Dear Neighbors,
 

• We are in the beginning stages of analyzing the Village roadways needing repair and improvements. In our road abatement program we  expend the monies received from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund distributed to the Village from the State of Illinois.  Once we have finalized the roadways to be completed this spring/summer we will inform the residents affected by road construction.
• We are starting the plans for Lakemoorfest 1999.  The dates are August 7th and 8th. We are asking all the residents to take a few minutes to complete the enclosed survey on Lakemoorfest.  This event is for the residents and  we would like your comments or suggestions.  Please drop them off at the Village Hall or include them with the monthly sewer/garbage payment.  We need them to be returned to the Village Hall by April 25th, for analysis.  Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.
• I am always willing to listen to any residents’ concerns. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at the Village Hall.
