Village opens hearing on wastewater budget; Mayor cites $110,000 need for pump station upgrades
Summary
At a March 5 public hearing, Mayor Furlong said the village needs to increase sewer contractual expenses by $110,000 to fund upgrades to pump stations more than 20 years old; no public comment was offered and the hearing was closed the same night.
Mayor Furlong opened a public hearing at 6:50 p.m. on March 5 to consider FY25-26 wastewater budget modifications, telling the board the changes are needed to fund upgrades to pump stations that are "over 20 years old." He said the modification proposed would "increase Sewer contractual expenses by $110,000." No members of the public spoke during the hearing, which was closed at 7:00 p.m.
The hearing record in the minutes does not show a separate recorded roll-call vote to adopt the specific $110,000 contractual increase; the board subsequently handled several budget corrections during the Treasurer's portion of the meeting. The minutes indicate the board accepted routine wastewater reporting that the flow report was "good," and later approved an appointment in the wastewater department. The hearing therefore appears to have been informational and tied to motions and budget adjustments recorded later in the meeting.
