Removing snow from hydrants is now an issue in village In Gays Mills
GAYS MILLS - The Gays Mills Village Board was a rather mundane affair last Monday night until the last item on the agenda–then it got contentious.
All it said on the agenda was ‘Snow Removal-Fire Hydrants.’ It was the topic that Gays Mills resident Bob Lomas had been waiting for.
“First of all, I came to receive my shovel,” Lomas said.
It was a reference to a comment made by Gays Mills Director of Public Works Jim Chellevold at the last board meeting.
Chellevold had contended that keeping the area around a fire hydrant shoveled was the responsibility of the property owner. He told the board then that he would deliver a snow shovel during the next snowstorm to the property owner who had taken issue with the idea that shoveling snow around a fire hydrant was the property owner’s responsibility.

A closely held secret about the intent of a group, called the Golden Warriors, to buy land in the Applewood Business Park and build a Dollar General was made public Monday at the Gays Mills Village Board meeting.
A representative of the group was present to answer questions about the design review of the building and a certified survey map. Both had been previously approved by the village’s plan commission. The proposed Dollar General store is to be located on a lot in the Applewood Business Park on Highway 131 and Royal Avenue.

Village clerk’s work is lauded Gays Mills
GAYS MILLS - During the Village of Gays Mills Public Hearing on the Budget Monday night, former village president Craig Anderson injected a moment of levity.
Anderson, the only village resident attending the hearing with the exception of the village trustees, asked if the figure of $153,021 was the entire village tax levy. Gays Mils Village Clerk Dawn McCann said it was, but noted there were other sources of revenue in the budget.
Acknowledging that fact, Anderson was still struck by what he considered the relatively low tax levy.
“I wonder what it’s like in the real world?” Anderson said.
