Town of Mountain reviews preliminary 2025 budget, schedules follow-up workshop

The Town of Mountain board met for a budget workshop on Oct. 22, 2024, reviewing the town's preliminary 2025 budget and the Levy Limit worksheet. Chairman Maletzke called the meeting to order at 7:48 p.m. at the Town Office; Clerk Lynn Kauzlaric recorded those present as Chairman Maletzke, Supervisor Carey-Mielke and Supervisor O'Barski, and noted one person in attendance.

Board members reviewed revenue and expenditure planning for 2025 and acknowledged receipt of the Fire Department budget. The agenda included several capital and maintenance items: equipment needs for the cemetery, a possible replacement of a Case tractor at the recycle center, repair needs for the town salt shed, and a proposed redesign of the recycle center layout that would include fence replacement. The minutes do not record specific cost estimates, motions, or vote tallies for any of these items.

The board set a follow-up Budget Workshop for Monday, Oct. 28, to begin immediately after a Special Town Board meeting scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. at the Town Office, 13503 Weller Rd. Chairman Maletzke adjourned the workshop at 8:46 p.m. Minutes were submitted for approval by Clerk Lynn Kauzlaric.

No formal votes or motions were recorded in the minutes from this session; the meeting record notes discussion and scheduling but does not show adoption of any budget items or capital expenditures. Any cost figures, motions, or department requests referenced in discussion were not specified in the minutes and would require follow-up for details.
