Walworth board approves in‑house financing for LSL bond counsel, schedules July 13 hearing and OKs $12,000 Well #4 meter purchase
Summary
At the June 23 special meeting the Walworth Village Board voted unanimously to finance bond counsel for the 2026 Lead Service Line project from the village budget, schedule a public hearing for July 13 on additional LSL replacements and approve a roughly $12,000 purchase for a Well #4 meter from B&M Tech.
The Walworth Village Board approved three administrative measures at its June 23 special meeting.
On the 2026 Lead Service Line project, trustees agreed to cover bond counsel fees from the Village’s budget rather than borrow for that expense. The board was told Quarles & Brady LLP provided bond counsel for the prior LSL financing and that the Village expects to receive a Community Outreach Grant of roughly $30,000 this year to cover outreach and staffing costs; that grant would allow the Village to use budgeted funds to pay bond counsel. President Louise Czaja moved to finance the bond counsel in‑house, Trustee Brooke Yunker seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
Trustees also voted unanimously to schedule a public hearing on additional lead service line replacements for July 13, 2026 (motion by Czaja, second by Peg Hubertz).
On utilities maintenance, Trustee Steve Hovetol moved, seconded by Trustee Merik Fell, to approve the purchase of a replacement meter for Well #4 from B&M Tech for roughly $12,000; the motion carried unanimously. The minutes list Board Members present as seven, so the recorded outcome was unanimous among those present.
President Czaja moved to adjourn at 6:06 p.m.; Trustee Ken Ellerth seconded and the meeting adjourned.
