Business
1. Chairperson Wallace reviewed the Public Works budgets first. A United Lab invoice needs to be
reclassified to another account; the dam needs to be reclassified so that it doesn’t need to be inspected
every year. Wallace ask Halbrucker to contact MSA and get a price so we can budget for this in 2027.
Halbrucker reviewed a few more line items for the Committee and answered questions.
Rec. Director O’Brien went over some fund-raising ideas she has for this summer with the
Committee, reviewed the beach and how that will be handled this summer with a beach house
attendant. O’Brien is also going to attend a Town of Palmyra meeting to introduce herself and discuss
her programs.
Fire Chief Mike Gartzke and Public Safety Director Paul Blount answered questions about the
fire/ems budget. Gartzke would like to someone add a line item to the budget showing what the Town
of Palmyra receives in 2% fire dues so that when the dept. gets audited by the state we can show that
we spent that money on the specific items required. The Town is required to notify us of the amount
they get for 2% dues
Wallace/Pfahler motion to adjourn at 7:48 pm. All ayes-motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Laurie Mueller,
Village Clerk/Treasurer
