DPW
The DPW is working winterizing in the Village. The cemetery lawn mower has a bad motor. Taylor Miles to check with Cherry Valley
Hardware to see what they have available for a replacement. Discussion was held about using Taylor Miles’
4 wheeler to plow the sidewalks this winter when possible. It takes less time to clear the sidewalks
with this and saves time on the snow blower.
Taylor Miles will receive $20.00 per hour for use of his equipment and a
new snowplow for a 4 wheeler will be purchased for plowing the sidewalks. Flowers for next summer will be purchased
from Sunnycrest Orchards.
