MEETING MINUTES

 

MINUTES OF THE OF THE SIDEWALK COMMITTEE HELD AT THE

MUNICIPAL BUILDING AT 6:00 P.M.

 

I.          PRESENT:  – Trustees Mike DeChaney, Jerry Peterson, Jesse Watkins, Carolyn Elmore, and Village resident Dallas Embry. Village President Friend arrived at 6:42 p.m.

 

            Also present: Village Clerk Austen Wood. 

 

II.        BUSINESS:  

 

            Sidewalk and Curb Reimbursement Policy and Sidewalk Bid Updates- Sidewalk Committee Chairman Jerry Peterson brought before the Committee the bid packet for the Sidewalk Replacement project, which was made available to bidders as of July 14, 2009. Peterson mentioned possibly setting up a process in which the Village would be responsible for picking up broken sidewalk from residents’ homes during the process of having their sidewalk replaced.

 

            The Sidewalk Committee is expecting the bid for the sidewalk project to be around $24,000 as a very rough estimate. The recommendation for a reimbursement cost at this time is around $20 per lineal foot for a four foot wide by four inch thick slab of sidewalk concrete. These prices are meant to be an incentive for the residents of Mackinaw to be more inclined to replace sidewalks and curbs.

 

            The bid for Monday, July 27, 2009 is a project for replacing sidewalk for 14 lots on Fast Avenue. As of right now, there is a $5,000.00 spending cap on the sidewalk reimbursement appropriation.

 

III.       ADJOURNMENT @ 6:56 p.m.- There being no further business to come before the Board,

            Trustee Watkins moved, seconded by Trustee Elmore to adjourn, the motion carried.
