Village granted WTCC quarry access for yard waste; board greenlights tree and sidewalk inspections
Summary
WTCC will allow Bloomington to use the quarry for natural yard waste at $2,000 per year; the board also tasked Al Mergen and Leitzinger to document trees and sidewalks needing removal or repair and to gather quotes for work.
The board approved an extended contract with WTCC, the company operating the quarry used by the village for yard waste, granting access for brush, grass clippings and other natural burnable materials for $2,000 per year. The contract specifically prohibits treated wood and material containing nails.
Separately, Chair member Al Mergen was asked to work with Leitzinger to identify trees that should be removed, photograph sidewalks in need of repair, and obtain quotes for removal and replacement. The board discussed the possibility of grinding down some sidewalks to improve safety and requested photographic documentation to support contracting decisions.
The quarry contract and the decision to inventory trees and sidewalks aim to manage village debris and prioritize pedestrian safety in coming maintenance cycles.
