After having discussed the matter over the previous few meetings, the Innsbrook Board of Trustees unanimously approved the hiring of Freedom Security to provide security systems for the village during their April 19 meeting.

Representatives from Freedom had originally made a presentation during the board’s Feb. 19 meeting along with representatives from Tech Electronics. The proposals called for installing cameras at the village hall as well as security software for the camera system. Both companies provide a cloud-based option, which would allow for a longer storage time for video footage.

During the board’s March 19 meeting, the trustees discussed moving forward with a proposal and requested that Freedom provide a contract for the trustees to approve.

During the April 19 meeting the trustees approved a contract with Freedom in the amount of $6,349.18, which would include installation of the equipment. The agreement also includes a monthly charge of $58.99 for monitoring services. The board also discussed an on-call list to include village clerks and board members in case the system produced a false alarm.

The board also approved by a unanimous 5-0 vote a landscaping proposal from Pezz Lawncare and Landscaping in the amount of $2,432.80 for landscaping work on the island in front of the village hall. Pezz was already the company contracted with the village for mowing around the facility.

The board also spent some time discussing issues with the village’s current maps.

Village attorney Bradley Pryor said that in reviewing the village's maps he noticed some items that needed to be corrected. One item he noted was that the base maps have what he calls “phantom roadways” or roads that do not actually exist. He said it would be appropriate to use a correct base map to remove the nonexistent roadways. He told the board that this was an administrative action that could be completed by the city clerk in drawing up the new maps without specific board approval.

One of the other issues were the designations under the future land use map, which is part of the village’s comprehensive plan. Pryor said that it was his understanding that there are certain future land use designations that were not originally intended by the village’s planning and zoning commission. He said the first step would be to review meeting minutes from past planning and zoning meetings to determine what the original intent was. If there are not clear minutes outlining the original intent, Pryor suggested that the planning and zoning commission would have to do a more formal revision process to amend the future land use designations for certain parcels in the village.

During the meeting the board also unanimously approved certification of the April 7 election results and trustees Donna West and Virgal Woolfolk were formally sworn in to their positions during a ceremony at the meeting.
