Village Board approves bills payable; notes three‑year plan to buy police squad car
Summary
At a three‑minute special meeting on March 23, 2026, the Village Board unanimously approved the bills payable report and acknowledged a planned police squad car purchase that the minutes say has been on the budget for three years.
The Village Board unanimously approved the bills payable report during a special meeting called to order by President Steve Buss at 6:00 p.m. on March 23, 2026. Board members voted to approve the report "as presented" on a motion by Christin Keeffer, seconded by Brian Peight; the minutes record the vote as “ALL AYE.”
President Steve Buss told the board the purchase under the bills payable includes a squad car for the police department that "has been on the budget for 3 years." The minutes do not list a dollar amount or funding source for the vehicle. Claudia Simpson is listed as Village Clerk and submitted the minutes. The meeting record contains an inconsistent date line (one passage references March 24, 2025); this article uses the meeting header date of March 23, 2026 and notes the inconsistency in the minutes.
