At a public budget hearing recorded in the Village of Lazy Lake minutes, the council voted 3-0 to adopt a tentative millage rate of 6.5000 mills and to approve the tentative budget for fiscal year 2025–2026.
Councilmember Jeff Grenell moved to adopt Resolution 25-02 setting the tentative millage at 6.5000 mills; the minutes record the villages rolled-back rate as 6.2849 mills. The motion passed with a 3-0 tally. The minutes do not list individual yes/no votes by name.
The council then considered Resolution 25-03, adopting the tentative budget for FY 2025–2026. A council member moved to approve the resolution and Councilmember William Daugherty seconded; the motion passed 3-0. The minutes record that the council adopted the tentative budget but do not include a detailed line-item breakdown in the text of the minutes.
During discussion of the budget, the council held a separate conversation about providing council compensation or an expense allowance. Different amounts were considered for council members, the council president and the mayor, but no compensation policy was adopted; the minutes say this issue will be addressed again at the next scheduled council meeting.
Mayor Ray Nyhuis and councilmembers Arnold Aliff, Jeff Grenell and William Daugherty are listed in the attendance; Councilmember Dana Merrill is recorded as participating by phone, and Councilmember Warren Nadeau is listed as absent. Village Clerk Tedra Allen and Village Attorney Pamala Ryan are recorded as in attendance; Marcia Fennel is listed as the village financial consultant.
The minutes show the hearing was called to order at 6:31 p.m. and adjourned at 7:33 p.m. The resolution texts included in the minutes state that a final public hearing will be set to consider adoption of the final millage and the villages final budget, though the minutes do not list the date of that final hearing.
The minutes label the session as the "Public Budget Hearing" for September 10, 2025; one header line in the document also lists September 11, 2025. The minutes themselves show the actions described above and will serve as the record for scheduling the follow-up final hearing.
