for periodic weed control, netting removal and watering to avoid similar problems on future projects. President Steve Buss said the areas are "vastly better than they were" and noted everyone is working together toward the same goal.
