West Milwaukee board approves 2025 audit, awards $130,968 CDBG contract for firehouse boiler
Summary
The Village Board unanimously approved the 2025 audit, authorized payments including $93,607 in vouchers and $135,366 in payroll, and awarded a $130,968 Community Development Block Grant contract to Dillet Mechanical Service for a firehouse boiler (approximately $100,000 CDBG and $31,000 general fund).
The West Milwaukee Village Board on July 6 unanimously approved the village's 2025 audit report as presented by Baker Tilly and approved routine finance items including commercial vouchers and payroll.
Trustee John Ragonese, chair of the Finance Committee, moved to accept the audit and to award the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) contract for the firehouse boiler to Dillet Mechanical Service in the amount of $130,968.00. The funding breakdown recorded at the meeting was $100,000 from CDBG funding and approximately $31,000 from the village general fund. The board also approved commercial vouchers and wire transfers (check numbers 35758 through 35808) totaling $93,607.11 and the bi-weekly payroll dated June 26, 2026 totaling $135,366.18; each motion passed on roll-call votes.
The finance actions were moved and seconded by trustees serving as committee chairs and carried by unanimous roll call. The CDBG award followed the Finance Committee's recommendation and was presented as a single-line contract award; no amendments or objections were recorded during the discussion.
What happens next: with the award and payments approved, procurement and contract execution steps will follow under the village purchasing rules, and staff will incorporate the audit findings into the 2027 budget process, which the administrator said would begin now that the audit is complete.
