The current balance sheet, as of September 30, 2022, has been updated.
Sewer Lateral account has an estimated balance of $6,304.96.
There was a question as to how many houses in Wilbur Park have fixed their sewer lateral lines. The fixes are usually good for 40 years. JC thinks that over 50% have been fixed. Should have the year-end Sewer Lateral fund rolling in from December 2022 to February 2023.
Bob said we can’t use the Escrow Account because St. Louis County did not approve the new Wilbur Park Sewer Lateral Ordinance. Wilbur Park’s Sewer Lateral program needs to mimic St. Louis County’s.

10. Village Clerk Report presented by Donna Gravatt.
Nothing to report
11. Chairman’s Report presented by Neal Vohsen.
Municipal League wants a report stating number of vacant properties. They are forming a land bank. Wilbur Park has no vacant buildings.
Neal was approached by a resident yelling that the water between two driveway aprons was not flowing correctly and said Wilbur Park has a responsibility to prevent residents from flooding. He apparently had water flowing down driveway and into yard.
Bob said that resident would have a hard time proving that water was being redirected by putting aprons on a couple of resident’s driveways to prevent cars scraping. Bob suggested that Wilbur Park find out what that resident wants and see if he had any solutions.
Neal was not happy how that resident handled informing him of the possible problem. The board is not on call 24-7 and if there is an issue, the resident needs to attend a monthly meeting.
12. New Business
The law firm Lewis Rice contacted a couple of board members looking for ordinances on the website. Bob said someone was looking at making a residence into a Group Home. The ordinances will be uploaded to the website by the WebMaster.
13. Motion to adjourn made by Neal with a second by JC. Meeting adjourned at 7:53.
