Old Business:
Snow Removal Bids: – Since Alderman Simon Thrower was absent, there was not a quorum to be able to vote on the bids, this was tabled until December meeting.
Sewer: – Dean and Jeff attended the Water Board meeting on Monday, November 10th. The Water Board wants to take over the billing and collecting for both Sewer and Trash. They will add it to the water bills. Then they will be able to shut off sewer accounts that are delinquent. The Water Dept has the ability to take online payments and debit/credit cards. They would charge the city a flat $450.00 fee per month then remit a check monthly with the money collected. A beginning date of 1-1-26 or 3-1-26 was discussed. Cliff made the motion to accept the Water Board offer with a six-month trial period, Brandon seconded. Motion carried. Shirley and Amy will get together and work on setting up the new accounts and a beginning date.
Security System: Internet has been hooked up at Park, Aaron will be in to setup at the office.
# 15 Lakeview Drive: – Still working on fixing the road.
Signs: – Amy Hustead is working on the new signs.
Speed Bumps: Dennis Smith replied and there are requirements for the speed bumps, they cannot be placed so they create a hazard, must be clearly visible, check with Fire and Ambulance to make sure there are no problems, and contact Liability insurance to see what they cover. Susie will check into.
Green Construction:- Dennis Smith sent a Release of Claims under Contract for Mayor to sign, stating that we accept the $2,500.00 offer from Green Construction and will release him from any other obligations.
Christman Decorations: – have contacted Ameren about putting them on the poles.
Memorials: Linda Luekenhoff has suggested checking into benches from U-Line. Susie will check into this.

Sewer Pumps: All is going well. The Rt C pump is the oldest one in the system, so far, it’s working well, have not ordered a replacement yet.
Streets: The tube on Rt C and Clow Street needs replaced. It has collapsed and needs a new tube. We will contact MoDOT and ask for repairs.
