Due to the health hazard of Coronavirus and based upon advisory updates from the League of Municipalities; until further notice, the Village of Pepin must postpone committee and other meetings that are open to the public. The Village is unable to allow more than 10 people in the Village Municipality Building. In addition, the Village does not have the capability to allow the public to join meetings from remote areas via telephone, internet or any other system. There is no requirement that committee meetings be held in the Village Municipal Building. However please note the use of other space must be accessible for handicap plus a need to allow remote access from both public and committee members. Currently, the Village of Pepin is not declaring an Emergency, but we need to be proactive. Kindly remember many of our residents are elderly and highly susceptible to the virus. The Village is taking this step to help protect the public and employees. The Village will remain open, but we ask your awareness and not visit if sick.

With the weather getting warmer, if you go for a walk, plan ahead. Public Restrooms in the Park and at the Sportsman dock are closed. Sorry fisherman, the fish cleaning station is also closed. The Park can be used for walking, but not as a family outing using benches and grills. The playground is to be avoided. Kids playing will attract more kids and this virus does attack kids. Be careful, keep 6 ft. distance if you see fellow walkers.

The Village Board will meet Monday, April 13 at 7pm. The Village will be using Zoom; this is the same system the school and churches use.

Finally, EMT’s, Pepin Fire Department and Chief Van Alstine are on call when needed. Frustration with staying at home will grow, but the virus death total continues to climb. The virus is looking for you to be a host. Don’t let it in; Stay Safer at Home.
