NEW BUSINESS:

1. Head Start: Head Start is wanting to leave the Community Building. Jim Higgens approached them with a new facility in Tuscola, but the rent was too high.  Per Dennis at Head Start, “Camargo is too small,” and there aren’t enough Tuscola children registered.  He also requested a washer and dryer be installed for the employees.  President Dann explained to Dennis that the washer and dryer were already approved.  Dennis asked if the Village would pay for the installation and add it onto their rent.  With a discussion with Village Superintendent Doug Raymer, Bart advised Dennis the best location would be the Women’s restroom in the basement.  There is plenty of room for what they need.  Bart advised he would call All Pro and have them make arrangements with Doug for installation.

Laura made a motion to allow Head Start to install a washer and dryer in the basement and for Head Start to reimburse via their rent payments.  Jeane seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously.

 

1. Dog Park: Jim Hardway stated he was not in favor of the dog park.  He believes it would create extra work for Doug and Kyle.  He is concerned about the “clean up” or lack thereof, and he is worried about fence repair costs.  Laura stated she was concerned about insurance issues.  Jim Lansford also stated he was not in favor of a dog park.  This issue was dropped.  Laura suggested a walking path around the park for people to walk, ride bikes, skate, etc.

 

1. Community Building Fence: Bart stated he would talk to Tim Wegeng about the fence height around the corners.  Laura suggested talking to the Miller Family about the fence near their property as a courtesy.

Jim Lansford made a motion to approve the fence along Issacher to demarcate personal property from the private property and not to exceed $3000 including the survey.  Nancy George seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously.

1. Basketball Poles and Hoops: The current pole and hoop are in bad shape.  Bart would like to order two, and we could place them across from each other.  Jim Hardway made a motion to order the hoops and materials, and Jeane seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

1. Resurface the Basketball and Tennis Court: Bart will call B and L and see if he can get some pricing to resurface this area.

 

1. Front Step Repairs: Bart has received one (1) quote so far. He called Cross Masonry.  They will reach out to Doug this week and come look at what needs repaired.
