The Clerk said that the owners had contacted her regarding the matter and she had suggested they come to the meeting. Other residents have added complaints of late night noise coming from the Rose & Kettle property as well. It was decided that Attorney Laughlin will write a letter to the proprietors in hopes that they can work something out with Mr. & Mrs. Hurwitz, as well as other residents; perhaps they would be willing to attend a meeting to discuss the issue with the board.

DPW

After an emergency meeting of June 7, 2011, a Kubota tractor was purchased from White’s Farm Supply, Inc. at a cost of $20,100.00. There was enough money left from the 2010-11 budget to pay for the tractor in full.
Mr. Hajczewski said he therefore has continued on with the sidewalk replacement on Montgomery Street. He has found several pipes draining from properties into the village ditch, which will be checked on for septic (gray water) and blocked off, if necessary.
