- There are no General Assistance cases.
- There is one case before the Plan Commission
- Shawn is working with landowners to add to the Medina Trail. The land is expected to cost at least $7000/acre.
Road Commissioner: Frank Sturm
- Leaf pick up began last week. It was quick since the leaves were dry and not all the leaves have dropped yet. Good Forest lets us drop off the collected leaves with them for free, but they are running out of room. We will need to find another alternative and may have to pay to have our leaves dropped off. One truck load contains 25 cubic yards of leaves, and we collect 130 loads per year. Good Forest only uses about half our leaves in their mulching operation, so they have several years’ worth of our leaves stored. We may have to pay between $30 and $50k to have this overage disposed.
- ICCI started the miscellaneous concrete work. They found a water valve under the road, but IL American water says it does not belong to them. A Frontier phone line was cut, and Frontier is working to restore it.
- There is a hole in one of the radiant tubes which heats the township garage. They will need a new heater and resized pipes. The garage is not insulated. One quote for this work is just under $12k.
- No update on the Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Peoria. Our attorney is going to set up a meeting with the city to discuss it.
- The State salt contract is with Cargill this year. Frank bought 500 tons at $81.48 per ton. The price last year was $81.88 per ton. We also have salt remaining from last year and will be in good shape for the winter.
