Summary

Public-works staff reported helping clear snow around parked cars, approved about $1,200 in truck repairs, found lead service lines on Canal Street and will await EPA guidance, and diagnosed aeration tank and generator problems requiring further work.

Leitzinger presented the maintenance report, saying staff and Trustee Dennis Moris spent about half an hour clearing snow around parked cars near Union Street Apartments after residents expected village employees to shovel. He also reported damage to the village's white truck when it struck a garbage container left in the road, and estimated "repairs to the mirror and fender would cost approximately $1,200." The board approved repairs by Sire T Auto Body.

Leitzinger said he discovered lead service lines on Canal Street and noted a curb stop at Tranny’s Plus buried under concrete; the board agreed to await EPA guidance on whether to require immediate replacement or wait until the planned road project. He also reported the aeration tank was put back into operation after Schmitz Sanitary Service cleared a solid plug, and that the generator causes breakers to trip while under test, so an electrician has been contacted.
