Walworth board approves $1.76 million in payables, reduces snow-removal fines and adopts salary ordinance
Summary
The board approved payables and additions totaling $1,755,700.63, reduced two snow-removal fines to $75, and adopted Ordinance 2026-1 (Salary & Wage) after President Czaja read the ordinance into the record.
At its Jan. 12 meeting the Village Board approved General Fund and Utility payables plus additions totaling $1,755,700.63 by unanimous motion (A Czaja/Tanner). The Finance Committee recommended reducing fines for snow removal at 314 Windmill Lane and 218 Randolph Street to $75; the board approved that reduction and stressed the importance of warning property owners prior to fining.
President Louise Czaja read Ordinance 2026-1 (Salary & Wage Ordinance) into the record and the board adopted the ordinance by unanimous motion (A Tanner/Sara). The approved Clerk/Treasurer compensation package and the ordinance together update pay and wage structure for positions referenced in the minutes.
The minutes note auditors have additional questions about reconciliations and audit reports; the board directed staff to continue working with auditors. The board also approved a Deputy Clerk/Treasurer posting and set a starting wage of $55,000 for that position.
The payables figure recorded in the minutes should be interpreted as the total for items presented that evening; invoices and supporting documents were part of the packet but not detailed in the minutes.
