Dawson Village Board December meeting
minutes
The regularly scheduled December meeting of the Dawson Village Board was
brought to order by Mayor Bob Day. Trustees present were: Joan Davis; Nancy
Prytherch; Clarence Worley; Violet Blose; John Reilly and Jami Sponsler.
John Reilly made a motion to accept the minutes, with a second by Jami
Sponsler. MC
Clarence Worley made a motion to accept the bill, with a second by Jami
Sponsler. MC
Engineer Gary Kuntzman asked that the board determine which type of grant the
village would apply for. He discussed the type of grants available. The project at
Wandering Trails would cost approximately $786,000 and would service 68 homes as
well as improve flow to other water customers.
Clarence Worley made a motion to apply for a Design grant, with a second by
Nancy Prytherch. MC
Mr. Kuntzman told the board that grant writers are writing grants at no charge
right now, as they are being federally funded.
Mr. Kuntzman said he had finally spoken with someone at IDOT and was told
that Dawson Lane is within the jurisdiction of the Village of Dawson.
Water Superintendent Charles Abbott said the water plant needed a new ceiling.
He is looking at a type of suspended ceiling for a cost of about $2,000 for materials.
Village employees would install the ceiling.
Joan Davis made a motion to purchase the ceiling materials, with a second by
Jami Sponsler. MC
Mr. Abbott told the board there had been an oil leak in the country water tower.
As a result moisture had gotten into the controls and frozen them, requiring a
transducer to be replaced for $1,000, plus the fee for a service man to come from St.
Louis to repair the controls. He said Mechanicsburg has a fiberglass building for sale
that he would like to buy to house the tower controls. It would protect the controls
from the winter weather and also shield them from the heat of the sun in the summer.
Nancy Prytherch made a motion for Mr. Abbott to pursue purchasing the
fiberglass building from Mechanicsburg, with a second by Joan Davis. MC
Attorney Steve Scott said the codification would be ready for adoption at the
January 4, 2010 meeting if approved. He asked Treasurer Lacy Michael if the cable was
paying its franchise fee quarterly. No change needs to be made in that ordinance.
Mayor Bob Day addressed several topics:
--Tri-City High School asked for a $100 donation for their after prom event. Joan
Davis made a motion to donate $100 for the after prom, with a second by Nancy
Prytherch. MC
--Telescan completed the repair work on the sewer on Walnut Street. They said
one or two of the breaks may need wider seals. At this point they will watch to see if
more work may be needed after the winter.
--Board members were polled by telephone to approve repair on the dump truck.
The repair bill has not been received yet.
--The Senior Dinner will be on Saturday, December 19, 2009. Workers need to be
at the village hall around 10:30 to set up. The dinner will begin at 2 p.m.
--All attempts to contact the magician, John Brownback, as entertainment at the
Senior dinner have proven to be futile.
Mayor Day called for an executive session to discuss personnel issues.
The regular meeting was resumed.
Joan Davis made a motion to approve action taken in executive session to raise
salaries 3.5 percent, with a second by Nancy Prytherch. MC
Mayor Day called for a motion for adjournment.
Nancy Prytherch made the motion for adjournment, with a second by Jami
Sponsler. MC
