Trustees approve treasurer’s report and $908,124.83 in accounts payable; board clarifies union dues payroll treatment
Summary
The board approved the treasurer's report showing $47,000,892.97 in cash and investments and voted to approve $908,124.83 in accounts payable; trustees also clarified that Local 150 membership deductions shown on the bill list are employee-funded payroll deductions, not village-paid union dues.
Trustees approved the treasurer’s report for the period ending Nov. 30, 2024, showing $47,000,892.97 in cash and investments, and approved accounts payable for Feb. 15–27, 2025, totaling $908,124.83.
During review of the accounts payable list, Trustee Mason questioned two line items referencing Local 150 dues and asked whether the village was paying union dues directly. Village staff and the village attorney confirmed the entries reflect employee payroll deductions that the village forwards to the bargaining unit, not village-paid membership dues.
"That that is correct. That's exactly what's occurring. It's 100% employee funded," the clerk or staff confirmed during the meeting when asked to verify payroll deduction handling.
The treasurer's report motion passed on roll call with one recorded no vote. The accounts payable motion also passed following discussion and clarification.
Why it matters: routine financial approvals were completed and the meeting clarified how membership-dues deductions are processed through payroll, an item that drew public attention during the accounts-payable review.
Outcome: Treasurer's report approved; accounts payable approved; staff clarified payroll deduction and remittance process for union dues.
