February Newsletter 2024
Dear Residents,
As the calendar turns to February and we enjoy the unusually mild weather, we are reminded that we still have at least 6 weeks of winter. Please remember to keep vehicles off the streets at night as snow can appear anytime.
I am pleased to report that the financial standing of your Village remains very strong. This allows us to continue infrastructure improvements to our Village streets, water, and sewer systems. The Village has been on an every-other-year major improvement project schedule. In fiscal 2024, Berne Street which runs alongside the Cooperative Elevator Company with be completely rebuilt. This will include water and sewer piping to all residents along Berne Street, and all new street resurfacing. This project will be completed in partnership with the Winsor Township and the Cooperative Elevator Company. No long-term debt will be needed to complete the project. This project will be completed before the fall of 20204. Many other small improvements will also be made in 2024.
Questions or comments are always welcomed by your Village Council on any Village-related issues. Call the Village office or please attend a Village Council meeting on the 3rd Monday of the month at 7 p.m. Enjoy the rest of the winter, and hopefully an early spring.
Sincerely,
Mike LePage
Village President
Other News:
Yard Waste
Emterra’s yard waste pickup will resume on April 3, 2023. If you have branches, leaves, or grass clippings that need to be taken care of please take them to the DPW Garage at 70 N. Main St. Please do not place tree branches, leaves and other yard debris out in the street. It creates a hazard for other residents; and can make it difficult to clear snow.

DPW: 7 am –3:30pm

Snow Removal
To make the job of snow removal, go as smoothly as possible, please do not put your trash in the street and if possible, please wait to set your trash out until after the plows have passed. If you have a portable basketball hoop out by the street, please move it back so the plows do not hit them.
Police Parking Reminder
No parking on village streets between 2am and 6am. Violators will be ticketed.
