Board reviews photos of 2954 Main Street progress; presenter absent, trustees seek timeline

The East Troy Village Board discussed progress at 2954 Main Street after staff provided photographs of ongoing work; the project's presenter, Victor Stanford, was not in attendance.

Trustees noted the work appears professionally carried out but asked whether the removed exterior brick would be preserved for reinstallation. A trustee recalled that staff previously indicated the brick was intended to be saved for reuse; staff said photos showed extensive deterioration beneath exterior finishes that required removal to complete structural repairs and mechanical work.

Board members asked staff to obtain an updated timeline from the project representative now that interior work and mechanical systems are being installed, and they agreed that quarterly updates remain an appropriate schedule if the project extends beyond the one‑year window previously discussed. One trustee observed that holding the presenter to the original timeline may be difficult given the unexpected additional work revealed after the building was opened up.

Because the board needed to discuss a development item not on the published agenda, trustees scheduled a special meeting that will convene via Microsoft Teams at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday (posted publicly) to go into closed session on that topic. The meeting record does not specify the development that will be discussed in closed session.

Victor Stanford, the absent presenter identified in the agenda, did not provide verbal updates during the meeting; staff confirmed photographs had been submitted to the board earlier in the day.
