Denton trustees adopt surplus‑property resolution, approve Allo franchise fee and set July 5 fireworks date
Summary
The Denton Village Board on Feb. 3 adopted a surplus‑property resolution to sell hay bales by sealed bid, approved a 5% franchise fee and contract with Allo Communications LLC, and set the 2025 fireworks show for July 5; trustees also approved claims and reviewed Keno and audit materials.
During its Feb. 3 meeting, the Denton Village Board approved several administrative actions including a surplus‑property resolution, a franchise agreement with Allo Communications LLC and the date for the annual fireworks show.
The board adopted Resolution 25‑2‑1 to offer surplus property for public sale; the meeting packet also included text labeled “RESOLUTION NO.25‑1‑1” describing the sealed‑bid sale of eight large round brome hay bales. The packet indicated the bales would be offered by sealed bid at the regular meeting and that the village reserves the right to reject any and all bids; the transcript recorded that the lone bid received was $35 while the minimum set in the packet was $65. Trustees carried the resolution to proceed with surplus property procedures.
On telecommunications, the board voted to approve a 5% franchise fee and to enter a contract with Allo Communications LLC. The transcript records the motion: approve the 5% franchise fee with Allo Communications LLC and enter into a contract with Allo Communications LLC, and the motion carried.
The board discussed the possibility of applying a Senator Fischer grant toward lagoon repair and expansion to strengthen a USDA funding application; village consultant Blackledge said shifting the grant from a drinking‑water project to wastewater work would benefit the package. The board also agreed to pursue an income survey with assistance from the NE Rural Water Association to support USDA funding efforts.
Trustees discussed the 2025 fireworks show budget (current budget $4,500; discussion about increasing to $5,500) and approved setting the annual fireworks show for July 5, 2025. The board approved Claims List A ($27,837.77), Claims List B ($8,158.25), January payroll ($9,386.73) and Keno checking claims ($17,157.50). The meeting adjourned at 10:04 p.m.
Minutes for the Jan. 6 meeting were approved at the opening of the Feb. 3 meeting.
