Live at St. Joseph Village Board, Feb. 27, 2024

Thanks to MX Electric for sponsoring our live blogs.

I am 11 minutes behind but they are going over the audit.
They got a clean opinion which is the highest opinion the auditors can give.

The audit can be found here.


GFL is here to do a municipal contract presentation. They are a trash hauler. Discussing how the municipal versus individual contracts. A municipal contract would be billed through the village and include flat fees. 95 gallon carts, EOW recycling, annual bulky item clean up, free municipal building trash pick up and they have back up drivers.

Saying there would be government oversite with the service.

Saying the trash would be $18 a month more than likely. You get a lower rate because a larger group is negotiating, ect.

Angela Page saying she doesn’t like mandating who residents have to use for a garbage hauler.

Discussing how Appl sold their company to Republic. Tami Fruhling-Voges saying that she can see a benefit but is concerned with the extra work for the village staff. “I am not opposed to looking at it and seeing what the prices would be but it’s something we need to think hard about.”

Joe saying every town he has worked in has had a garbage hauler.

Saying they could do a survey.

GFL already picks up in town I guess.

Discussing the bids for the park fields. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16TyC2FaIYNQOZJ4mJoxZNx8UK7KP4wZN
