The Hancock-Henderson Quill, Inc.
-from minutes of the regular meeting, August 4, 2004.
The Biggsville Village Board met in regular session with President Janet Monville presiding.
Nanci Sterett reported that she had some money for the swing set and spring mates for Reid Park, but that the Corporate needed to have a formal waiver stating that GE will not be liable for any accidents that may happen on the equipment. (GE will not be liable because of being the ones to install the equipment.)
Gloria Minard made a motion that ELFUN Organization can come to Biggsville at Reid's Park and set up the play equipment where Nanci Sterett would like the equipment to be placed. Motion was seconded by Daryl Forbes. Roll was called and all present voted Yes.
Glenn Olson wanted a variance for a Mobile Home removal and for a new Mobile Home to be moved in. Bill Leonard explained the procedures for a variance. The proper procedures are a written request needs to be made to the board and a fee needs to be paid.
Kevin Wiehardt reported on the Grant funding from WIRC Housing. He informed the board that they would need to set a target area and then a public notice would need to be published 7 days before any meeting was to take place to inform the residents of the Village. Meeting was set for August 25, 2004 at 6:00 p.m. for the Residents of the Village to be informed of the Grant and what it entails. Public Notice will appear in the Hancock/Henderson Quill. The water list needs to be given to WIRC to send residents of Biggsville a notice to attend.
