            Ron is asking for a liquor license for River Days for August 11, 12, 13 and 14th.

 

            Wayne Albrecht has gotten approval for new garage on his property with a variance.  Per Virgil Wire the new building would be an improvement.  Mr. Diffenderfer made a motion and Mrs. Coldiron seconded the motion to approve the structure based on the zoning board of review’s recommendation.  All were in favor, motion carried.

PUBLIC PROPERTY, WATER AND SEWER:

 

            Mr. Hastings says that Stacy Adams would like to pay $40 per week and drop the interest for the water bill from now on.   However, the valve to shut off the water has to be fixed.  Mr. Hastings is suggesting we get it fixed.  A motion was made by Mrs. Coldiron and seconded by Mrs. Wire to have Cox come in and fix the valve in the Adams property.  Roll call was made.  All were in favor.  Motion carried.

            The alley behind GG’s is really dark.  Mr. Hastings is suggesting that we should put a light in the back area.  Com Ed will have to be contacted to see what can be done. 

 

            GG’s Bar & Grill is requesting that they get their own water service.  The Village has to put in a water main to the property line but anything from the property line is the responsibility of GG’s.  They would like to get this done as soon as possible.  Mr. Hastings made a motion and Mr. Diffenderfer seconded the motion to hire John Curran to do digging and Jerry Edler to do the plumbing to run the water line over to GG’s property line.  Roll call was made.  All were in favor.  Motion carried.
