At its Sept. 9 meeting the Village of Waldo Board approved a developer's agreement for the Hunter's Grove subdivision, authorized payment of $20,158.89 in vouchers and payroll liabilities, approved an operator's license for Dawn Schaefer (Wicked Spirits), and authorized buying five chairs for the boardroom; the board held a closed personnel session and took no subsequent action.
President Gary Dekker called the Village of Waldo Board of Trustees to order at 6:02 p.m. on Sept. 9, 2024. Trustees Steve Bunnow, Dennis Reinemann and Mike Hintz were present; Trustee Jerry Hammarlund was absent. Village Administrator Bruce Neerhof and Clerk/Treasurer Lisa Gillette were in attendance.
The board handled a series of routine items. Trustee Steve Bunnow moved to approve the minutes from the Aug. 12, 2024 meeting; Trustee Dennis Reinemann seconded and the motion carried.

Administrator Bruce Neerhof presented the August administrative report noting a 2024–2025 snow-plowing contract update, replacement of a stop sign and that the county graded a gravel road.
The board discussed and approved a developer’s agreement with Hiring Investments, LLC for Hunter’s Grove Subdivision, Addition 1.
