Trustee Klinger checked on the grant with AmerenIllinois.com for trees and his understanding was that Ameren will replace a tree that they remove if the village requests a tree be replaced (may be replaced in a different and/or designated area of Ameren choosing).
Street Committee will schedule a meeting to look over streets for oiling & chipping streets. Information will be provided at an upcoming meeting.
Mayor Kessler mentioned the village has been having trouble with the sewer testing numbers and main lagoon is filling up again. Mayor Kessler talked with Mike Bridges about a grant in the amount of $550,000.00 that would be covered by 100% to clean out (sludge removal) the village lagoon. A letter from EPA would be needed and an area to put the sludge would be needed. Mayor Kessler talked to Chuck Diel and was told he would work with the village to put the sludge on his land (that would save the expense of hauling). Mayor Kessler isn’t sure on the time frame when this would happen but thought at the earliest it would possibly be next fall. There would be requirements of an ordinance and other paperwork to be done.
Mayor Kessler informed the Trustees that he accepted the resignation of Randy Baker from the Zoning Board and that there were 2 other individuals that would be appointed to the Zoning Board. That would be 4 on the Zoning Board and could be up to 7 on the Board.
Equipment had been moved onto the lot where the Dollar General Store is to be built and Mayor Kessler was told that the closing for the land would be held on Tuesday, February 28, 2023.
