Village board approves budget, utilities ordinance, multiple repairs and service contracts
Summary
At its Nov. 3 meeting the board adopted the 2026 budget and levy, passed a comprehensive utilities ordinance, approved a Clare Bank loan for a mower, authorized multiple repairs and service contracts (cooler repair up to $5,000; hydro-jet and inspection of sewer main; red truck repairs $1,228.15) and approved WisVote cost-sharing and other routine items.
The Village Board took a series of votes on routine and substantive items during the Nov. 3 meeting. Key approvals included adoption of the 2026 budget and levy, passage of an updated utilities ordinance, selection of Clare Bank for a $10,000 tax-qualified loan to buy a John Deere zero-turn mower (Clare Bank quote 3.49% vs Peoples State Bank 4.1%), and a motion to disregard the base meter fee for 317 Bowery Street where the house had been destroyed by fire.
Operational and maintenance approvals included up to $5,000 for park cooler repairs, approval of hydro-jetting and camera inspection of a grease-blocked sewer main (approximate cost $2,000 plus mileage), acceptance of a $1,228.15 quote from B&M Auto Tire & Towing LLC to repair the red truck and replace two tires, and multiple administrative forms and the WisVote cost-sharing agreement. All recorded motions carried by unanimous voice vote.
