Salem Lakes board actions: event dates, audit contract and interim treasurer among items approved
Summary
During the meeting the Village Board approved event dates for Silver Lake Happenings, a contract for annual audit services, appointed an interim treasurer, approved minutes, and directed staff on several property matters after closed session. Several items required follow‑up budget adjustments or legal review.
The Village of Salem Lakes board on March 10 took a series of routine and administrative actions alongside longer‑form agenda items.
Silver Lake Happenings dates approved: The board authorized three event dates proposed by Silver Lake Happenings (car show May 18, 2025 at Schmalfelt Park; Fall Fest Sept. 21, 2025; and Silver Bells Festival of Lights parade Dec. 12, 2025). The board approved the dates and times as presented.
Audit contract: The board approved a contract with CLA to provide the village’s annual audit services for an amount between $25,050 and $26,000 for the 2025 engagement; staff noted the 2024 audit work was in progress and recommended continuing the current firm while planning an RFP next year. Trustees asked staff to return with a budget amendment to reconcile the contract with category‑based budgeting lines.
Interim treasurer: The board appointed Sarah Spencer as interim treasurer effective immediately until April 1, 2025; the motion specified there would be no compensation increase for the interim assignment.
Minutes and routine approvals: The board approved the Feb. 24, 2025 meeting minutes and other routine agenda items.
Closed session/property matters: The board met in closed session under Wisconsin Statutes Section 19.85(1) to deliberate on purchase/investment of public properties (specific parcel identifiers cited on the record). The board reconvened to open session and directed staff to proceed as discussed in closed session; staff was authorized to take the actions the board discussed in closed session (no further specifics were reported in open session beyond the direction to proceed).
Ending: Several approvals will require follow‑up paperwork: a budget amendment to reconcile the audit contract, and continued staff coordination on property matters discussed in closed session.
