Trustee Strusz mentioned that he is still concerned about the watering ban and that he has seen residents that continue to water after 9:00 p.m. on the weekends.

Herwig mentioned that a lot of work is being done on Candlewick Court and that the workers are driving very fast in the area. Herwig said that many areas should be barricaded with flashing lights. Herwig said that there are easily 27 OSHA violations and he is concerned about liability to the Village and safety to residents.
