TO: BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM: Ed Quick, Working Supervisor
PERIOD: July 2003
REPORT BY DEPARTMENT:
1. PUBLIC WORKS
A. Street System
We have had several complaints from people about brush covering
signs, sidewalks, and streets. We have been cutting the brush back
when we get the chance.
The hot patch machine has been used on some roads to fill in
potholes, but some roads are in such bad shape that this won’t help
much.
In the next coming weeks, we are going to crack seal a few more
roads, and spray patch and resurface a few others. I would like to
use the new paver on a few short streets – a ton of type 7 top costs
$33.20.
I have been in contact with The Line Stripping xo. To set up a date
to stripe the roads, hopefully before school starts.
B. Storm Water System
The storm we had on July 21 uncovered and raised 140’ of
drainage pipe that we had put on Wyckoff Road. We had to install
the whole system again.
We have also installed drainage pipe at several village residents
who wanted to fill in their ditches.
C. Water System –
There were four water breaks in 3 days – three on Forest Drive and
one on West Upland.
D. Drainage System
A Sewer Maintenance Program has been established where we
flush and clean a section of the Village each year. This year we
did about 5000 ft.
We had 20 UFPO’s to mark out and 5 sewer inspections, along
with one sewer plug-up on Kline Road.
E. Solid Waste
As you know at the last Board Meeting, we had a severe rain and
wind storm which knocked down several large and small trees and
a lot of branches which are still being brought out. Reeves Bros.,
who hauls the brush away, feels that there should be an extra
expense on such occasions. I hope that the new flyer that the
Public Works Committee mailed to the residents changes the way
the residents are putting out brush.
F. Building and Grounds
We poured the concrete floor in two bays and replaced three doors.
We have two more bays to pour.
G. Equipment: DPW Fuel Consumption for the month: Gas = 426 gal.
Diesel = 768 gal.
H. Personnel – No report
I. Safety
The new exhaust was installed this month.
