Board seeks quotes for immediate tree removal on nature path; directs research on dumping and engine braking ordinances
Under new business the board added an item for immediate tree removal along the village's nature path. Ken Vrazsity will call to obtain quotes and Jon Riley offered to meet contractors on-site; snow in the forecast may delay work for a few days.

Separately, the board asked members to research and bring sample language for an illegal dumping ordinance and an engine braking ordinance to the next meeting. No draft ordinances were adopted at the March 21 meeting; the board will review examples brought forward at a future session.

The actions are recorded as administrative direction and requests for follow-up rather than formal motions or ordinance adoptions at this meeting.
