President Ben Evans said the village’s responsibility to engineer a walkway along Business 53 is estimated at $67,000; he emphasized that figure covers engineering only and not construction. Several trustees expressed confusion about the estimate, noting that a sidewalk already exists for most of the route and requesting greater cost detail from the county and engineers.

The board asked for a follow-up meeting with county representative Jason Jackman and the project engineers to clarify scope and cost breakdowns. Evans said he cannot attend the follow-up; Trustee Chris Morgan indicated he is available to represent the village at the meeting.
