Public Comment:
1. Jessie Stout asked if he could put an old soda machine in front of his store for Old Fashion Days. He plans to sell soda for 10 cents a bottle. Center Street will be closed during this time, so this should not be a problem.
2. Orval Haas wanted to know what the cost would be to repair the drainage ditch by Marilyn Wasson’s house. Roehling had a bid to rip-rap the banks. Total cost would be $2,000 with Wasson to pay 75% and the Village to pay remaining 25% since the east bank of the ditch belongs to the Village. Village Administrator will check to see if there are any grants available for them.
3. Leonard Degner requested the Electric Utility look at the service to his house. He has been having trouble with lights flickering. Electric Utility will look at this first thing the next day.
