Back from another long-running village board meeting.

Signed contract for iron company to fix our water tower. Over thirty thousand dollars, but you do what you gotta do.

Confirmed I will be going to the state water operator school at the end of the month. Yay, political junket to the biggest tourist trap in the USA, North Platte, Nebraska.

Continued discussions over a person keeping livestock in the village in violation of ordinances. Person basically told the village attorney “Let’s see you do something about it.” We’ll be doing something about it.

More discussions about the guy who is using a village street as a junkyard for unusable vehicles. Conservatives on the village board don’t want to spend the money to force the issue; people in the village are getting fed up with the situation. I’m of the position it’s time to spend the money to get rid of the vehicles and go after the owner. (Village is behind me on this one.)
