The Village of Gresham board voted unanimously on Aug. 19 to join Great Lakes Utilities and adopted Resolution No. 2025-02 authorizing the membership.
Trustee Art Bahr moved to approve joining Great Lakes Utilities and Trustee Brett Hoffman seconded; the motion carried 7–0. The board then moved to adopt Resolution No. 2025-02, again on a unanimous roll-call vote in which Trustees Blaine Ebert, Brett Hoffman, Art Bahr, Michelle Martinez, Brett Nelson, Tom Madsen and President Rick Giese were recorded as voting yes.
The electric utility's recent bills and accounts were discussed earlier in the meeting: Brian Carroll reported monthly electric expenses totaling $250,347.42, which the board approved separately. The minutes note a $8,350.00 TIF expense and routine utility reporting, but the resolution itself and next implementation steps for the Great Lakes Utilities membership were not detailed in the minutes.
The vote completes the board’s formal authorization to join the regional utility group; the minutes do not specify an effective date, membership terms, or required follow-up steps beyond the adopted resolution.
Next steps: the record shows the resolution adopted; the board did not place additional implementation instructions in the minutes.
