More catalytic converter thefts in the precinct especially with businesses that have                 several company vehicles.

         Car thefts high this time of year due to warming up cars because of the cold.

Village has the approval to purchase the Stalker radar equipment.  When delivered,              Dan would like to have a press conference for all to see what the Village of Wilbur                  Park is doing for County Police.  No other municipality in the St. Louis area has done            anything like this for the police department.

Dan did look into the reports of the two gentlemen from Weber Road confronting                  people in the area.  In order to take any action, a someone would have to file charges.

4.  Treasurer’s Report for December 2020 presented by JC Wheeler

Total Income $15,992.98
Total Expense $6,537.80
Net Income $9,455.18

          December 2020 Profit & Loss Statement presented.  Balance Sheet as of December              31, 2020.  

The checking account balance at Busey is a bit high.

Wilbur Park now has four CD’s at $60,000 each with JP Morgan Chase and one CD              at BMO Harris at $100,000.

          Trying to find a financial institution where interest rate would be higher.

          Once the Stalker radar equipment is ordered and delivered, Wilbur Park will look                  into additional equipment, i.e., license plate reader.  This is coming from the Prop P              money.

         Sewer Lateral report shows property tax money, collected and uncollected.  The                     uncollected should trickle in during January and February.

        Wilbur Park has $1,683.00 in the bank for sewer lateral and an additional $9,711.54            with St. Louis County.

         Some other municipalities don’t use St. Louis County for their sewer lateral repairs               and put a cap on the amount of reimbursement on repairs.  Not sure if Wilbur Park               wants to do that.  Some residents of Wilbur Park are opting to repair and pay for                   themselves in order to put house on the market quicker.

The 1099’s for the Wilbur Park trustees have been mailed.

         Heidi needs more information on Wilbur Park vendors and who needs a 1099 for                   current taxes.

         After tax season is over, Wilbur Park will need an audit before the financial report is             due for the State of Missouri at the end of June 2021.

All trustees accepted the Financial report.

5.  Road & Building Commissioner’s Report presented by Mike Edwards.

          Only a couple of occupancy permit inspections this month.

         The window replacement of 9039 Kathleen did not happen.  This has been an                         ongoing issue.  Officer Dan is going to assist Mike in obtaining access to the                             premises.  Need to have access to inspect and get contractors in to make repairs.                   Wilbur Park will be assessing fines for these issues.  If fines are not paid, a lien will                be put on the property.

          So far, the winter/snow season has been light so the General Maintenance on Roads            will be assessed after snow season.

           Fence between Wilbur Park and Dominos is down again.  9024 Kathleen has sold.

           There will be some MSD construction in the near future.  We need to take pictures                to make sure properties are restored to pre-construction condition.  Also need to                  look into easement rights and rights of property owners.

6  Waste Management Report presented by Heidi Warren.

          Green bins are in low supply.  The current bins have lasted several years.  Time to                  purchase more.

7. Village Clerk Report presented by Donna Gravatt.

            April 2021 Candidacy Filing has closed as of 5 pm today.  Only the current trustees                filed for candidacy.  No formal election will be needed.  I will finalize the paperwork              needed for the Board of Election Commissioners.  

8.   Chairman’s Report presented by Neal Vohsen.

Neal accepted first round of Cares Act money, but declined the second round as                      Wilbur Park would not have enough expenses to qualify.

9.  New Business

             None

10. Motion to adjourn made by Neal and JC seconded.  Meeting adjourned at 8:29.
