Discussion and possible action on manhole rehabilitation – The committee and village board previously approved a proposal from HydroKlean for monoforming two manholes. Since then, Kayla found a new vendor that can line the manholes for a fraction of the cost, so she cancelled the monoforming.

Motion Muleski, second Guillemot to approve Summit Infrastructure’s proposal for a total of $22,595 to be paid from the non-lapsing storm/sanitary sewer replacement line-item. Motion carried. 5.

Tammy stated that wastewater can pay for that phone line going forward. 6. Discussion and possible action on sale of Ford pickup with salt dogg and plow – Kayla discussed selling the ford pickup with attachments. The truck is not being used and is just sitting around. Kayla would like to list it on Wisconsin Surplus at the same time as the old vac truck. Tammy asked that the money from the sale be returned to the equipment fund line-item. 7. Discussion and possible action on creation of new line-item in wastewater budget for inspections – Kayla stated that the inspections of the lift stations and generators are currently coming from the repairs and maintenance line-item.
