  1. Baumer Construction has installed the roof on the new well house building at Four Seasons Park. Once they are completely finish, the electrical department will move the switch gear and generator into the new building. Once that is completed, we can raze the old well house building and finish the concrete walk path.
  2. The electrical department has begun testing three phase electric meters throughout the village. The electric department brings in an independent meter tester each year to test all three phase meters for accuracy. This helps ensure that the meters are reading correctly. Testing began Monday the 12th and will last about two weeks, as the village has about 150 three phase meters to test.
  3. The State Route 66 Cross Walk is complete and is functioning correctly. Crews from DL Smith installed the pavement markings and the bollards to wrap up the project. Chief Morris is working with the school to present an assembly where he can talk about the proper use of the cross walk.
  4. Parks Crews are preparing the pool for this summer’s use. Crews have been cleaning both the pool house and pool in preparation for the opening of the pool on Memorial Day. Season tickets will go on sale at the pool on Monday, May 19th. The pool will officially open on Memorial Day weekend.
  5. The public works department has begun cutting in a drive off of Minster-Egypt Road at the Luedeke Farm. This drive will be for the police department to access the shooting range that will be built near the solar panels. Once the fence is moved, we will begin building the mound for the shooting range.
