Agenda for the Village Board Meeting on Tuesday, December 5th, 2023
Reading of the minutes and treasurer’s report from the November board meeting for corrections and approval.
Reading of the most recent Treasurer’s report.
OLD BUSINESS
- Update on back up power battery for the Village’s Traffic Light.
- Update on driver feedback sign that was successfully installed on Nov. 27th on county highway 45 (East Street) by the County Dept. of Public Works.
- Update on Neighborhood Watch Program. Any interest yet?
- Regrading in the Village Park was delayed. Discussion.
- Christmas Decorations: All board members should scout out decorations in other villages to see what might work for Galway Village. Also, take photos of how the decorations are attached to the poles. We are considering putting up decorations in the fall of 2024. Any results yet? Also, Beth may have a catalog of decorations that we can look over.
- Existing Storm Drain System in the Village: I will be calling for 3 estimates in early December to find a company to do 2 things:
- #1: map out our existing storm drainage system, showing any connections and catch basins and direction of drainage.
- #2: Clean anything out that may need it.
NEW BUSINESS
- Discussion of meeting with Mark Concilla, our code enforcement
- officer, this week (11/29/23). I wanted to be sure he is up to date with our progress with The Rachel Kitchen’s property on North Street & on the Schaaf residence on South St.
- Mark recommended we ask attorney Sutton’s advice about getting the Board of Health involved with Rachel Kitchen’s property & possibly looking into the legality of using the Village Board to act as the Board of Health.
- Also, Mark requested we get software for the Village so that he can do the job of code enforcement much more efficiently. The cost would be around $4,000. Ideally I would like to get this for him as soon as possible. He will be sending me details on the product so we can move forward with this project. The federal ARPA grant may possibly be used to fund this.
