Fire -
1. Bid went out for the new SCBA equipment on May 6th, 2014. Bids will be opened May 21, 2014. Ordinance at June meeting for contract.
2. Stroke Education Signs at street and on paramedic units.
3. Aluminum Caps from the fire hydrants are being replaced with a new type of cap. Chief Hauck indicated that they would like to melt down the old caps and have fire marks cast and sold to raise funds for fire public education fund. They would be sold for $50 each.
4. Lightning Detection for the village grounds has been reviewed. Three options were presented to the committee. The system that would give us the best protection for our residents and guests would be about $7000. The Thor Guardian Deluxe would give 700 yards notification in all directions. It provides an all clear alert and a secondary horn can be added if needed. The system can be turned off during non-needed hours to prevent alerts during hours when the facilities are not being utilized.
Chief Hauck will check with the Solicitor and our Insurance company as to liability of having, or not having the system. The committee is recommending to move forward with the purchase, providing concerns of liability are not presented.
Police -
1. 42 people have returned applications for police officer. May 16th is the deadline for applications.
2. Cameras added in the traffic project have been beneficial in recent investigations. We can bring in 4 more cameras, but will need computer and monitor upgrades costing an additional $1000 - $1500.
Recreation -
1. Funds are needed to provide for repairs for the awning at the pool that suffered a great deal of damage this winter. Also, for changing the pool lights to LED. Mr. Nichols stated that he would like to use the funds in the budget for the water feature in the baby pool for these maintenance items and has requested that the funds be transferred.
2. Two new Part- time and one Seasonal employee have been requested.
Nancy Ashley - Bldgs & Grounds Sup I - $11.21/hr

Michael Mees - Seasonal Concession Manager $12.30/hr
3. A Overall support resolution of the "We Thrive" program will be on our agenda. This resolution will allow for prospective funding in the future.
Other -
1. This committee recommends the evaluation of placement of a new V-shaped Electronic sign at the corner of Reading and Glendale Milford Road, with panels facing South and West. This would allow for visibility in all directions at the light and would be a single location as opposed to putting them at both entrances.
2. This committee would like to thank those involved in the recent Shred Day. The event was open for three hours and 12,000 lbs were processed. Special thanks to Kathy Kincaid, Pam Morin, Sean McKinney, Ralph Pommering, Steve K, and Lynne Thole.
