SELECT VILLAGE BOARD POLICIES AND PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURES A. POLICY 530 Mailbox Access and Responsibilities. Village Board had no questions. B. POLICY 502 Use of Consultants. President Jackett noted the Board had been deviating from the policy—court (President Jackett), boat launch and water quality (Trustee Hoffman), building inspector (Trustee Warosh), auditing (Trustee Burkhard)—but this re quires Village Board approval, which has been given to continue getting work done in a timely manner. Keep in mind you should have approval before contacting any of the consultants. There were no questions. C. POLICY 820 Committee Chair and Secretary Duties. President Jackett noted that two weeks’ notice for agendas was important to provide staff sufficient time to prepare for meetings; and minutes were due two weeks afterward. Agendas change so are usually posted a couple of days before the meeting. Director Grunwald added meeting pay wasn’t issued until all minutes were submitted for the quarter.

The meeting packet included handouts on Robert’s Rules used during Board meetings, highlighting abstentions, which means the person abstaining doesn’t participate in discussion. The Village Board had no questions about the policies. IV. VILLAGE PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS A. REVIEW OF VILLAGE BOARD B. PRIORITIES FOR BOARD AND STAFF President Jackett asked if the Village Board had any changes in how things were done (add or drop), changes in how he did things or the Committees or staff, or things they wanted to keep the same. He asked about the Board’s priorities, noted they had quite a bit in the works and maybe wanted to finish those items. The accountant was on the next Finance Committee agenda for an audit presentation. Finance and Budget Committee Chair Burkhard stated his committee would focus on getting the budget process started no later than October, possibly September, once the 2025 audit was completed and continue looking at ways to automate and streamline some of the financial procedures so the Clerk-Treasurer had adequate time to accomplish those things. He wanted the Board to have adequate, reconciled financials so the Board could have eight months of actual figures during budget review. Human Resources and Public Safety Committee Chair Warosh indicated the Committee would work on the Employee Handbook now that he had the first draft. They would also update the short-term housing ordinance with changes approved at the State level. Currently, work would proceed to fill the pending vacancy in the building inspector position. Public Works and Utilities Committee Chair Hoffman reported the Committee was working on finding a new engineering services provider, water/wastewater issues, and the boat launch replacement. Also mentioned were construction of pickleball courts, installation of a permanent generator for Westview Lift Station, and purchase of a new tractor. Trustee Burkhard noted at Board level he was interested in the Tax Incremental District and avoiding early closure. President Jackett added there would be repayments to the Village, and the Board should consider how to use tax increment for improvements services the TID. Trustee Holzwart appreciated President Jackett’s ability to keep focused on priority tasks. Prior Board’s had big goals, but things seemed scattershot as far as getting projects completed. V.
