Road Elevation Study and Plan was presented at the beginning of the meeting to provide an overview of Sea Level Rise and roads vulnerability in the Village. Consultants from HDR proposed an approach for the final plan for council to approve.

Other Council Meeting decisions:

Rideshare - delayed until Thursday as a result of an email from Freebee objecting to our comments in last week’s newsletter, describing the comments as “misleading.”  We stand by our comments and thank Freebee for actually confirming the numbers we reported.

Grant Writer Contract - Langston selected by Council to assist our staff grant writer at a cost not to exceed $48,000.

Solid Waste Assessment: Increased to $550/year from current $510.

Fire Department Analysis - to assess current capabilities against the Village’s risk and service expectations, added to consultants existing contract; $48,000 instead of a competitive bid process.

Five ordinances for changes recommended by Charter Review Committee passed on First Readings: Vacancy in council office, 3-year term instead of current 2-year term, Council compensation increased from $1000/month to $1500/month plus future cost of living increases.  

What? No After Action Status Report in the agenda? Although it was discussed, we couldn’t find it! But got it via public record request. The Council has asked for improvements to the format.  Click here.
