Falci has spoken to Village Attorney Eric Shults regarding the
definition of a dwelling unit for the billing of water meters. Attorney
Shults will be speaking to City Attorney Pelych regarding the
definition. AIR CONDITIONING BIDS Trustee Dick is concerned that the air conditioners that were bid could prove to be a hazard with the unit being placed in the attic with no ventilation. This could be a fire hazard. Trustee Dick believes a split system with units in each room would be more energy efficient and cost less (possibly $10,000 less). Contractor Joe Rose noted that all the companies that bid originally were going with that type of system until they saw the attic area and then recommended differently. Each room will be zoned separately. Contractor Rose offered to set up a meeting with Trustee Dick if needed. Trustee DiRaimondo asked if the split system was more efficient. Architect Simpson said yes generally. But to cover more area you have to put into another unit. The Mayor and Trustees will wait until next weeks meeting to award the bid. This will give Trustee Dick time to get a bid in on a split system. Trustee Dick will try to schedule a Saturday in May for the shredder truck. The service will be available to Village residents only. The amount of boxes allowed per family to be determined. Motion made by
Trustee Libordi to allow Trustee Dick to contract the company for the
shredder truck for four hours at the cost of $200. Motion seconded by
Trustee DiRaimondo and carried. Chief
Robbins has received the cost, at present, for repairs to the truck
totaling $107,482.74. The insurance will pay for any additional damage
discovered after repairs are started. The money will be sent directly to
the Village. There will be a $500 deductible.
MASTER JOURNAL –
CODE ENFORCEMENT OTHER AIR COMPRESSOR Marvin from the Fire department asked why a new air compressor was purchased for $3500. Where the existing one is not that old and with the lines changed the old would be serviceable. Rex Simpson said it was Walt Rutski that requested a new compressor. The Trustees would like to have Contractor Rose to try and return the new one.
PAY BILLS Motion to adjourn
