Town of Holland adopts ordinance, approves generator warranty and employee compensation; several routine items pass unanimously
Summary
The board adopted Ordinance 2024‑08, approved a $562 extended warranty for the town hall generator, waived a rental fee for the Oostburg Fire Department banquet, adopted an employee compensation schedule after closed‑session deliberations, and approved financial reports and vouchers.
At its Sept. 9 meeting, the Town of Holland Board of Supervisors approved a range of routine actions and two formally recorded votes by roll call.
Ordinance adoption: The board unanimously adopted Ordinance 2024‑08 to amend Chapter 263 of the Town Code by roll call vote (Kelly Caswell: Y; Douglas Hamilton: Y; David Huenink: Y; Stanley Lammers: Y; Brody Stapel: Y).
Routine approvals: The board approved the August 2024 financial/treasurer’s report and the September voucher listing as modified (including an invoice modification of $115.71 to Stemper Equipment Services). A motion to waive the Holland Town Hall rental fee for the Oostburg Fire Department's Jan. 11, 2025 banquet carried by unanimous voice vote. The board also authorized purchase of a five‑year comprehensive extended warranty for the town hall generator at $562 and authorized Clerk‑Treasurer Janelle Kaiser to sign warranty paperwork.
Personnel action: The board entered closed session at 9:40 p.m. under §19.85(1)(c), Wis. Stats., to review compensation for non‑elected employees for 2025; after reconvening, the board adopted the revised Employee Compensation Schedule effective Jan. 1, 2025 by unanimous roll call vote.
Administration and scheduling: The board reached consensus to change future monthly meeting start times to 6:30 p.m. effective Dec. 1, 2024, and approved proposed new Clerk‑Treasurer office hours (Monday–Wednesday, 9 a.m.–12 p.m.) effective the same date. A liquor license application from Kevin Claerbaut (Holland Landscape and Supply Country and Garden Store) was received and listed for the Sept. 16 special meeting agenda.
Why it matters: The recorded ordinance adoption and the employee compensation decision are formal, roll‑call actions that change the town’s code and personnel pay schedule; the other approvals are budgetary and operational housekeeping items the board handled by consensus or voice vote.
What to watch next: The revised voucher listing will appear in the Oct. 14 packet; the Sept. 16 special meeting will include a liquor license application and a planned closed session regarding the Pine Beach Road property.
