Tony Griepentrog presided at the Stronghurst Village Board meeting held on October 4th, in the absence of President Eric Chockley.
Angela Myers reported the fall city wide clean up date has been set for Friday, October 22nd.
Lawrence Neff expressed his concern that there is still no deputy at the Southern school around 8:00 a.m. on school days. Even though the school has hired someone to be out there at that time, for the safety of the children, he feels a deputy should be there. There are no parking signs posted and he believes they should be enforced.
David Vancil reported the zoning committee is requesting an ordinance be passed requiring a $15 permit for any slab of cement which would be poured for construction of dog pens, car ports, etc. A fine of $75 would be charged if done without the permit. They will have Village Attorney Mike Neff draw up an ordinance.
