White Lake schedules Jan. 14 caucus, tables library plan; public works reports pond discharge and tower equipment removal
Summary
The Village of White Lake board set its 2025 caucus for Jan. 14, 2025, tabled the library's 2025 financial plan, heard public comments and updates from fire, clerk, and public works — including removal of wireless equipment from the water tower and a pond discharge operation.
The Village of White Lake board met Dec. 10 and set its 2025 caucus for Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025 at 6 p.m., while tabling the White Lake Library’s financial status and 2025 plan until the January meeting. The caucus motion (moved by Tom Edelman, seconded by Frank Skarlupka) and the motion to table the library plan (moved by Patsy Listle, seconded by Frank Skarlupka) each passed unanimously.
During public comment, Myra Oatman (identified in the minutes with the fire department) complimented recent community events including the Soup with Santa and the Historical Society tree lighting. Judy Peterson asked whether "Art" could be asked about potential grants to build an assisted-living facility on Motion Street; the minutes mention asking "Art" but do not identify that person or record a response.
Trustee and department updates included a fire-department report read by Fire Chief Brandon Tegen, who noted the Soup with Santa event and announced a Fishing Derby scheduled for Feb. 1, 2025. Trustee Patsy Listle announced a community Christmas dinner on Dec. 25 from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. and reported a zoning activity at 1240 Lake St. involving a new roof and partial foundation work.
Clerk Carol Blawat reported personnel and finance items: the board recorded hiring a high-school student helper, Alexa Lambert, to begin Dec. 12 at $10 per hour (up to 10 hours weekly); a possible Workhorse install for accounting and payroll in Feb. 2025; a $400 donation from Sandy Listle earmarked for the 2025 Fourth of July celebration; tax bills scheduled to be mailed that week; and certificates of deposit for the water and sewer department coming due.
Public Works lead Scott Popelka reported that Bertram Wireless removed equipment from the village water tower, crews were discharging the pond to lower water to the discharge pipe, a sample will be sent to the Great American Water Taste Test through the WI Rural Water Association, a water leak at 634 Bissell led to a shutoff, Popelka had contacted the insurance representative about a split sewer-line claim for coverage review, and trucks were ready for snow. The meeting adjourned at 6:32 p.m. on a motion by Listle, seconded by Skarlupka.
