Clerk and staff report: liquor permit forms updated, audit may eliminate on-site visit, rate study and elections timeline
Summary
Clerk/Treasurer Holly Malaszuk reported revisions to liquor-permit forms after finding missing required documents, said the auditor indicated an on-site visit may not be needed next year (potentially saving up to $10,000), and noted progress on a water and sewer rate study and the transition to .gov email addresses.
Clerk/Treasurer Holly Malaszuk told the board that, during a review of the Liquor and Beverages ordinance, staff discovered the Village had been missing several required documents for different event permit types. She said staff (Lexi and the clerk) are preparing updated forms to address gaps for Non-Alcohol Events, Temporary Extension of Premises, Outdoor Sports & Beer Gardens, and Open Container Permits.
Malaszuk said CLA, the Village’s auditor, indicated that with the current method of saving documents digitally, an on-site audit visit will not be necessary next year, "potentially saving the Village up to $10,000 annually." She noted staff are refining processes and assisting CLA as needed for the 2024 audit.
On utilities, Malaszuk said she obtained documents from Ehlers to begin a water and sewer rate study and had a meeting scheduled the following day to establish a timeline. She also reminded the board that review meetings will take place on the 17th at 6 p.m., that primary elections were completed Feb. 18 and Spring Elections are April 1, and that the Village will transition to .gov email addresses to meet upcoming requirements.
Nick Andrews provided a library update noting a slight increase in memberships, a recent neon art show for kindergarten through fourth grade, a book sale scheduled for April 12 at the Village Auditorium, and county- and state-park day passes available for public use.
Police Chief Chris Thibado summarized February police activity: 31 calls for service, an ongoing juvenile investigation, attendance at first-appearance court, assistance to Spring Valley Police Department at a high-school event, a two-hour Drug Endangered Children webinar, an escort for wrestlers to state competition, and one citation issued. He also said officers worked on ordinance-review tasks.
The board approved full payment of bills as submitted later in the meeting by roll-call vote.
