New Business:

Willie Castro addressed  the board about the Preserve America grant.  He would like to see a copy of the grant.  What is the time frame for completion.  He was told  April 2013.  When will we find out when we get the monies?  It needs to be approved by the Nebraska State Historical Preservation Committee.  Castro would like to read the meeting minutes where the grant was discussed.  The village will not erect new signage until the funds come in.  Castro wanted to know about the existing signage at the edge of town.  Could it be repaired and repainted?  Hayes stated that the Department of Roads has told the village those signs are not in compliance with their rules.  Castro wanted to know what the proposed signs will look like.  He was told that a committee was set-up to work on this and the plans are at the village clerk’s office.  He wanted to know if the side of the last building in Outfitters Row could be used as a billboard.  Again this was not in compliance with the Dept. of Roads rules.  The Railroad Depot grounds can be used for signage.
