On June 15 the village board borrowed $7.22 million for capital projects for the remainder of this year. Included in the borrowing are $400,000 for a new fire truck, $650,000 for street repair and improvements, $20,000 for public works equipment and $6 million for the construction of a new municipal services facility for public works and police. The balance of the loan is for other financing costs.

The municipal services facility Phase I is being designed primarily to house public works and police operations in the village. The site is centrally located to provide efficient and effective delivery of services to the community. At least three building are included in the project planning. They include the vehicle cold storage building a salt and sand shed and the police and public works offices and shop.

The board is also planning for the Phase II future relocation of the municipal court, board room and municipal offices. The building is being spurred by the growth that the village has experienced in the past ten years. In 2006 the village engaged the services of SEH, Inc. an architectural firm that specializes in facility master planning, to study the short and long term needs of the village and make recommendations based on best practices for the construction of the new site. A copy of the study can be found on the web page under the planning department tab in two parts.
