Hartland board approves utilities payment, assessor contract, well-reservoir work and mobile food-vendor fees
Summary
On routine business the Village of Hartland board approved contractor payment for the 2025 utilities program, authorized payments of vouchers, awarded contracts for well-reservoir maintenance, approved an assessor services agreement and adopted mobile food-vendor fees with a revised nonresident daily rate.
The Village of Hartland board approved a package of routine but budgeted items Monday, authorizing contractor payments, vendor agreements and a new fee schedule for mobile food vendors.
Key actions included approving payment No. 2 of $99,789.36 to Zignago Company Inc. for the 2025 utilities program and approving general vouchers for $194,011.34 (which included the Zignago payment). Staff said inspectors reviewed the work and recommended payment.
The board unanimously approved a four-year assessor-services agreement with Catalyst for 2026–2029 in the total amount of $224,400. The village revaluation cycle requires a full reappraisal every four years; staff said the agreement keeps the village’s assessment program current.
The board also awarded the service agreement for inspection, interior/exterior blasting and painting for the village’s Well No. 3 reservoirs to Utility Service Company Inc.; staff said the company currently holds the village’s tank-maintenance contract and is experienced with DNR-required inspections. Staff noted the village’s reservoirs historically produce little sediment and sludge, so expected cleanings are minor.
On planning and property matters, the board approved an extraterritorial certified survey map for the Rucklik property in the town of Merton; plan-commission review had recommended approval.
Trustees approved a resolution establishing mobile food-vendor fees (Resolution 7-14-2025) with one adjustment: the board set a higher daily permit rate for nonresident operators, increasing the nonresident daily fee to $100 while keeping resident daily fees at $75 and leaving special-event rates unchanged.
Board members also approved the payment motions and contracts by voice vote where recorded; a number of items were moved, seconded and approved without roll-call votes. In other business the board set information-session dates related to municipal building and public-safety space needs and later voted to pursue a resolution of necessity related to a long-vacant parcel at 550 Hartbrook Drive (that item was handled separately).
