Mayor Frohne – Commented
on how nice the Memorial Day Parade was and the new fire department
uniforms. Also, he wanted to bring to light the possibility of a
petition for village dissolution/consolidation that may get circulated.
It is important that Village Officials and residents understand the
repercussions of such and, accordingly, not sign anything if they are
not informed.
Trustee Pierson – Has
concerns, along with the other Trustees, of the neglected property
maintenance by ZEO who has, to date, not turned in any violations
despite resident complaints and the overall obvious need to do so. He
also let the Board know damage has been done to a storm drain on Center
Street near James Street. It is being repaired and the cause of the
damage will be ascertained.
Trustee Moshier – Suggested
the Board initiate a Comprehensive Plan Committee and the Board agreed
that it should consist of interested parties not serving on the Village
Board.
Trustee Hazelton – Agreed the Parade was enjoyable.
Trustee Patrick –The
bandstand light needs to be adjusted to shine on the American Flag.
Questioned why the FD cleans town bridges without requesting or advising
the Village Board.
