Village of Dieterich Board of Trustees met July 5.

Here are the minutes provided by the board:

The Dieterich Village Board met in regular session at 6:30 p.m. at Dieterich Village Hall located at 103 W. Section Street.

The meeting was called to order by President Brad Hardiek and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

The following Trustees were present: Chad White; Derick Stumeier; Pam Hartke and Carrie Galbraith. Trustees Bill Lane and Sean Pankau were absent. With four Trustees and President Brad Hardiek present, a quorum was declared to be present. Also at the meeting were: Village Clerk Brittny Gipson and Village Engineer Lee Beckman.

A motion was made by Trustee C. Galbraith; seconded by Trustee P. Hartke to approve the omnibus agenda: approve minutes of the June 20, 2022 regular meeting; approve the Treasurer’s Report, approve Expenditures and approve Per Diem Pay. Roll call was 4 yes and 0 no.

Village Engineer Lee Beckman reported the final walkthrough with Feutz and IDOT for the Dieterich Industrial Park East streets and storm sewer was completed on June 30, 2022. Only a few minor items were reported and Feutz is in the process of addressing those items.

Engineer Beckman had no new updates to report on the Wright Family Center. We are still planning to combine the DCEO grant with the State Legislative grant for East Section Street stormwater improvements. No grant agreement has been received for either. It could be several months before we receive.

A motion was made by Trustee C. Galbraith; seconded by Trustee C. White to approve the Design & Construction Engineering Professional Services Agreement with Milano & Grunloh Engineers for the DCEO grant project for East Section Street storm sewer improvements. Roll call was 4 yes and 0 no.

Engineer Beckman had no new updates on the SRTS sidewalk grant. We are still waiting for the engineering joint agreements from IDOT. Lee did inform the Board that IDOT will require 5’ temporary construction easements from all landowners (probably around 50) along the project if we choose to install the back of the sidewalk on the edge of the right-of-way. Typically, the sidewalk is installed at the back of right-of-way, but we could choose to leave the sidewalk 5’ off the edge of right-of-way to avoid having to obtain those easements from all landowners. That is a decision the Board will need to make soon.

Village Maintenance Supervisor Mike Campbell was not in attendance, so no report was given on the water, sewer, and streets department.

A motion was made by Trustee C. Galbraith; seconded by Trustee D. Stumeier to approve Ordinance 1114-2022: Authorizing Execution of Release of Reservation of Possibility of Reverter (Mitch & Christine Niemerg – Lot 16 Hartke Subdivision). Roll call was 4 yes and 0 no.

A motion was made by Trustee P. Hartke; seconded by Trustee C.

Hartke to approve Ordinance 1115-2022: Authorizing a Variance from the Zoning Regulations Contained within Title 10 of the Village Code of the Village of Dieterich, in the County of Effingham, and State of Illinois (Variance of South Rear Yard Setback – Andrea Ohnesorge, Lori Funneman, and Gebben Construction, LLC).
