Village Board Notes - February 7

by Leesa K. Bartu

The Exeter Village Board approved the one and six year road plan and accepted the retirement plans of Library Director Nina Bartu in their monthly meeting on Wednesday, February 8th.

After passing Resolution 12-02, approving the one and six year road plan, the Board heard from Library Director Bartu who gave the yearly library report and noted the paragraph on the second page. It explained that she will be retiring as library directory this fall and her current assistant, Jessica Votipka, will fill the director position,

"Jessica is going through the basic courses to be certified and is doing well with that, I will stay on to work one day a week or fill in when need but this way I can be there to help her transition over," said Bartu.

The board expressed their appreciation for Bartu's years of service with Chairman Alan Michl noting, "We hate to see you leave the position but glad to see you have the opportunity to retire."

The Board also heard from Exeter resident Jerry Walford who presented a photo of a scoreboard for the ballfield that his family would like to purchase in memory of Lori Ruhl-Walford and Gary Ruhl. The scoreboard will be wireless and the family will be choosing an appropriate logo for decoration. Walford will contact the Board when the equipment arrives and the Village will assist the installation. Board member Kathy Erdkamp noted that, "This is a very nice gift."

The neighborhood watch program in Exeter has dissolved and the watch board had some funds that were originally donated to the program by the village. Elva McBride, on behalf of the neighborhood watch, had requested guidance for emptying the fund, noting that they were interested in donating to the Exeter Cemetery Board. After discussion the Board approved donation of the leftover neighbor watch funds to the Exeter Cemetery Board.

The Board reviewed the applications they had received for Pool Manager, Assistant Pool Manager and Lifeguards for this summer. After discussion the board voted to hire Casey Pohl, Manager, Amanda Dineen, Assistant Pool Manager and as lifeguards, Claire White, Ashley Miller, Meghan Miller, Austin Stride, Kaitlyn Hertzel and Hunter Stride with the stipulation that all employees must obtain the proper certification for their position.

Fillmore County Zoning Director Donna Manwarring arrived at the meeting to discuss a building permit that she had discussed with resident Robert Rhodes. Rhodes was interested in purchasing part of a lot from a neighbor but the new zoning regulations make the property impossible to split.

For the Marshall's report the board discussed and passed unanimously Resolution 12-03, the closing of Exeter ballfield and Gilbert's Park from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.

Maintenance Supervisor John Mueller reported that while he was cleaning snow the alternator went out on the motor grader but he was able to get in running again. He also reported that the pool repairs will be done in March.

Clerk Becky Erdkamp reported that the sales tax figures for October were $1288.78 for motor vehicles and $6938.48 for the pool fund. She also presented a Keno report noting that the city has received $490.00. The Board set the next meeting for Tuesday, March 6th at 7 p.m.
