Junk week dates, donation authority and missing time capsule discussed

Village of Washburn Board of Trustees · March 9, 2026

Summary

Trustees proposed spring junk week dates (May 9 or May 23) and a fall date (Sept. 19); Brad Cole told the board the village may make donations if placed on the agenda and included in bills; the board also discussed a 150‑year-old time capsule whose relocation during water-tower construction is unknown.

Under new business, trustees proposed dates for Junk Week: either May 9 or May 23 for spring and September 19 for fall; staff will check with Dalton about dates and start times before the board finalizes scheduling.

In old business, Trustee Kevin Burdette asked whether the village board can make donations. Brad Cole (IML) responded that donations may be made if they are placed on the agenda and are included in bills and in the village’s best interest. The board also discussed a historical time capsule placed about 150 years earlier that was moved when the water tower was built; current members do not know where it was relocated.
