The Board discussed and made recommendations of Village refuse collection and fees. Director of Public Works Brian Koll presented the Board with a breakdown of revenues and expenditures for refuse and recycling. Currently, the refuse collection is at a loss of $18,377 and the recycling is at a loss of $2,426. Tr. Schroeder suggested increasing the Village garbage bag rates 60% to cover the deficit for 2012. Another suggestion was to add a user fee to all utility bills to cover the deficit. The Board agreed the program will need review to be more cost effective. Pr. Schraufnagel recommended the Streets, Utilities & Solid Waste Committee hold a meeting to further discuss the options, make a solution, and present to the Board.
In an effort to reduce costs, the janitorial service of the municipal building is under review. Jenna Rhein, Brian Koll, Shannon Barniskis and Chief Mireski presented the Board with several solutions for building cleaning, which include the following: hiring a different janitorial service that will clean to Village employee expectations and is more cost effective, hiring a janitorial service to maintain only the public areas of the building, or hiring a Village employee to clean the building. The Department Heads will schedule another meeting to discuss and later present a final plan to the Board.
The first reading of Ordinance #273 dog license fees was presented. The Ordinance would increase dog license fees to $10 for a spayed or neutered dog and to $15 for a non-spayed or non-neutered dog. The Ordinance will be considered at the next Board meeting.
