New Washington Village Council approved moving their next meeting back by two days in order to hear complaints from the public during the council’s meeting Monday night.
The meeting which was originally scheduled for Aug. 26 will now be held at 7 p.m. on Aug. 28 in order to hear concerns over noise from a citizen’s birds, as well as the recent tar and chip process that was done to Jeffery Drive.
During the meeting Village Administrator Norm Lucious spoke of the Jeffery Drive situation.
“The Street Department raked the loose stones in the grass, swept the stone that was in the drive.”
Lucious continued by explaining that the residents need to give the tar time to rise up for the surface in the road to smooth out.
New Washington’s Village Council also approved to pay police officers their normal hourly pay for working at festivals Monday night.
During the village tax report Pat Krebs announced that New Washington has received $235,874.44 in tax receipts which is $7,400 more than last year. Krebs pointed out that realistically the village is only $1,100 ahead due to a business paying a late filing.
