Village of Cecil Board Meeting Minutes 02/17/2026 The meeting was called to order at 4:05PM by Pres J Nolan The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in the Public Hearing. Those attending the meeting were: J Nolan, P Westcott-Absent, B Weier, M Hendricks, D Sperberg, C Wallrich, A Kallies, Craig Schuh-Ayres, B & B Rundle, K & B Paul, Announcements- Public Comment: Bill & Bridget Rundle spoke to the board on the cost of the raise on the boat slip for this season, questioning the public/private concept on the rental dock. He is looking for something to deter the public from entering the dock. A gate and signs, this must be an accessible gate as well. The wording should be “dock access boat slip renters only” The weed issues were so bad last year, will there be a way that SAWM will go through with the weed cutter. Discussion on what kind of gate will be placed on the dock, must be accessible. Motion made by A Kallies to approve and deviate from the agenda, seconded by M Hendricks, motion carried. The meeting is in compliance, both posted and published. Motion made to approve the meeting minutes and treasurer’s report from January 20th, 2026 by A Kallies, seconded by R Weier. Motion carried. Ayres & Associates-Craig Schuh-Sewer System/Wastewater Grants-Engineering-this is a several year process because it is a governmental process. Low flows for us are 75-80,000 gallons a day, our estimate should be around 35,000 gallons a day. The savings on electric alone could approach $2700 per year. A grant could also be used in part of road construction when sewer replacement is done in the street. The charge for Ayres to be hired for a long term project depends upon the grant money and part of the charges for Ayres can be paid with the grant. An estimate of cost for a project $3500-$5000 to get it started, this is possible to be added to the loan or grant program. Ayres will guide the village in correcting the infiltration issues that the village itself can correct as well as the grant direction. Fire Report- 1 car accident, 1 car fire on White Clay Lake, 1 shed fire/chicken coop given by D Sperberg. Fire Commission discussed on charging for calls and is consulting an attorney on this issue, the village would like the Fire Department to begin charging for calls not to Village or Town residents. Maintenance Report-D Sperberg-Maintenance position may be opening up, T Bosetski, part time maintenance may be interested. Roads-storm drain on Zachow and Hofman corner has collapsed, there were cinder blocks stacked inside, it has been repaired.

Sewer stations-pumps have not been plugging since the letter has been sent to the residents on Wallrich, Nabor and Mathew.
