Rib Lake board adopts Resolution No. 13-2024 setting 2024 tax levies
Summary
At its Dec. 11 meeting the Rib Lake Village Board adopted Resolution #13-2024 to approve the entities' 2024 tax levies and approved a package of routine motions including a $100 donation, employee holiday bonuses, a picnic license for Jan. 4, 2025 and a repainting project.
The Rib Lake Village Board on Dec. 11 adopted Resolution No. 13-2024, approving the entities' 2024 tax levies, and approved several routine items including a community donation, employee holiday bonuses and event licensing.
President Schreiner called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and roll call showed all trustees present except Buksa. Trustee Marschke moved to adopt Resolution #13-2024; Trustee Jones seconded the motion, which carried. The minutes record the action only as “motion carried”; no vote tally was provided in the record.
Why it matters: the resolution formalizes the village component of property tax levies for 2024 and is the formal step the board took to set those levies for the village entities. The minutes do not include the levy totals or allocations by levy authority; those amounts were not specified in the meeting record.
Other board actions taken at the meeting included approval of a $100 donation to the Friends of Rib Lake for a Christmas decorating contest (moved Tesch, seconded Marschke); authorization of employee holiday bonuses (moved Budimlija, seconded Tesch); approval of a picnic license for the Fish & Game Ice Fishing Contest scheduled Jan. 4, 2025 (moved Marschke, seconded Mann); and authorization to repaint gray trim in the hallway and boardroom at an estimated cost of about $2,000 (moved Marschke, seconded Budimlija). Each motion is recorded in the minutes as having “carried.”
The board also approved participating in a Discover WI episode to highlight the Rib Lake section of the Ice Age Trail (moved Jones, seconded Budimlija). Later in the meeting the board voted to enter a closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(c) to consider employment-related matters; the roll-call vote to enter closed session was recorded as “all in favor.” The board returned to open session with no motions coming out of closed session.
The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. The minutes were prepared and certified by Village Clerk Kristin Lueck.
