Reports:

Village Administrator: After making an agreement with Lafayette Pointe, the paving on Ripple Lane was completed last week. Cost for this project was approximately $2,500.00.

Since we have received the bucket truck back from the repair shop, John inspected the flashing light at Russell and Kirk. This light has not been working for sometime. John reported that he was unable to repair the light. He recommends an electrician look at it. After much discussion and since this particular intersection is a 4-way stop, council decided that the light really doesn’t need to be repaired now.
