Trustees approved the purchase of a new truck for the village from Bonnell at a cost of about $85,000. This includes hydraulics, salt spreader, 10-foot straight blade snowplow and several options including lighting and running boards.
“We are expecting it would be within the month for the delivery of the new truck,” said Village President Wayne Williams. “We would like to have it well before winter — our current Dodge truck might not make another winter.”

Also approved was the fiscal year 2018 appropriations ordinance. Trustees included appropriations for a new office printer, the replacement truck, and an additional storm siren. Funds for the storm siren are slated at about $20,000 with the location yet to be determined. Two areas the board is considering is near the subdivision or water tower.
Other items discussed include the filling of several potholes in the village along with the mosquito spraying efforts.
Absent from Wednesday evening’s meeting was Mike Misch.
