Kirkland Board Signs Off on Routine Public Works Purchases, Tree Removal and Maintenance Plans
Summary
Trustees approved tires for a 2022 Public Works truck, authorized tree removal at 409 S. 5th, approved a new police copier, and discussed head-wall repair, mowing safety on Route 72, cold patch vendor options, and planting annual flowers for Kirkland signs.
The board approved several routine public-works and facilities items during the May 4 meeting. Trustees approved purchasing tires for the Public Works 2022 Ford F350 not to exceed $1,230 and approved removal of two parkway trees at 409 S. 5th for up to $1,000 due to sidewalk damage. The board also approved a new copier/scanner/fax/printer for the police station on roll-call vote.
Public Works Supervisor James Stark discussed multiple operational items: a recommended in-house fix (extend pipe two feet and reposition rip-rap) for the head wall at Prospect and 6th Street; the insurance inspector's requirement that mowing along Route 72 include 'mowing ahead' signs and a follow vehicle with lights; the need for annual certification of Village fire extinguishers and obtaining additional quotes; and a comparison of cold-patch material from Curran and Gold Star, with the board choosing to continue using Curran for now. Trustees also discussed planting patriotic annual flowers at Kirkland signs for the nation's 250th birthday and sought donations from local nursery and school greenhouse partners.
