Cemetery deadline approaching

NEW LONDON — Utilities Foreman Brian Cucco told New London village council Monday that the village's new garbage truck should be delivered in June at a cost of $265,611. Council approved his request to purchase a used cardboard baler for not over $3,500 to replace the baler that is 40 years old. Cucco also asked residents with a village cart to keep the lid on when stored outside. He said April 1 is the deadline for removing winter items from Grove Street Cemetery. Council approved changes in cemetery fees and hiringsummer help. Council agreed to an ordinance setting park fees for the year, as well as one to use Aspen Energy Corporation as the broker for the village's gas aggregation program. The first reading of a resolution to hire an architectural firm to draw plans for a new office at the Reservoir Park was tabled for the second meeting in a row. Questions are still unanswered about funding. Spring Cleanup is 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 19 and 25 and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 20–24. Regulations can be found online. Breakfast with the Easter Bunny is 9 to 11 a.m., Sunday, March 29 at the Recreation Park.
