PROCEEDINGS OF THE VILLAGE BOARD MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 2026 1306 Clerk-Treasurer Report: None Trustee comments: Trustee Zurfluh stated the Board might want to consider removing “Old Business” and “New Business” from the agendas. There has been an issue with other municipalities bringing up motions and discussion on topics that are not specifically listed on the agenda. Trustee Radtke stated that the YMCA demolition is going well. He asked if someone could reach out to the YMCA to see if they can find someone to develop the property rather than donating the property to the Village (which he heard was the plan).
