Richland council adopts routine minutes, approves disbursements and posts event reminders; schedules solar-panel meeting
Summary
The Village of Richland approved agenda and minutes, authorized bills payable, noted ongoing ordinance review and sign estimates, and highlighted community items including a Solar Panel Farm meeting on March 25, 2026 and scheduled pickups for April and May.
At its March 9, 2026 regular meeting the Village of Richland Council approved routine housekeeping items including the March agenda, the February 9 regular and budget meeting minutes, and payment of the cash disbursement journal for Feb. 9, 2026.
Trustee Jason Mechenbier moved and Trustee Kim Lewis seconded approval of the agenda. Trustees approved both sets of minutes on separate motions (votes recorded as "Motion Carried" in the minutes). Trustee Jason Mechenbier moved and Trustee Kim Lewis seconded to authorize payment of bills; that motion also carried.
In old business Trustee Kim Lewis reported the council is still awaiting estimates for a new municipal sign and will follow up with the sign business in person. The council also noted that the village attorney is conducting a comprehensive ordinance review; no appointment was made but the zoning/ordinance committee has an open seat to be filled at the April meeting.
Committee reports were brief. Clerk Mollie Fish was noted as handling email correspondence to Trustee Mechenbier on buildings & tree matters. Public service reported leaf pickup is in progress. The publications committee solicited ideas for a spring newsletter and set a stick pickup for April 20, 2026 and a large-item pickup for May 9, 2026. The minutes also record a KABA meeting held March 17, 2026.
