He stated that the agreement will have goals set for both the Village and Kelly’s landing.

Mayor Morrow informed the Board that as part of the lease agreement, Kelly’s Landing needs to provide a Financial Statement to back-up the revenue reported in the future.
Police: Trustee Neece has been working with Commander Lee with the RICO Sheriffs Dept. to stagger Officer Rasso’s work hours during the summer months. That will begin this week.
Reports of Officers:
Village Clerk: Clerk Hoffman wanted to inform the Board as well as the residents of a telephone scam that has affected at least one resident. It is called the “Can you hear me now?” scam. Basically, a scammer calls and there is so much noise on the line that the person can’t hear them. The call is disconnected and the scammer calls back. They ask “Can you hear me now?” and the person receiving the call usually answers “Yes”. At that point, the scammer is recording the answer. Somehow with that recording, the scammer is able to authorize credit card charges.
Clerk Hoffman also informed the Board that an Ordinance Violation has gone out to Venus Thompson regarding the state of her property as well as the burnt house. The Ordinance basically informs her that something needs to be done since it’s been nearly 2 years since the fire. Clerk Hoffman informed the Board that she will be attending an Allocation and Distribution Workshop in Galesburg on August 3, 2017.
Department of public works: Justin Parchert informed the Board that the street repair is in the works and he asks for patience while it is ongoing. He also has plans to seal coat very soon. The crew replaced a culvert on 2nd Ave and 2nd Street and the docks are in. Mowing is getting done as well.
