Elm Grove trustees approve $557,990.10 paving contract with Stark Paving

The Elm Grove Board of Trustees voted unanimously on May 6, 2026, to award the village's 2026 paving project contract to Stark Paving for an amount not to exceed $557,990.10, and authorized a total project budget of $575,000, with any increase to be brought back to the board for approval.

Trustee Schindler, presenting the Public Works Committee recommendation, moved to "approve award of contract to Stark Paving for the 2026 Paving Project in the amount not to exceed $557,990.10," a motion seconded by Trustee Castile and adopted by a 4-0 vote. Trustee Schindler noted that the City of Brookfield will pay its share for the portion of road that extends into Brookfield.

President Koleski asked that staff return to the board for approval if any cost increases are required before authorizing additional work, a direction the trustees accepted during discussion. The record does not specify which streets are included in the contract, the project schedule, or a contract number.

The vote followed the board's earlier procedural approval of the agenda, and after the contract award the board heard a brief "other business" remark from President Koleski pointing to a Wall Street Journal article about the challenging environment for local government funding. The meeting was adjourned at 5:55 PM.

Details not specified in the meeting record include the exact list of streets to be paved, project start and completion dates, and any mobilization or contingency line items in the Stark Paving proposal. The minutes were submitted by Clerk Crystal Turner and note the minutes were approved on May 26, 2026.
