Discussion of amending cemetery regulations to include green burial. It will be added to the agenda in February to give trustees time to review the information. 3. Smartgrowth: Social cultural aspects have been impacted by COVID. Looking into having more community events this summer depending on conditions. Solar initiatives, walking paths, and archeological survey of the cemetery are some things to think about. Reminder if you have items you would like on the agenda, to contact Heidi Krause. 4. Tourism Grant: The Tourism Grant awards will be announced sometime in December. Still haven’t heard anything yet. 5. Covid 19 grant – no new updates. Possibility of Emergency Declaration from Windstorm…consensus was that it would not be prudent as damage was minor in the village. John Krumm will coordinate with Harley to contact Wabasha Tree Service to remove branches on street behind the church. Residents have expressed interest in the firewood. 6. $1200 snow removal relief from PRAT funds to aid businesses in snow removal. Tabled to February so that dispersal plan can be included as to what it entails. Reminder, it is the property owner’s primary responsibility for removal of snow. The village takes no responsibility. 7. Citizen Concerns: We will not have a need for a Primary Election in February. Spring Election will be April 6, 2022.
