inch higher than the sidewalks and that should be addressed as well along with the
lower roof in the shop area. He would like to see Miron change the way the water drains

There is a lot of work going on at the Park and the planning/development department

40. Presentation on Flock Cameras with Discussion and/or Action on Purchase (on recording
https://youtu.be/8j-Ip3My6rU?t=90)
A presentation was given by Amy Cornell from Flock Safety and what technology is
available to the Village. Questions by Maloney as to if the cameras are movable in
which Cornell’s response was yes although she did not recommend moving them as
fixed locations are best. Question by Pinsonneault as to if the cameras were solar
powered. Cornell responded that most are solar powered. Maloney asked what the
life of the camera would be. Cornell’s response was several years. They would be
leased at $3,000 per year per camera. The software would be owned by the police
department. Cameras would be fixed and replaced as needed under the warranty. If
there was vandalism or a pole replacement, that would be covered by the police
department. Zeyghami asked about the distance the camera could view license places
to which Cornell responded that it could take a picture quite a distance away and as
fast as 100 mph. Maloney asked about the length of the contract which Cornell stated
would be two years. Chief Schulz requested the department start with two cameras
and get feedback and then move forward with more if needed. Chief Schulz stated that
he would start with major ingress and egress to the Village as locations. Cronin asked
what the funding options would be which Director Trautman indicated that it could be
put in the budget for 2024 and if there was surplus in 2023, the Village could move
forward then. Chief Schulz will reach out to business to see if there could be donations.
Motion by Ermeling, second by Weiland to approve purchase of four Flock Safety
cameras. Motion Carried.

44. Discussion and/or action on County Road X Intersection Improvements for Schofield
Avenue and Weston Avenue (on recording https://youtu.be/8j-Ip3My6rU?t=4684)
Zeyghami reported that these two intersections are important to the community and the
Village is looking to make them safer and more streamlined with little impact to property.
Roundabouts were discussed at both the intersections. Pinsonneault stated that it
would be difficult for area businesses on Schofield Avenue to have customers exit their
property with the roundabout there. Zeyghami stated the purpose of a roundabout is to
improve safety. Chief Schulz stated that there is a lot of traffic at the Schofield Avenue
intersection, and it makes him a little nervous as to how fast the traffic could go around
that intersection with a roundabout in place. Zeyghami stated that we should look at
the roundabout and get a property design/layout and get a cost estimate and then the
Board can make a decision.
Motion by Zeyghami, second by Weiland to hire a consultant to analyze the two
intersections.

that are supposed to be right-of-way that are still deeded to the original property owner.
The question is what the Board wants staff to do. Higgins said that we could look into
an intern to help with this and get it straightened out. She would look into bringing an
