Old Business:

 

Discussion of Camargo Sign:  Salisa Dann brought a sample design of what President Dann was thinking.  The sign will be red, white and blue with stars and stripes, and we will repurpose the Camargo and Villa Grove portions of the old sign.  No other ideas were brought to the table, and the Board decided to go with this design.  The sample had one white post and one stained post.  The Board opted to go with the stained version.  President Dann said he would get the sample to Tim Wegeng.

Village President’s Report:  President Bart Dann reported the following:

 

  • Bart will check and see if the building is on a commercial or a municipal rate for Ameren. And to see why the bill was so high.
  • The bill has not yet been received for the Main Street Project
  • Rodney Farris is driving over the edge of the new sidewalk with his trucks. Bart will call and talk to him.
  • Cambridge Technology is the company that runs our water billing program. She programmed the bills to begin billing after the base rate, and for the base rate to include the first 1000 gallons of water.  Therefore, everyone received 1000 gallons of water at no charge.  It has been fixed and the $9 increase will be reflected on the next water bill.  Bart will also make a social media post to inform those that follow.

 

With no further business to come before the Board, Village President Bart Dann called for adjournment at 7:02 pm.
