I have adjusted the long term sewer repair and upgrade plan for the older sections of our sewer system and put together a bid package that I sent off to three lining companies. I have been working on new goals and updating our CMOM document for the next two years. I also reviewed the updated sewer map that Baxter and Woodman provided us. Roads: I have the signs up on N. Honey Lake and the Stop sign on Spring St. and a few misc. signage tasks. I received the second quote for the ditch restoration on N. river Rd. I have contacted everyone in the road project with a letter. Payne and Dolan is having some issues with utilities on Mather St. so they are running behind. I have also notified the residents that live on the streets that are going to be chipped. I also removed a hanging tree limb on Oak Knoll. Parks: The parks are in pretty good shape. I have finished the landscaping around the Park Pavilion and am watering the new seeding. The picnic table frames arrived and I will be ordering the lumber this week and I have volunteers lined up to help with building them. I have also requested proposals for the landscape work around the Village Hall. I have also done some weeding in Pioneer Park. Animal Control: The Village had a couple of stray dog calls and some concerns about people not keeping their dos on a leash or properly contained. Stormwater: I reviewed the storm water charges from the Norway Dover Drainage District and gave my report to the board. Misc: Working on driveway permits. I am also reviewing new ROW permits. I have installed some new House # signs. I have reviewed the sidewalks west of the river and put a bid package together, and requested bids from contractors. Respectfully Submitted Christopher J.

Given your roles in the community, I wanted to give you an update on the Greater Racine County Talent Recruitment initiative and ask for your future participation as an Ambassador and feedback on materials we are currently finalizing. With the many changes happening in Racine County, we want to showcase Racine County to those looking to relocate to Southeast Wisconsin. Our goal is to provide relevant information to individuals and families looking to relocate to live and work in Racine County. Your feedback and involvement will ensure we are successful in the first phase of this initiative, which includes developing a new website and relocation packet which showcases Racine County. The next phase will include active marketing of Racine County and development of video to complement our efforts. As we work to complete development of the website, which we plan to launch in mid-September, we would appreciate your review and feedback on the following items: 1. Attached is a PDF of the draft Community Guide, which is intended to provide a high-level overview of what Racine County has to offer, and would be one part of relocation packet. 2. Here is a link to the draft website, where we hope you can take a few minutes to review and provide feedback. 3. Once complete, please take a moment to fill in this brief feedback form. If possible, we would like to secure feedback no later than Thursday, August 23. Your feedback will be incorporated in advance of the website going live in mid-September. I am happy to answer questions about this effort. Please let me know if it would be helpful to have a conversation about the initiative and information shared. Thank you in advance for your participation. Laura Million, Business Development Manager Right-click here to download pictures.
