REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 28, 2025 10 Director of Public Works Horvath noted that they are just getting the license plate and not shooting inside the vehicle. Attorney Schmidt advised that he does anticipate that the red-light law will change though in the next couple years, so certainly seeing it use another municipalities and jurisdictions for speeding. Mr. Miller noted that they have just started using them in work zones. AGREEMENTS/CONTRACTS/PROPOSALS/ADDENDA Attorney Schmidt advised the board about the two water main breaks for items 10. D, and 10 E.: Ratify Emergency Contract with Premium Concrete Services. When there's a water main collapse. Sometimes these come through as emergency orders, but on these two we were able to address the water main collapse on our own with our own team, but the unique nature of the roads being brick, we could not do that work ourselves, so there had to be a second company hired to come in and patch this up. That's why you're seeing just this part of the emergency ratification coming through the board for that particular work so. Mr. Gilot advised that water mains typically burst, they don’t collapse and sewers collapse. Attorney Schmidt advised that that’s probably on the lawyer.
