Orange Village Council approved several procurement and budget items during the meeting.
The council moved to award the 2026 concrete road repair program contract to DRS Enterprises for $144,230 after staff described the firm's concrete and underground experience and favorable references. Council then approved a change order for the 2026 asphalt program increasing the Roniak Paving contract by up to $103,435; public works staff said the work represents mill-and-fill repairs to preserve pavement until a full overlay can be budgeted.
Treasurer Dana presented May financials: May revenues across funds were $1,824,160.63 and May expenditures $1,355,173.89; general revenues were at 46.64% of budget while expenditures were at 36.7%. Dana also reported a retainer refund to Orange Village of just over $156,000 from the regional income tax agency, bringing the combined refund to $173,449 and noting collection costs under 1%.
Council adopted an appropriations amendment that increased the capital improvement fund by $190,000 to record the previously approved fire-station purchase and closing costs and made other line-item adjustments for mayor's court revenue and legal negotiation costs. The compensation ordinance reflecting union negotiation outcomes was also adopted after suspending the rules to allow retroactive payroll and pension reporting work to proceed.
All procurement motions and budget ordinances were approved by roll call.
