Wilcox to go live with new utility billing system; clerk sets first meter read for April 23
Summary
At the March 11 meeting the Wilcox Board heard operational updates: the village will switch to a new utility billing system on April 2 and perform the first meter reading with Tantalus meters and gWorks UBHUB on April 23; trustees also retained the 7:30 p.m. meeting time and canceled town clean-up day.
Clerk Meinda Ferree told the Village of Wilcox Board of Trustees on March 11 that the village will go live with a new utility billing system on April 2, 2025. The transition is described in the minutes as a 24-hour process; the first meter reading under the new setup is scheduled for April 23, 2025 using Tantalus meters with gWorks UBHUB.
The board discussed routine operational items during the meeting. Trustees voted to retain their monthly meeting start time at 7:30 p.m. year-round rather than switching to an 8:00 p.m. start for part of the year; Trustee Adam moved the measure with a second from Trustee Norman and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes also note that Wilcox will not hold a town-wide clean up day this year and that Trustee Nash mentioned the need to repair the street by the school; no vote or timeline for the street repair was recorded in the minutes.
The minutes and clerk’s report provide the go-live and first meter-reading dates but do not include additional implementation details, costs, or vendor contracts for the billing system. Follow-up items noted in the minutes include advertising proposals for the West Addition lots that Trustee Adam will research for the April meeting.
The next steps logged in the minutes are the April 2 transition to the new billing system and the April 23 first meter reading. A court date related to a nuisance property at 305 E. Franklin is scheduled for April 3, 2025.
