Board approves 2025 Motor Fuel Tax spending cap amid fund shortfall concerns
Summary
Trustees approved using up to $50,500 in 2025 Motor Fuel Tax funds and discussed a reported −$47,647 balance in the MFT account linked to FEMA timing; approval was unanimous.
The Village of New Berlin board voted unanimously April 16 to approve Motor Fuel Tax spending for 2025 "not to exceed $50,500," moved by Trustee Stephanie Synder and seconded by Trustee Sue Spalding. The motion passed with all trustees recorded as yes.
Earlier in the meeting Trustee Neuman alerted the board to a −$47,647 balance in the Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) fund, which he described as a timing issue related to FEMA reimbursements that had not yet been received. Trustees approved the 2025 MFT allocation with that context noted in the minutes; the record does not list specific projects tied to the appropriation.
The board did not specify immediate implementation steps or which street projects the MFT funds will support; Trustee Neuman requested further budget review at the next meeting.
