Denton — The Village of Denton Board of Trustees on Aug. 5 approved a $17,250 contract to line a sewer pipe, renewed two Class C liquor licenses and adopted a municipal annual certification, the board said at its regular meeting at the Denton Community Center.
Trustee John Juricek moved to approve the bid from Johnson Service Company to install a 6-inch cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner for $17,250; Trustee Amanda Fangmeier seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The board recorded the contract approval as a formal action to address a localized sewer need.
The trustees also opened and quickly closed a public hearing on automatic renewals of Class C liquor licenses at 6:52 p.m.; by motion of Trustee Doug Rosekrans and second by Juricek the board approved renewals for two licensees, Denton Daily Double and Denton American Legion, with a unanimous vote.
On administrative business the board adopted Resolution 24-8-1, the Municipal Annual Certification, following a motion by Juricek and a second by Fangmeier. The trustees introduced Ordinance 24-8-1 (Nebraska Basic Code) and voted to waive the state statutory requirement for three readings; the introduction and the waiver passed by unanimous vote, and the ordinance was set for its first reading as introduced.
Finance reports presented at the meeting showed the village with: General fund $94,922.08; Water $8,848.51; Sewer $3,423.35; Community Center $1,300.00. The Keno report for June 24 listed gross proceeds of $537,057.72, payout at 87.25 percent, unclaimed wins $284.08, village share $30,847.20 and operator share $37,594.04.
The board approved Claims List A totaling $65,596.12, Claims List B $4,412.34 and June payroll of $9,865.05 on a motion by Juricek and second by Fangmeier; those approvals carried unanimously.
Maintenance staff member Blackledge asked the board to consider several proposed budget items, including a replacement mower (quote about $16,000), smart locks for village buildings (about $11,000) and barricades (about $5,600). The board agreed to rent a grapple attachment for the bobcat to collect storm-downed trees and reached consensus to haul the removed trees to the south well property. The board also agreed by consensus to hire Jake Baker to remove a limb hanging in the W Denton right-of-way.
Trustees discussed beginning talks with the Village of Garland on an interlocal agreement to provide water operator services; the board reached consensus to start those discussions but did not record a formal agreement.
The meeting was called to order at 6:31 p.m. and adjourned at 7:40 p.m. Clerk-Treasurer Charlotte Te Brink certified the minutes.
