The Village of Mill Shoals held a brief March board meeting, with only a few
items on the agenda.
Clerk Tullis reported discussing online payment options with officials in
Enfield, and suggested reaching out to Wayne White Electric, which
already accepts water payments for some customers. Tullis agreed to
follow up with Enfield for more details.
The board also addressed ongoing issues with the village burn pile, where
lumber, nails, and screws have again been illegally dumped. The resulting
debris recently caused a $150 tire repair to the village’s backhoe. Trustee
French said he would research affordable camera systems to monitor the
site and deter future problems.
In other business, the board approved the Skillet Fork Ruritans’ request to
hold an Easter Egg hunt on the old grade school property on March 21st.
Due to plumbing issues, the former Community Center/school building will
remain closed, but portable restrooms will be provided at no cost to the
village.
The board also discussed the future of the former Community Center,
which is facing costly repairs and ongoing utility expenses. Trustees
unanimously agreed to invite the Village attorney to the April board meeting
to discuss possible legal steps regarding the building.
Looking ahead to summer, Clerk Tullis announced that WADI’s Summer
Work program will again be available this year, and encouraged interested
individuals to participate.
Finally, the board noted that garbage rates in Mill Shoals will increase by $1
starting April 1st.
