OTHER
BUSINESS
Michael Nelson asked about planting
trees between the sidewalk and street.
He was advised that the village will not be doing this at this
time. If he wants to plant a tree he
should check with National Grid on the recommended trees that will not
interfere with the power lines. He also
asked if the village was going to reseed that area where the excess dirt was removed
a few years ago. DPW Superintendent
Miles advised that the village will be reseeding where necessary. Michael Nelson also inquired if during the
spring there would be additional days that brush would be picked up as he has a
large amount to be picked up. Mayor
Guido advised that if it would be easier for him that arrangements can be made
to have the dump truck left at his house over the weekend for him to load his
own brush and then it would be picked up on Monday morning.
Jon Ackerman may have money to
donate through his job at Walmart. This
will be reviewed with him further to see if the donation can be made to the
village.
