Village Maintenance Report – Heyen reported 990,000 gallons of water metered and pumps ran for 171 hours. The lift station processed 492,000 gallons.  Heyen also reported the he has pumped water to the lagoons to keep proper depth.  Ruby commented on needing more dirt for the playground in Todd Park. He has used a skid loader to spread what was there. Heyen will have B & S Trucking bring in a few more loads.
Fire/Rescue Report- NTR
Union United Inc. Report: The Annual August Golf Tournament at Grandpa’s Woods has been canceled due to the increasing costs with new management taking over.  Last year the tournament took in the least funds yet, even though the flights were full.  The venue has forced us to cater the event and has increased the fees all around.  We will look to find another golf course to hold it at, possibly Wildwood in Nebraska City.

Feek 2nd the motion.  By Roll, Trustee votes as follows, Seyler – Aye, Feek – Aye, Fritschle – Absent, Ruby-Aye, Hill – Aye. Motion approved.
