Bonduel board unanimously adopts personnel policy updates, trial summer hours and approves payments; TID balance noted
Summary
Trustees approved amendments to the Village Personnel Policy to add Family and Medical Leave and leave sharing/donation, authorized a trial summer work schedule for departments, approved February payments including property tax-settlement invoices, and received a Treasurer’s report showing a preliminary $445,000 TID balance to be distributed after audit.
The Village of Bonduel Village Board on Feb. 11 approved several administrative and financial items, including amendments to the personnel policy, a trial change to summer department hours, and monthly payments.
On personnel policy, the Committee of the Whole recommended adding Family and Medical Leave and a Leave Sharing/Donation provision to the Village Personnel Policy handbook (2024-01). The board voted to approve the amended handbook, with the caveat that the Village Attorney will complete a legal review of the additions and any attorney changes be incorporated. The motion to approve was made by Trustee Brenda Staszak and seconded by Trustee Michelle Streetman; it carried unanimously.
The board also approved a trial departmental schedule from May through Labor Day to shift to nine-hour days Monday through Thursday and half-days on Friday. Village Hall would open one hour earlier in the morning and close a half-hour later in the evening for the trial; staff will track resident usage and the board reserved the right to revert to prior hours if usage is low. Trustee Streetman moved the measure; Trustee Staszak seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Board members approved the February payments, with Trustee Staszak moving and Trustee Falk seconding. The payments approval included added invoices for February property tax settlements. Clerk/Treasurer Michelle Maroszek reported that Tax Increment District (TID) #1 has been closed; preliminary drafts show a fund balance of about $445,000 that will be distributed to the taxing jurisdictions (school district, county and vocational school) once the audit is complete. The board approved the January 2026 Treasurer’s report on a unanimous motion.
Municipal Operations reported operational issues: staff noted six water-main breaks since the start of the year; the parts for a plow truck were found to require additional fuel-emission repairs estimated at about $14,000, which staff said is not worth pursuing given the truck’s condition, and they are looking into alternatives until the vehicle can be replaced. A new tractor-loader-backhoe is scheduled to be delivered at the end of March.
The meeting concluded after routine announcements and a motion to adjourn; trustees adjourned at 6:38 p.m.
