• The village will have a public-survey meeting from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, when community members can express ideas on how to develop Glenwood Park. The meeting will be at the Kendall Community Hall. A chili feed and raffle fundraiser for the park also will be part of the event.
• During his report, Public Works Director David Gruen noted that the village had a water main break on N. Railroad Street on Nov. 25.
Also, volunteers recently had insulated and partially remodeled the Glenwood Park shelters, according to Gruen. “It looks good, and I think it’s really helping,” he said.

Gruen said a similar incident had never happened before.
• The scaffolding is up for the new wellhouse at municipal well No. 2. Also, temporary power and water service are installed, though some backfilling still needs to be done. Difficulty in obtaining specialty parts for the project continues to be a problem.
