• D.O.C.A.S. Nick Gottwalt is currently work on the Village’s new website. Nick will have a webinar Thursday December 6, 2018. Hopefully the new webpage will be live at the end of this week or the first of next week.
• The Village has stopped taking e-check as payments for water / sewer / garbage bills. There were problems with return e-checks for NSF or not being payable to locate the customer’s bank account. When e-checks were returned the Village was not notified and the fees for processing an e-check was deducted from the resident’s payment, this created problems reconciling bank statement, each entry had to have a receipt plus a Journal Entry to expense the fees.
• Sunday December 2, 2018 Trustee Todd Cantrell called Village President Hintz about a possible sewer lift station problem. Resident at 113 1st Avenue has a sewer check valve to keep from sewer backing up into their house. When the resident heard that close, he then called Trustee Cantrell about the problem.
Village President Hintz then called Maintenance Operator Dan Clark about the problem. Dan Clark did come in and checked out the problem, it was found to have tripped a circuit breaker inside Pump House A (where the power for this lift station comes from), a pump had gone bad, and the sewer was starting to back up.
Dan Clark got it back in operation and called Mississippi Valley Pump on Monday morning, the bad pump was pulled and taken to Mississippi Valley Pump’s shop to check over and then quote the Village what the repairs or new pump would be.
• D.O.C.A.S Gottwalt informed the Board that during the plowing of the large snow fall, it appears the maintenance crew at Mansur Wood plowed and pushed snow onto empty lot at corner of Kohrs Drive and Crampton Avenue. Nick Gottwalt has pictures and the snowblade impression into the snow pile is the V shaped just like the pick up with snowplow Mansur Wood apartments use. Nick also has a picture of the picked with that type of blade on the front of the truck. Scott Laud, with Walter D. Laud has given Nick a verbal quote of $350.00 to $750.00 to repairs.
