Board holds first reading of Ordinance 2025-02 on lead service line replacements
Summary
The Village Board held a first reading of Ordinance 2025-02 to adopt municipal code 12.24 concerning lead service line replacement. Trustees discussed whether the Village should use general fund dollars to cover 50% of private-side replacements or require property owners to pay the private share; no vote was taken.
Administrator Nick Leonard summarized prior discussions and the options available under the awarded funds for the Village's lead service line replacement plan. Leonard said the Board could either use general fund dollars to cover 50% of the private-side replacement cost or require property owners to pay that 50% themselves.
Trustee Mike Will said he was not in favor of using General Fund dollars to pay the private-side 50% share. Trustee John Duffy asked about the total amount for the first round; Leonard said the funding package contains approximately $90,000 in loan funds that must be repaid and about $90,000 in forgivable loan funds.
The Board then conducted the first reading of Ordinance 2025-02, adopting municipal code 12.24 related to lead service line replacement; no final action or adoption occurred at this meeting (first reading only). Further hearings or readings are expected before any ordinance adoption or funding decision.
