Council reviews operational updates: Starlink cost, 9‑1‑1 staffing and AED replacements
Summary
Staff reported rising Starlink costs at the treatment plant, a new county 9‑1‑1 director appointment, changes to fire department billing, and replacement of two AEDs; staff said training would be provided.
In the reports section, staff and trustees reviewed several operational and community items. Staff noted that the monthly Starlink connection cost at the plant has increased and that the team is investigating whether a data usage cap needs adjustment. "The cost of our Starlink connection in the plant has gone up each month for the past few months," staff said.
Trustees also reported a county‑level change in 9‑1‑1 leadership and described ongoing fire department updates. Staff explained the village uses "soft billing" for EMS transports — billing insurance where available and not pursuing charges when no insurance exists — and said two AED units were replaced; staff committed to provide training for use of the devices. Community announcements included farmers market token distribution questions, event promotion efforts and volunteer recognition for local festivals and movie nights.
These items were listed in staff reports and roundtable announcements; none required immediate council action during the meeting portion recorded in the transcript.
