Village of Smithton Committee as a Whole met Jan. 14.
Here is the agenda provided by the committee:
Mayor Smallwood, Trustees Yoch, Becherer, Rogers, Elbe, Henning and Mourey were present. The meeting was called to order at 7:14pm. Supervisor Klein attended part of the meeting.
STREET DEPARTMENT NEW EQUIPMENT
Supervisor Klein shared information with the Mayor and the trustees on rental estimates for a mini excavator that is needed for many upcoming projects in the village. They also reviewed estimates and options for purchasing a new mini excavator for the village.
RENTAL PROPERTY REGISTRATION/INSPECTION ORDINANCE
Trustee Yoch is still waiting to hear from Attorney Durso regarding the draft of the ordinance.
COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP
Mayor Smallwood informed the board that they need to decide whether or not to have the dumpsters available in the park for the community clean-up in May. Smallwood informed the board that there are problems with the process every year. The residents dump illegal items in the dumpsters, or on the ground if the dumpsters are full. The resident who has been present in the past to help other residents with items and haul away some of the items himself will not be there any longer. Smallwood said that since Waste Management will pick up most of the items anyway, that it is time to discontinue the clean-up. The trustees decided to have it again this year but have the street department monitor the dumpsters to keep residents from dumping white goods and other illegal items.
BUDGET
Trustee Becherer asked the trustees to turn in their numbers for the budget so that he can start on the balance sheet.
PARK GRANTS
Trustee Henning reported that he and Engineer Saeger are keeping an eye out for any new grants that become available.
Trustee Henning updated the trustees and the Mayor with the final draft for the 911 memorial. Meeting adjourned at 8:42pm.
