A
NOTE FROM THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT
The spring of 2006 has been ushered in with unusually warm
temperatures even though this last winter was generally mild.
The seasonal transition is always welcome with nature’s
change to green another life cycle begins.
This summer the Village will witness two major municipal projects.
The long awaited sewer plant upgrade will be completed along
with a street project consisting of all the streets in the
Mobile Home Park.
The wastewater treatment plant is progressing on schedule
with the completion date of August 25, 2006. Certainly everyone
has noticed all the activity taking place at the plant. Please
feel free to contact me with questions concerning the progress
of the plant upgrade.
The Mobile Home street project will begin after the Roberts
Community Garage Sales, approximately June 20. It has been
questioned why we are doing such a large project all in one
year. Believe it or not the total project cost was about $400,000
less when done all at once compared to two years. It is the
intention to now not do a street project in 2007. I am sure
that there will be a lot of inconvenience but the finished
results should be well worth it.
Commercial growth continues to take place. The businesses
that have come to Roberts certainly are an asset to the community.
The Commercial needs that Roberts has are steadily being satisfied.
I would like to thank Lana Delsart and Matt Delander for their
years of service to the Roberts Village Board. Along with
this goes a congratulatory message to Terry Dull and Nate
Stork for their election victories to the Board. I am looking
forward to working with the entire Village Board in the coming
year.
If I can be of any assistance, please contact me at 749-3126
or come to my office at the Village Hall.
Sincerely,
Willard Moeri |

Smoke
Detectors
When you set your clock ahead, did you remember to change
the batteries in your smoke detectors?
Jeff Vogt – Fire Chief
Spring Clean-up Day
April 22, 2006 – 7:00 AM-1:00 PM
Spring cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, April 22, 2006 at
Onyx, 100 Packer Drive, Roberts. Permits are required. The
permit will have a charge of $10.00. There will be a charge
for appliances – white goods (i.e. Refrigerators, freezers,
washers, dryers, etc. Please see the enclosed list for amounts.
You can obtain a permit at the Roberts Village Hall –
107 E. Maple Street between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM. This is only
for Village of Roberts residents. Any questions, please call
749-3126.
Park Building
Are you planning a graduation, wedding, special event or just
a party? Check out the Village Park Building. A serving area
has been added for your convenience. If interested call the
Village Clerk at 749-3126.
Burning Within the
Village Limits
Burning is not allowed in the Village unless you have a burning
permit. Permits are issued by the Village Clerk.
Call the Fire Chief at 749-3425 to have your burning site
approved. If the site is approved, he will notify the Clerk
and then she will issue the permit. If you have questions,

Water/Sewer
Billing
The Village has considered monthly water/sewer billing. At
this time, monthly billing is not cost effective. Therefore,
we are offering for the Village residents to pay monthly on
their own.
An example would be if you have a $180.00 water/sewer bill
due by April 26th, you would pay that bill in full. In May
and June, you would pay $60.00 per month and have July as
the clean up month.
If you have any questions, please contact the Village Clerk’s
Office.
Senior Center
The Roberts Senior Dining Site is open two days a week. Meals
are served on Monday and Wednesday. The Senior Center has
many activities planned. Contact Julie at 749-3755 for more
information.
Severe Weather Siren
In the past few months, we have been experiencing problems
with the siren test on the first Wednesday of the month. This
has been repaired.
The first Wednesday of the month there is a test of the severe
weather siren at 11:00 AM. Sometimes, the county dispatch
is busy and it may be close to 11:00 AM. The purpose of the
test is to make sure the siren is working. This siren would
be the same siren for severe weather.
Street Lights
If you notice a street light that is blinking or completely
out, please contact the Village Hall. The Village Clerk will
report the street light to Xcel Energy and get it fixed.
Municipal Court Dates
The Municipal Court is up and running. If you are curious
how it is run, you are more than welcome to attend. The Court
is open to the public and starts at 6:00 PM. Dates are:
May 25
June 22
July 27
August 24
September 28
October 26
