PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Paul List discussed the request for a developer to purchase a
5-acre portion of the sewer plant land for the development of a senior
assisted living facility. Basic details about the initiative were conveyed
to the Board. The Board will consider the request and advise him soon.
Dale Leiter proposed a future second fire station on the south side of
the railroad tracks, possibly at Appletree Acres. With the new subdivision
and Empire Zone, it would be prudent for emergencies to have one station
on each side of the railroad tracks.
TRUSTEE CONCERNS
Trustee Virginia Adams complained about residents not putting trash inside
Village bags used, rather tying them to the garbage bins. She would prefer
garbage not be picked up by Waste Management if not in a Village bag.
We should be sure the bags were at least taken by Waste Management in
those cases. She also requested new Village of Bergen signs. Joe was asked
to research the cost of new signs.
