The Village Board passed a motion regarding specific guidelines for the use of Village vehicles. The guidelines prohibit the personal use of vehicles, require log sheets for employees, and the Village insignia to be present on all vehicles.
Trustee Kershner is also working on developing additional guidelines and procedures. The Board will continue to look at all of their options and add to (or change) the guidelines as needed.
This measure follows a complaint about a village vehicle being used for personal business.
Additional Road Work
The Village Board passed a motion to utilize accumulated, rollover CHIP funds for improvements to both Franklin and Gibson Streets. Under the program, road maintenance work must last ten years or more. The total cost of the project would be about $187,000 – which would be completely covered by the rollover finds. In the past, the Village has attempted to secure funding for road work on Gibson Street – but been unsuccessful.
