S REPORT OF THE ENGINEER - January 1976
OR &]FR PLANT
Final inspection of the Plant was made by our Consulting Engineers during the past
few weeks. A punch list was made by our Engineers with the help of our Sewer
Plant Operator, Mr. Gary Gleason. There still are a numbs of things to perform
on the punch list before nrproval will be made for final payment. There are also
a number of items that cannot be connpl.uted unhil Spring, such as planting and Ether
landscaping items.
Plans should be made at this time for taking bids, if necessary, for the operation
of the Sewer Plant so that the proper budget item can be included in next year's
sewer plant operation budget.
S141M. LINES
The replacement of 346 feet of 10 -inch sewer line with 12 -inch sewer line on
Lower Remington Road has been completed. The total amount of cost to the Village
has been tabulated, and the cost will be forwarded to Lansing for payment. The
correction of the problems at Manhole 223 on Lower Remington Road has not been
started due to weather conditions. This again is a correction job that will be
paid for by Lansing.

The Village Forester has spoken to residents Harold William and Dr. Farrow of
tltghgate Road. They would be happy to have the maples planted on their frontage
along 17ighgate Road and would be willing to pay t)1e partial cost as laid out by
the Village Trustees for this type of tree planting. If there are no objections
from the Board, I will proceed with the planting of these trees as soon as the
weather permits.
FIRE HALL
At the request of the Fire Chief, the Public Works personnel did some repair work
on the roof of the Fire Hal'. about a month ago. It seems that the repair has been
effective in stopping the i:oking,aroand some flashing; but it is suggested hhat
this roof, which is now twenty years old. should be thoroughly examined and a
price obtained for possible replacement in the near future.
STREETS
With the extended cold weather and with weekly snow storms, it has been necessary
to use more than the average amount of salt on the Village streets to remove ice
and snow. We will continue with our policy of salting only hills, curves, and
intersections in an effort to reduce the amount of salt used for snow and ice
control.
