Black Earth board approves appointments, event permit and boundary-description agreement
Summary
The Village Board unanimously approved routine minutes and a series of administrative motions March 3, including appointing a Plan Commission member, permitting the Horribly Hilly Hundred to use Veterans Park June 13, and hiring Vierbicher to prepare a boundary legal description for three village parcels.
The Village of Black Earth Board unanimously approved several routine administrative actions at its March 3 meeting, including the appointment of a new Plan Commission citizen member and approvals related to park use and a legal boundary description.
President Terry Moyer moved to appoint Sydney Haase to the Plan Commission as a citizen member; Mitch Hodson seconded and the motion passed with all ayes. The board also approved the Horribly Hilly Hundred street-use application for June 13, 2026, noting the event will stop at Veterans Park this year because Community Park is not available; Dylan Helmenstine moved to approve and Mitch Hodson seconded. The board approved an agreement with Vierbicher to prepare a legal boundary description necessary to annex three village-owned parcels (two substation parcels and one water-tower parcel); the motion was made by Mitch Hodson and seconded by Nathan Cavanagh and passed unanimously.
Other routine votes included the approval of the February 3 meeting minutes (motion by Dylan Helmenstine, second by Jen Schuetz), the issuance of a new operator license to Makenzie Hendrickson for Black Earth Lanes (motion by Helmenstine, second by Schuetz), and approval of invoices for payment (motion by Helmenstine, second by Tom Marks). All recorded motions passed with "all ayes, none opposed." The board adjourned at 7:10 p.m. after a motion by Mitch Hodson and second by Tom Marks.
What happens next: the approved boundary description work will support the village's annexation process for the identified parcels; the HHH organizers will coordinate park logistics with village staff ahead of the June 13 event.
