On April 2, 2026, the Village of South Range Council approved a series of motions including an easement for Adam’s Township, acceptance of a telecommunications right-of-way permit allowing Aspire Networks 1 LLC to install fiber-optic infrastructure, the purchase of community-building doors, and three $2,500 donations totaling $7,500.
The council approved payment of bills totaling $31,479.73. Trustee Balma moved to approve the bills and Trustee Hill seconded; the meeting record lists Trustees Korby and Parolini as ayes for that motion and states the motion carried. The transcript does not provide a full roll-call list for that item beyond the two named ayes.
Trustee Korby moved to approve the Adam’s Township easement and to authorize President Eakin and Clerk Schwandt as signatories; Trustee Balma seconded. The roll call listed ayes from President Eakin, Trustee Parolini, Trustee Hill and Trustee Korby, and the motion carried.
The council voted to purchase three replacement doors with crash-bars (no windows) for the Community Building from Door Depot after Trustee Balma moved and Trustee Korby seconded; the transcript names President Eakin, Trustee Parolini and Trustee Hill as ayes and records the motion as carried.
On personnel, Trustee Korby moved to grandfather Craig Burkman with four weeks of vacation time after 15 years of employment, with employees hired after him to follow the new handbook. Trustee Balma seconded; the roll call named President Eakin, Trustee Parolini and Trustee Hill as ayes and the motion carried.
The council approved the Highline Right-of-Way Telecommunications permit, which the record states allows Aspire Networks 1 LLC to install and maintain fiber-optic broadband in Village rights-of-way. Trustee Balma moved and Trustee Korby seconded; the transcript lists President Eakin, Trustee Parolini and Trustee Hill as ayes and records the motion as carried.
The council also approved three separate $2,500 donations — to the Village Fourth of July events, to UPSET and to Adams Township first responders — following motions recorded in the minutes; the transcript names ayes for each motion (variously President Eakin, Trustee Parolini, Trustee Hill or Trustee Korby) and records each motion as carried, for a total of $7,500 in donations approved at the meeting.
A lease for the village baseball fields with the South Range VFW was noted as in progress and will be reviewed at the next meeting. With no further business, Trustee Balma moved to adjourn at 9:16 PM with support from Trustee Parolini; the record states 'All ayes' and the meeting adjourned.
The meeting minutes record the maker and seconder for each motion and the named roll-call votes where provided; where individual roll-call names were not supplied in the transcript for an item, the account explicitly notes that the transcript did not list full roll-call details.
