Live at St. Joseph Village board, July 27

Reg Ankrom is here discussing electrical aggregation and is saying the village should take a break from aggregation for a year because they can’t match Ameren’s prices.

I was at dance class with my daughter but it looks like they approved the Wyldewood Cellar Development on Second Street. More about that later this week and the variance for the 8 foot fence.

Finance has nothing to report.

Sewer- they are purchasing a new impeller for the pumps at the sewer plant for $23,000.

Parks- they are going to spray for mosquitos before the festival. #praisethelord #thebloodsuckersbegone


Terri is asking for an explanation regarding why the village is paying when the community council runs the festival.

They discussed who is on the community council, how it is run, ect.

The meeting is over.

Super short.

Cross walks must be painted white because the yellow paint is unavailable due to COVID.
