Clerk/Treasurer Shawna Atterbury reported an unexpected charge from the village's former health insurer, Exemplar, of about $1,923.39 tied to contractual obligations after an employee resignation; the village's insurance agent initially advised ignoring the charge but later acknowledged it was valid. She also noted the 2026 Clerk's Institute is scheduled for July 13–17 and that the village received credit for last year's registration.
Atterbury raised concerns about personal and negative comments on the village Facebook page and recommended turning off comments or discontinuing the page; the board agreed to turn comments off in the meantime and discuss next steps with Chief Small at the next meeting. She also recommended obtaining separate credit cards for village staff to streamline purchases; the board authorized her to speak with People's Bank about issuing cards for herself, Chief Small, Leitzinger and potentially the library.
