Board approves $94,185.79 bill list amid questions about unpaid accounts
Summary
Trustees approved the April bill list totaling $94,185.79 on roll call; trustees and finance staff discussed several outstanding payments including a restaurant debt and a separate lawsuit payment to Tower.
Trustees moved and carried approval of the April 2026 bill list, with the clerk reporting the total as $94,185.79. Roll call votes showed trustees present and voting in favor; trustees asked finance to identify which charges had already been paid and which required approval before payment.
Trustee Tyrese Andrews asked about a $3,800 line item and an itemized check history; finance staff confirmed that a subset of the list had already been paid and that remaining items needed board approval. The board also discussed a $41,000 receivable owed by a local restaurant and an outstanding invoice from a vendor referred to as "Tower" connected to ongoing litigation; the mayor said the village has an agreement with counsel to address those claims and that bills will be brought to the board for formal authorization prior to payment.
What happens next: Finance staff will supply follow‑up details for the next agenda about which items are already paid, which require board approval, and recommended handling for delinquent accounts. A trustee requested emergency procedures and notification procedures for urgent repairs or expenses moving forward.
