Elmwood board approves kennel license, library door contract and routine municipal measures
Summary
At its May 11 meeting the Village of Elmwood Board approved a kennel license allowing up to three dogs with conditions, authorized deposit of maturing CD proceeds into the Village MMA pending reinvestment decisions, approved a Lindus Construction contract for a library back door, and approved several licenses, fees and purchases.
The Elmwood Village Board of Trustees met May 11 and approved a series of routine actions including a conditional kennel license, a temporary deposit of maturing certificate of deposit proceeds, and several contracts and licenses.
The board approved a kennel license for the property at 128 W. Wilson Avenue for Leah and Jeramie Link that allows up to three dogs to remain at the residence. Trustees expressed concern about the total number of active kennel licenses in the village and set a condition that if one of the dogs is removed the applicants must reapply to maintain three dogs. Paul Unser moved to approve the license; Jason Severson seconded and the motion carried on a roll call vote.
Facing a certificate of deposit maturing May 14, trustees decided to place the proceeds temporarily into the Village's money market account while staff shops for competitive rates. President Neil Boltik moved the temporary deposit and authorized personnel to research reinvestment options; the Personnel and Finance Committee will make the final decision on future reinvestment.
On capital work, the board approved a Personnel and Finance Committee recommendation to accept Lindus Construction's proposal of $8,849.50 to replace the library back door, a contract touted for the company's commercial experience. The board also authorized the purchase of an outdoor drop box after staff presented four replacement options to accommodate auditorium key returns.
Licensing actions approved included an operator's license for Allan McKenna (Kern's Hometown Cafe9 LLC). Trustees also approved a $30 golf cart registration fee intended to cover registration materials and administrative processing.
The board reviewed correspondence regarding a proposed Verizon tower and a fall-zone/setback certification letter; the board recorded action on that item. Trustees authorized submission of the Village's response to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin regarding water utility rates after staff summarized that the last full rate study was completed in 1996 and that rising costs and declining reserves prompted PSC inquiries.
All motions in the minutes were approved by roll call votes; the published minutes record that votes "carried" but do not list individual yes/no tallies.
The board approved payment of bills and adjourned at 7:44 p.m. The Personnel and Finance Committee will finalize any reinvestment of CD proceeds, and the Village Attorney will review the proposed golf cart ordinance for scheduling.
