Village approves minutes, vouchers and a slate of permits and licenses; summer events, vendors and veteran equipment purchases noted
Summary
The Village of Hartland board approved minutes, paid $584,123.69 in vouchers and granted a set of park and business-related permits and licenses at its meeting, including approvals for library and community events and a budgeted purchase of fire turnout gear.
The Village of Hartland board approved a package of routine administrative items and permits at its meeting, including the approval of two sets of minutes, payment of vouchers and several event and license requests.
The board approved minutes from the April 8, 2025 and April 28, 2025 meetings (the April 28 minutes were approved with one abstention). It approved vouchers for payment in the amount of $584,123.69.
The board granted the following event and vendor approvals on motions and voice votes: - Heartland Public Library: special-event permit for the summer reading program kickoff on June 6, 2025 (inflatables, characters, a food truck pending vendor permit review, free ice cream and community displays). - Wisconsin Athletic Club: special-event permit for "baby goat yoga" at Nixon Park on June 22, 2025; organizers said the event will include a fenced area, roughly 35 participants and a WAC instructor. - Heartland Lake Country Rotary: special-event permit and a park-food-vendor permit to serve free lunch at the splash-pad lunch on July 18, 2025; the board waived associated park fees for the Rotary event.
Licenses and individual approvals: - Bartender license for Janelle Ballantine (Christmas Pub) was approved. - Restricted-species (backyard chickens) permits were approved for Julie Perny at 1042 Wellington Way (four chickens) and James Sheffield at 604 Renton Road (six chickens); the building inspector reviewed both and reported site plans were acceptable.
Equipment and surplus actions approved: - The board approved the fire department's purchase of turnout gear that had been included in the 2025 budget (five sets including boots, hoods, gloves and helmets); staff reported the recommended vendor offered faster service turnaround and the quoted total was below the budgeted amount. - The board approved surplus and sale of obsolete portable key-safe boxes found in police storage; sale proceeds will be returned to the village.
Why this matters: the approvals clear permits for recurring community events and implement budgeted public-safety purchases. Trustee and staff comments show attention to ensuring permits include vendor coordination (for food trucks and DPW support) and that safety equipment purchases follow budgetary authorization.
