Special Board Meeting Page 1 of 1 10/06/25 Village of Holmen Board Proceedings October 6, 2025 President Barlow called the Holmen Special Village Board meeting to order at 6:00 pm on October 6, 2025, at the Holmen Village Hall. Board members present: Patrick Barlow, Rich Anderson, Micah Wyss, Dawn Kulcinski, Sam Kube, Doug Jorstad and Travis Elam. Also present were Administrator Heinig, Public Works Director/Engineer Dahl, Chief Collins, Park & Rec Director Geary and Director of Operations & Finance/Clerk/Treasurer Hornberg. Administrator Heinig presented the 2026 proposed budget, highlighting major changes and capital outlay requests from each department. He provided a thorough review of the levy strategy for the Holmen Area Fire Department, which has been certified by the Department of Revenue and will be implemented in partnership with the Town of Holland. The proposed change would result in an increase of $86,876 from the Village of Holmen and $7,995 from the Town of Holland for the fire district. Heinig also discussed the draft Public Facilities Needs Assessment & Impact Fee Study, which is scheduled for review at a Public Hearing this Thursday. He outlined the infrastructure included in the study and the resulting proposed fee structure. While confirming that the figures in the study are accurate, he advised the Board that immediate implementation is not feasible due to the significant increase. He reiterated the recommendation to approve the study as proposed and phase in the fee increases gradually based on an economic strategy to be determined annually during the budget process. Heinig acknowledged the hard work Director of Operations/Clerk/Treasurer Hornberg dedicated to preparing the budget and complimented the department heads for their cooperative efforts to ensure the needs of the entire Village are met each year. After all questions were addressed, no additional changes were requested to the proposed budget. Dawn Kulcinski/Rich Anderson motioned to direct the 2026 Budget to Public Hearing which will be held on November 13, 2025, at 6:30 pm. The motion carried 7-0. Board members expressed their gratitude for the hard work, as well as the thorough explanation of the budget. Doug Jorstad/Dawn Kulcinski motioned to adjourn the meeting at 7:51 pm. The motion carried 7-0. Angela A. Hornberg Director of Operations & Finance/Clerk/Treasurer
