Board approves financial reports, building permits and a water-damage settlement; 2025 budget proposed at $2.44 million
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2024-16 (transfer of funds), accepted the financial report and monthly claims (subject to audit), approved several building applications, and authorized a $11,500 settlement plus a $250 credit for a water-damage claim; the proposed 2025 general fund budget total is $2,444,715.
At the Sept. 17 meeting, Director of Finance Brittany Bay presented the district’s fund report and several motions tied to the 2024 fiscal status.
Bay told the board the current cash balance is $3,797,240.05, monthly claims totaled $507,403.44, and the unexpended remaining balance for 2024 was $812,589.77 (38.97%). The board unanimously approved Resolution 2024-16 (transfer of funds within the budget), accepted the financial report subject to audit, and approved the monthly claims subject to audit.
The board approved building applications 24-071, 24-072 and 24-064 contingent on owners obtaining Brown County permits and meeting Building Commission conditions. Director of Operations Nick Johann briefed the board on operational matters discussed by the commissions.
Aaron Parris moved, and Pat Sherman seconded, a motion to settle a water-damage claim for address 7264 Cordry (owner listed in the record as Liz Ann Whiteside): the board approved an $11,500 payment for repairs and a $250 credit on the water account contingent on the owner signing a release prepared by the district attorney. The motion passed unanimously.
