Village Board Notes - December 7

by Leesa K. Bartu

The Exeter Village Board appointed a street superintendent and reappointed Alan Michl as the Chairman of the Board during their meeting on Wednesday evening.

Tom Krueger, a JEO employee, was named the street superintendent and spent some time during the meeting clarifying his responsibilities to the board. He will be assisting the village with the one and six year plan and will assist the clerk in filing the proper reports to the State for funding.

During the discussion with Krueger the board added several blocks of paving to the six year road plan. Discussion with those in attendance noted that the last paving project in Exeter was in 2003 and that there are just a few blocks left to pave in town. Unfortunately, Chairman Alan Michl noted that "You have to have about six blocks to pave for someone to come and do the project."

Ordinance 568 was approved by the board which closes one block of Tecumseh on the west edge of Exeter. According to Village Clerk Becky Erdkamp the street was platted but never opened and the parties adjacent to the street requested that it be closed.

Village Maintenance Supervisor John Mueller noted that he had requested bids from several companies for the Lift Station roof. He only received one from Magnum out of Fremont. He noted that they had done excellent work at the fire hall and on the village office. They also gave a bid to cover the windows at the fire hall with metal and do some other repairs. The board approved hiring Magnum for both projects.

Mueller also reported the bids on the pool repair were between $3267 and $8,000 with the board choosing to hire Christensen at the lower cost. Mueller noted that there are new ADA regulations for swimming pools and he is consulting JEO about complying with them.

Mueller informed the board that the system of notification for issues with the water tower, wells and lift station are currently communicated through phone lines at a cost of about $150.00/month. There are issues with the phone lines at times and the more reliable option is one using radio frequency. Mueller wanted to make the board aware that the cost to change to the radio frequency would be around $30,000. The board took no action.

Vice-Chairman Tim Wilbeck asked about contacting Perennial about street lights that are out. Village Clerk Erdkamp noted that she had faxed a list to Perennial earlier in the day and there was discussion on both updating the holiday decorations attached to the street lights and repainting or replacing the poles.

Under the Marshall's report, Chairman Michl noted that a new officer will be working with Friend and Exeter this week.

Village Clerk Erdkamp reported that the sales tax for September was $7643.94 and the auditors will be in the office next week.
