Summary
Council approved May financials showing $49,038.34 in expenses and a $166,721.36 bank balance; members discussed a burned lift-station grinder pump and control panel and noted potential insurance coverage depending on cause.
The Rushford Village Council approved the city's May financial report at its June 3 meeting.
Treasurer Judy Graham reported May expenses of $49,038.34, May receipts of $10,385.19 and a bank balance of $166,721.36 as of May 31, 2025. Outstanding checks totaled $24,924.51. Councilmembers noted estimated June receipts of $296,000, which include a $286,225 levy, and estimated June expenses of $38,000. The council approved the financials on a motion by Robert Hart, seconded by Travis Link; the motion carried.
On infrastructure, Clerk Mary Miner said Public Works/Maintenance Supervisor Trenten Chiglo has been mowing road ditches. Councilmember Mike Ebner reported that a lift-station grinder pump and its control panel—located behind a residence on Highway 43 by Brown's Tire—burned out and required replacement. Ebner said the cause is not known and "could have been lightning or a short in the system." Mayor Dennis Overland said whether repair costs are covered by insurance will depend on the determined cause.
The council took no separate motion on the equipment replacement at the June 3 meeting apart from acknowledging the repair and noting potential insurance implications.
