Stetsonville board signs utility contract, accepts operational reports and approves payments
Summary
The board on Aug. 11 approved a contract with the City of Medford Utility for lab work, accepted wastewater/water and street reports, approved vouchers and EFTs, and discussed a closed session on personnel and facilities; trash pricing corrections and a March 2026 TIF balloon were also noted.
At its Aug. 11 meeting the Village of Stetsonville board approved a contract with the City of Medford Utility for lab work and assistance on the village's utility program, accepted municipal wastewater/water and street maintenance reports, and approved payment of vouchers and electronic fund transfers.
The Medford City Utility contract was moved by Trustee Stephanie Bohn and seconded by Trustee Tyler Lemke and recorded as all ayes. Trustees Jay Jochimsen and Doug Klemm presented wastewater and water reports showing test results within required guidelines; the board was told that well No. 2 is down and awaiting parts, AMS is finishing sludge removal in wastewater ponds, hydrant flushing and lead-and-copper testing are upcoming, and manhole repairs are set to begin.
The board accepted the wastewater/water and street/maintenance reports (mover Bohn, seconder Riemer) and approved vouchers numbered 1720 through 1749 and EFTs 08-01 through 08-17 (mover McCarron, seconder Lemke), with the minutes recording all ayes. Clerk/Treasurer Jan Tischendorf reported seven accounts under warning for utility disconnection and said she is preparing a clerk manual for a future clerk/treasurer replacement. The clerk also noted corrections to trash-bag pricing for the newsletter: kitchen trash bag $3; large black 30-gallon and larger $5; barrels $5.
The board moved into a closed session to discuss an employee evaluation and a facility plan and later returned to open session; motions to enter and exit closed session were recorded. The meeting adjourned, and the next meeting was announced for Monday, Sept. 8, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. at the Jean M. Thomsen Memorial Library.
Why it matters: The combined approvals maintain routine municipal operations, secure lab services for compliance testing, and identify immediate operational issues (a disabled well, delinquent utility accounts) that could affect service and budgets.
