Village of Hartland: Board approves bonds, permits and development items; several routine votes carried
Summary
At a regular Village of Hartland board meeting, trustees approved a series of routine actions including minutes and voucher payments, authorized the sale of $5,005,000 in general obligation promissory notes for capital projects, and approved development- and event-related permits. Several items passed without recorded roll-call tallies.
The Village of Hartland Village Board approved a number of routine and substantive items during its meeting, including the sale of general-obligation notes to finance capital projects and several local permit and development requests.
The board approved the minutes from the Oct. 13 meeting; the motion carried with one abstention. Trustees then approved vouchers for payment totaling $61,668.95. The board also approved a special event permit for Birch & Banyan Coffee’s “Mindful Me” mental health resource fair scheduled for May 16, 2026, and accepted the public infrastructure improvements for the West Rock apartment building. A plan review and approval for an addition at Telon (Telon Products) at 1110 Richards Road also carried.
In the meeting’s largest financial action, the board voted to approve Resolution No. 10272025, authorizing the issuance and sale of $5,005,000 in general obligation promissory notes, series 2025A, to finance the village’s capital improvements. Greg (Ehlers), who presented the sale report, said the sale drew eight bids and produced a true interest cost of 3.5625 percent; the net principal and interest over 20 years is $632,304 less than the estimate presented last month. Moody’s affirmed the village’s AA2 rating, the presentation said. The board approved the resolution by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the public transcript.

The board noted that a public hearing on the 2026 proposed budget (general fund, water and sewer utility funds, debt service and other funds) opened and closed with no public speakers. The board reminded the public that the next formal action on the budget will include roll-call votes on individual budget line items at the Nov. 10 meeting.
The board clerk and staff were directed to proceed with the actions authorized by the votes and to return any required follow-up items at future meetings.
