There is chance for Lemke Street for MSIS funding, there was a correction put in today for the roads. Speedy Clean cleaned both of the lift stations, sewer pipe chunks, wipes, and gravel was found in the bottom. R Weier has put together a priority list, the sewer is number one. Infiltration and inflow is the problem. Suggestion to sell property near the Yard Waste Site. The tractor will be sold, as well as the portable generator. Some of these funds could be used to repair the sewer system. The lift stations should probably be cleaned every 6 months. A replacement pump will take 90 days to get delivered at a cost of around $12000.00, suggestion made to get a pump for replacement in inventory in the case of pump failure. The collars that hold the pump in the lift station are also getting corroded and will need to be replaced. R Weier is working on finding a replacement company to fabricate a new collar. Risers could be added to manholes to assist the leakage into the sewer system. Street Lights-$8400 will be needed to switch to LED lights, in 4 years it will pay for itself, this will make the entire village covered in LED lights, which will save money after the payback is covered. The alarm in the lift stations has been going off, a new latch will be installed. Patching will be started soon, the speed bumps will need to be put in soon. Speed bumps of asphalt will also be put in. Ditch mowing for the village, C Wallrich spoke to someone, R Weier also spoke to the county about this, the county cost would be $112 per hour.
