Engineer Lee Beckman reported on the progress of the 2013 ITEP project. June was a very wet month, so progress was delayed some. The new pedestrian bridges are going to be delivered and installed tomorrow. All of the new sidewalks will be cleaned before the 4th of July. Lee still has received no word from the State on the status of the agreements for the 2016 ITEP project.

Lee reported the Hartke Subdivision progress was slowed a little with the June rains. All water and sewer lines have been installed and they are still working on storm sewer pipes. In 3 weeks they should start the gutter installs. Gutters should take approximately a month to install. Lee recently conducted a field walk on Prairie Drive with Village Trustees Steve and Jeff along with Clerk Gipson, Mike Campbell and Clayton Campton. The new sidewalk for Prairie Drive currently has some obstructions in the path of the sidewalk. Ameren will need to move a pedestal and a tree will need to be removed. The Village will work with the owner of the tree for an agreeable solution for both parties.
