CORRESPONDENCE

The Board received a letter from Frank Shipski, 508 Palmer Ave, requesting reimbursement for water damage to his vehicle he believes was caused by a Village drain near his property.  Mr. Shipski claims the drain was not properly maintained causing water to back up into his property.  Supt Lozier stated there was no report the drain was ever plugged & it is properly maintained by the Village.  The Board agreed with advice from Atty Buettner that there was no liability to the Village.  Mayor Pasquarell will contact Mr. Shipski & Atty Buettner will follow up with a letter.
