The DPW is working with the Bureau of Aeronautics (BOS) to create a bid document and solicit bids.  EAST TROY VILLAGE BOARD MINUTES February 3, 2025 Page 2 of 2 Motion by Trustee Smalley, second by Trustee Holm, to approve Director Equitz to move forward with the BOA to seek bids for snow removal equipment using the 2022-2024 BIL allocation.
