Strum Village Board holds May meeting
STRUM - The Strum Village Board held its May meeting on the 13th at the Village Civic Center.
The Board approved three construction permits: 1). A permit was submitted to build twin home on 3rd Ave S; A permit was submitted to build fence at 415 5th Ave S.; A permit was submitted to build deck and ramp out front of the house at 133 W. Hickory St. They tabled a permit submitted to widen the driveway to 28ft, which is beyond current ordinance. Discussion on this permit led to a proposal for a variance which will be on next month’s agenda.
The grant application for a new pickleball court funding fell through, leaving the project $10,000 short. The remaining ARPA has been obligated to other things.
The Ferguson Waterworks quote was presented to the board for the new meter reader and new software to read meters quarterly as the current software installed is no longer supported. This quote was in the amount of $10,904, which was approved unanimously by the Board.
In other agenda items, the 2023 CMAR Resolution was approved. The sale of the village dock was discussed. The board decided it was fair to post this item as a ‘sealed bid’ for at least 10 days. The Elm St. smear was discussed to patch up Elm St. It was made known it would be a 50 ton load at about $8,300 to have them come and do Elm. A motion was approved to go ahead with getting this set up for this year. They also approved the designation of Trempealeau County as the Village of Strum’s building inspector.
