COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
Sylvia Rickett of 147 Union Street requested that the Village provide a backflow valve and basement floor sanitizing due to the recent sewer backup. Also asked that council consider each case individually rather than go with protocol that it is not the Villages responsibility.
Danny Wood responded that the problem with this house is that the sewer lines in the basement are very near to the same level of the sewer lines in the street and typically a backflow preventer would have been installed at construction.
After discussion Council recommended that she contact the Health Department for possible assistance.
Wayne Cole addressed Council about the need for him to have a solicitor’s permit to sell produce in the Village. He stated this will be his tenth year selling produce and has never been required to have a permit.
Mayor Peyton responded that the Village ordinance states that produce purchased and then brought into the Village to be resold requires a permit. Produce that is personally grown and sold does not require a permit.
