Gilman schedules Jan. 21 special meeting with engineer and Rural Water to discuss DNR wastewater permit
Summary
Village President Jane DeStaercke and Clerk Candice Grunseth said the village needs to address issuance of the DNR wastewater permit for the WWTF; a special meeting with the engineer and Rural Water is set for Jan. 21, 2025 at 4:00 PM. The clerk will not attend and Trustee Dee Bornheimer volunteered to take minutes.
Village leaders said the Village of Gilman must move forward on issuance of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) permit for the wastewater treatment facility and scheduled a special meeting to address next steps.
President Jane DeStaercke raised the issue in her report at the Jan. 8 regular meeting and suggested a meeting be held to discuss permit-related requirements. Clerk Candice Grunseth confirmed the village plans to meet with the village engineer and representatives from Rural Water on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. to review what the DNR permit issuance entails. Grunseth said she could not attend and Trustee Dee Bornheimer volunteered to take minutes for that meeting.
The board also approved an engagement letter with Baumann Associates for 2025 engineering services during the Jan. 8 meeting; the approved engagement and the scheduled special meeting indicate the village is preparing to coordinate technical and regulatory steps related to the WWTF permit. The meeting minutes do not specify permit terms, timelines or financial commitments tied to the permit review; those details were not provided in the transcript and will be addressed in the special meeting.
