Village of Eden board unanimously approves routine business, moves to address snowmobile use on boardwalk
Summary
On Feb. 18, 2025 the Village of Eden Board unanimously approved routine items — minutes, treasurer's report, payment of bills, temporary borrowing, the building inspection report and licenses — and directed outreach to snowmobile clubs after a complaint about snowmobiles on the boardwalk and bridge.
On Feb. 18, 2025, the Village of Eden Board met and unanimously approved routine business including the Jan. 21 meeting minutes, the treasurer's report, payment of bills, temporary borrowing, the building inspection report and licenses. Village Trustee Jay Baumhardt reported a complaint that snowmobiles had been using the boardwalk and the bridge and said he contacted snowmobile clubs asking them to post clearer signage and that he would try to drag the area to obscure earlier tracks.
The approvals were handled by a series of motions and recorded as unanimous. Clerk/Treasurer Kari Schlefke conducted the roll call and recorded the actions. Present were trustees Ed Costello; Jay Baumhardt; Kari Schlefke; Henry Guell; Shea Stahl; and Matt Bonen.
Votes at a glance: a motion by Henry Guell, seconded by Matt Bonen, approved the Jan. 21 minutes; a motion by Shea Stahl, seconded by Henry Guell, approved the treasurer's report; a motion by Matt Bonen, seconded by Shea Stahl, approved payment of bills; Shea Stahl moved and Henry Guell seconded approval of temporary borrowing; Shea Stahl moved and Henry Guell seconded approval of the building inspection report; Matt Bonen moved and Henry Guell seconded approval of licenses. All motions carried unanimously.
On the boardwalk complaint, Trustee Jay Baumhardt said he had already reached out to local snowmobile clubs to request better signage and planned to make surface repairs or dragging to reduce visible tracks. The minutes record the report but do not specify funding sources, a timeline for signage installation, or which clubs were contacted.
The agenda listed a public comment period and several headings (New Business; Sewer Plant and Park; Updates; Items Pending) but the minutes do not include substantive discussion or decisions under those headings in this record. The meeting ended after a unanimous motion to adjourn.
The board adjourned following the motions; the minutes were signed by Clerk/Treasurer Kari Schlefke.
