CATLIN — Village board members agreed to have the basketball court at Catlin Park extended west towards the shelter so multiple games can be played concurrently.

Also, sidewalks will be constructed on the west side of the park extending from the disabled parking to the new swings that were recently installed. Both improvements are part of the master plan of improvements for the park.

The concrete work will be done by Wade Anderson Contracting of Catlin for $8,600.

In other business Tuesday, board members:

Approved an ice cream truck permit for Marion Carlock of Georgetown with the restriction that the truck would have to remain stationary at the IGA parking lot rather than rolling through the streets for fear of a child being involved in an accident.

Purchased a new storm water pump to replace an older one for $6,450. Also, a re-build kit for a sewer pump was purchased to keep on-hand for future service from Walter Danville Corp. of Danville at a cost not to exceed $2,000.

Approved to have the asphalt improved on the east side of Douglas Street in front of Robison Funeral Chapel and Bob Schifo Photography for better parking. The work will be done by Midwest Asphalt Company of Tilton for $6,440.

Approved to have Josh Keith Construction of Catlin remove brush and trees that were downed in a recent storm at Butler Branch Park at the end of Maple Leaf Drive at a cost not to exceed $1,600.

Are still actively pursuing a qualified candidate to fill the vacancy of village treasurer.

Will have surveys regarding the Danville Area Transportation Study on a bicycle plan for the whole area at the library and at village hall for residents to fill out. The forms should be completed by the end of August.

Heard a report from Woodard that he received word that the village will be receiving $40,000 they requested via the capital bill that was recently signed by the governor.

Woodard said the money is earmarked to be used at the park for ADA accessible playground equipment and filler.
