7:00 pm
The Village Board of the Village of Camargo met in regular session on February 11, 2019 at the Camargo Community Building. The meeting was called to order at 7:01 pm by Village President Bart Dann. Roll call found the following trustees present: Nancy George, Pam Sigler, Jeane Brieland, and Laura Miller. Village Superintendent Doug Raymer and Treasurer Shirley Badman were also in attendance.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Jim Langsford: A small portion of his property is currently being used by the Village. Mr. Langsford wanted it on record that he is okay with the Village using this section of his property. The concrete post sits on the SW corner of his property.
MINUTES:
Laura Miller made a motion to accept the minutes, and Nancy George seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Pam Sigler made a motion to accept the Treasurer’s Report, and Laura Miller seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Shirley Badman brought to the Board’s attention some issues that arose regarding the water bills. There were several bills that were not received in the mail. Bart advised that for this month, we would not charge late fees. Anyone that did not receive a bill would have until shut-off day to get their bills paid. Jeane posted this information on our Village Facebook page. Going forward, Shirley is going to sort the bills as Melissa (at the post office) requested. Bart suggested that Shirley call Laura (the Post Master) if this month’s bills do not get delivered as they should. If we continue to have issues, we will take our bills to Tuscola post office.
Chris’s Service will now be the trash pick-up provider for the community building. By switching over, this will save the Village $37.95 per month.

All proceeds from the concession stand will go towards the Woolly Worm Festival

- Hook will bring the dumpsters for the trash days. He will also have a dumpster on standby if we need it. We can call at the last minute and he will have it delivered. They are charging us $450 each. This saves us approximately $1000 (we spent between $3100 – $3200 last year).
