Votes and procedure notes
Motion makers and seconders are recorded in the meeting minutes for each action above. In most cases motions passed by voice vote; the sewer utility truck purchase was decided by roll-call and failed. When roll-call names or detailed tallies were not explicitly read into the transcript, the meeting minutes used voice vote or a general “motion carries” statement.
Ending note: The board approved the bulk of contractor pay requests, change orders and project bids necessary to advance the village’s capital projects for 2025. Several items were tied to Board of Public Works or Budget & Finance committee recommendations.
