Department Superintendent Department of Public Service report – June 14, 2017
1. Fire Hydrant restoration – I am requesting that Council please make a motion to pass, for Mr. T’s Sandblasting to sandblast fire hydrants at $145.00 each, not to exceed $25,375.00.
2. Flag Poles – We have installed the Route 8 replacement flag poles. Old poles were 5′ in length and the new ones are 6′ long. The old ones were in rough condition, so we decided to replace with 6′ which helps flags from being caught up on the wooden utility poles. The 6′ poles were actually $2.00 less per pole than the 5′ poles.
3. Lawn Maintenance – Our crews are currently maintaining 30 vacant properties. This requires a significant amount of time from our maintenance men. Typically these properties are cut every 2-3 weeks, making sure they are not in violation.
4. Pot Holes – We have patched the majority of our potholes, especially the temporary patches in the Presidential’s. We still have several areas of road repair to complete. Once the Presidential streets are repaved, this will help significantly reduce the amount of patching to be done.
5. Sewer Camera Truck – This truck is now up and running and we have started filming sewers. This is a great asset to our Village.
6. Magnolia Curb Project – Will begin Wednesday, June 14th and all residents were notified by hand delivered letters in the beginning of June. I received only one call from a resident with concerns. I assured him that we would observe the project, and once the project is completed, over the next year we will address any issues that may arise due to installing the curbs. The biggest issue I foresee would be water drainage.
7. Lot Striping – We have contracted United Striping Services Inc. to stripe Smith Park, Huntington Park, Fire Dept and Ledge Rd Service Dept. at the cost of $1,035.00.
8. Ledge Rd & Rte 8 Signage Project – Is complete, other than planting some trees. The Ledge Rd sign has brought us many compliments. Mayor Nehez worked with the Service Dept. on this project from start to finish.
9. Village Beautification – With Mayor Nehez’s direction, the Service Dept. crews have been working on many projects with Mayor Nehez such as plantings, landscaping etc.
10. May Cleanup – This annual program was yet another success. Our residents truly appreciate this program and take advantage of it each year. We collected 49 tons of waste at Houghton Rd. dumpsters; 27 tons of waste at Chestnut Rd dumpster; and 42 tons of waste at Ledge Rd dumpsters. Grand total of 118 tons of waste removed from our Village.
11. Point of Sale Inspections – To date we have completed 45 point of sale inspections on residential properties. Of those 45 properties, 28 have been sold thus far.
12. Property Violations – We currently have 19 property violations pending. Thank you, Harold J. Walters
