The Village of Wallace Board of Trustees approved a package of routine and regulatory measures at its Aug. 12 meeting, including a water-rate increase, adoption of a revised ordinance and an interlocal police service agreement.
Chairperson Gary Hager called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and the board first handled routine business: the agenda and minutes from July 15, 2024 were approved by unanimous consent and the budget/financial report was placed on file. The board approved vendor claims and payroll as listed.
