The Exeter Village Board met on Wednesday, November 12th
covering a wide variety of topics.
After approving previous minutes and invoices the board
moved right into the first item of business, an application for a liquor
license from Greg’s Market.
Owner Greg Yound was present and noted that he was asking
for the recommendation from the board for a class D license to sell beer and
wine. The board unanimously approved a recommendation for the license for
Greg’s Market and noted that the application will now go to the State.
“Thank you for trying to improve your business,” board
member Kathy Erdkamp expressed to Yound.
Brian Murphy, a member of the Exeter History Book Committee,
was next on the agenda. “It has been 10 years ago we did the history book
and now with the profits from the book we would like to put up a five foot by
three foot monument to honor veterans near the historical marker,” he
explained.
“We would like to leave the (memorial) bench where it is now
maybe put the monument in the same area (south of the fire hall on main
street).”
After viewing a photo example of the monument and some
possible placement options, chairman of the village board Alan Michl gave his
approval, “This is in a main area where more people could see it.”
The board gave verbal approval for the location and also for
the size of the memorial. Murphy thanked them and noted, “We will get the
ball rolling and hopefully by Memorial Day of next year we will be able to have
the monument dedicated.”
The board opened the sealed bids for excess equipment.
Up for bids were a dump truck, four-wheeler and pressure washer. The board
approved Jason Oldehoeft’s bid for the dump truck and the bid from John Mueller
for the four-wheeler.
The bid for the pressure was lower than the board would
accept, “It’s worth more than that in scrap,” noted Michl.
Village Maintenance Supervisor John Mueller reported that he
had ordered new street signs. He also noted that the toddler slide at the
pool is losing it’s clear coat and will have to be refinished. Mueller is
exploring options for redoing the turtle. He also informed the board the
rest of the concrete work would be done in the spring.
Clerk Becky Erdkamp reported the total sales tax for August
was $13,530.16 and keno receipts for September were $880.35. She noted that
Elliot Erdkamp is making progress on creating a cement sidewalk around the
brick sign at Gilbert’s Park as his Eagle Scout project.
Erdkamp also related that Librarian Jessica Votipka has the
library’s new computer up and running and has the electrical work done so that
the public computer could be moved. After setting the next board meeting
for December 3rd at 7 p.m. the board moved to adjourn.
