Alvo trustees amend street-improvement allocation, approve bank change and payments; several permits tabled
Summary
At its April 14 meeting the Village of Alvo Board of Trustees approved payroll and vendor payments, amended an Omni street-improvement allocation, approved a conditional-use application and a new bank provider (one trustee abstained), and tabled requests from Nebraska Diggings, Greenlight and Kinetic by Windstream for more information.
The Village of Alvo Board of Trustees met on April 14, 2026, at Alvo Hall and handled routine municipal business, approving payroll and vendor claims, amending a previously allocated street-improvement sum and recording multiple fund transfers; the board tabling three service/vendor requests for further information.
The board approved the meeting agenda and the March 3, 2026 minutes. Trustees then approved a conditional-use application from Kelly Brown for 101 Main Street by unanimous vote. The board also considered Greenlight’s request for Nebraska Generator Service to review an estimated generator cost of $560 and tabled the item pending more information from Greenlight.
Trustees voted to amend Omni’s allocation for street improvements, reducing the originally recorded amount of $260,000.00 to $211,978.00. The motion passed unanimously. The board also recorded receipt of a letter from Karen Morgan regarding consideration for one of two vacant trustee seats; the minutes note the letter was received and a motion was recorded but do not state a final appointment.
On a separate vote the board approved a proposed new bank provider. Chair Chris Juilfs moved and Trustee Larry Langer seconded; Trustee Dave Morgan abstained. The motion carried 2–0 with one abstention.
The board approved payment of claims, wages and taxes and accepted the treasurer’s report. The minutes list specific vendor payments and transfers, including two emergency water repair invoices to S & L Trenching LLC for $16,750.00 and $6,725.00 (two incidents at 1st & Russell Street), transfers of $10,000.00 from the sewer/water account to the general fund (April 6, 2026) and $6,202.56 from the CDBG roads account (April 8, 2026). The minutes record a total of $31,533.56 in approved disbursements as presented.
Kinetic by Windstream’s permit request (#48873) for fiber-optic installation was deferred because company representatives were not present; Kinetic is scheduled to appear at the board’s May 5, 2026 meeting. Likewise, Nebraska Diggings’ request to place rock on Harison Street and Railway Avenue (offered to be spread at no cost if the village supplies material) was tabled while the board seeks a cheaper solution.
The board was informed that recent water testing showed no coliform or E. coli detected, and Trustee Larry Langer reported that the fire department has activated its tones. The meeting adjourned at 8:08 p.m. The minutes were certified by Clerk/Treasurer Katherine Childers and trainer Cathina Schueth; a complete set of minutes will be available at the Village office and on alvo.gov after approval.
Next steps: Kinetic by Windstream is scheduled to attend the May 5, 2026 meeting; the board will revisit the Nebraska Diggings and Greenlight items after staff follow-up.
