III. PUBLIC COMMENT - (please limit your comments to three minutes)
Resident Mike O’Reilly spoke for the three men from Bradford Park Homeowner’s Association. They provided a handout regarding Munger Road and the Board’s consideration to allow it to deteriorate to a gravel road, as was noted in a Wayne Examiner article and the Long-Range Plan Minutes. The three men encouraged the Board to include Munger Road in road repairs. President Phipps stated the Village has a cycle for roads. Due to budget cuts, the Village cycled Munger Road from twelve years to 18–20 years. Public Works keeps up with potholes, patching, striping, snow plowing and general maintenance of Munger Road. Mr. McHugh asked Chief Naydenoff if he has considered using Community Service Officers in an effort to reduce costs; Chief replied no, all officers must be qualified to handle whatever may arise. Trustee Connolly said the comment was made regarding Munger Road but no action was taken. Treasurer Levine noted part of the road belongs to the Village and part belongs to Wayne Township.
