Edna Shiverdecker stated the village "got took" on the top soil. She said horse weeds are growing instead of grass. She also has a problem with the alley running north-south. It has big pot holes. She talked with Chris Day and he said he would put cold patch on the alley. Russ Shiverdecker called the office and asked to talk with Mr. Day who was not in the office that day. Mrs. Shiverdecker stated that some pea gravel was put in the alley but the gravel did not help. Mr. Day stated that some alleys have been patched, but not all the alleys because of the weather. When weather permits, more alleys will be patched. The village did not put any pea gravel in the holes.
Ken Tubesing stated that the alleys uptown are the first ones to get done. The alleys on the outer edge or the village don't get patched.

The village needs a new perimeter description.  Mr. Day is waiting on an estimate.  The contractor has poured the floors for the bottom sump pits.  Ameritcon has submitted their first pay request.  Barret Paving is still shooting for a June 1st start date for Dayton Street. Bids for asphalt are higher than originally estimated due to rising oil costs.  The village needs to pass an ordinance so coverage in building inspection does not lapse.  Rick Faber explained that the state now wants control of residential building licensing and certifying.  The county inspector will do this after he is certified.
