Department Reports: Deputy Police Chief Rich Jaczak informed us that Public Works will be out tomorrow and Friday doing street sweeping. Tickets will be written rain or shine. Last week they gave out warning notices. He made a correction to a WBBM Radio news story about a shooting in Stickney. It was actually in Central Stickney.
Fire Chief Larry Meyer notified us that the water pump failed on the two-year-old ambulance. It has 9600 miles. It was covered under the warranty. The Illinois Department of Health came out to do their annual inspection of the ambulance. They go through everything. Chief Meyer gave us an update on the Firefighters FEMA grant that we received in July. We replaced the air packs, cylinders and face masks. We replaced our 14-year old air packs in October. We also obtained a bunker gear dryer that mounts on the wall. The coats and boots that the firefighters put on carry a lot of carcinogens from being in the smoke. The bunker gear dryer can dry the bunker gear in two hours. We were also running short on fire hoses. They were over 25 years old. The chief bought 25 foot lengths of 2 1⁄2 inch hose. That is 50 feet of hose. In addition, he obtained heavy lifting bags. Additional masks were also purchased. In summary, the grant was for $161,000.00. The cost to the Village was $8,000.
Treasurer Kasnicka reminded us that there are no Easter holidays.
There being no further business, Trustee White moved, duly seconded by Trustee Savopoulos that the meeting be adjourned. Upon which the Board adopted the motion at 7:14 p.m.
