Property maintenance and grants dominated the agenda at the regular Carrier Mills Village Board meeting Tuesday.
Mayor Louis Shaw said a building at the intersection of Main Street and U.S. Route 45 continues to be a nuisance. The building, owned by Fred Hutson, split and started dropping bricks to the pavement on Route 45 last year. After discussion at board meetings, Hutson agreed to take the front off the building, put on a new roof and get it in better condition after the winter weather cleared, Shaw said. However, nothing has happened since the front was taken off the building and the roof was removed.
"It's even more dangerous," Shaw said.
If nothing has happened by May 1, the board plans to ask Hutson to come to the May board meeting and discuss the matter further.
Geoff Absher, Derek Field, Jim Swan and David Kyle voted yes; Bill Jensik abstained.
The village held a public hearing for a sewer upgrade grant application under Community Development Assistance Project funding. The village applied successfully for a design grant; now the goal is to secure a grant to handle the sewer repair and upgrade project.
The board agreed, after the fact, to purchase of a storm siren. The board had agreed by polling to go ahead and get the siren, then sign off formally at the board meeting. The old siren met its end during the last routine test, so another one was needed, Absher told board members. Since it is storm season, board members agreed to allow Absher to go ahead and purchase the siren on an emergency basis.
Absher got a siren for $2,500. The cost will be paid out of two funds -- $1,000 from the Fire Equipment Depreciation fund and $1,500 from the Decoration Fund.
