Backhoe: The Water Department has the money available, in their loan fund, to purchase a new backhoe for approx. $78,000.00. In turn, Water would give their current hoe to DPW. DPW would sell their backhoe. MUB requests financials from Village Treasurer Connie Gagliardi, and tables motion. Any monies gained by DPW in selling their backhoe should go to the Water Department, to offset their purchase of a new backhoe.

WELLS - Reservoir # 3 : it is currently used sparingly. If it were to be used more, #3 would be an asset to the overall water department. Would water be softer if #3 were online? It is believed that its valves aren't working properly. How costly would the repairs be?
