VI. NEW BUSINESS
A) Re-Consider Approval for the Purchase of a new Kubota Extended Bed Equipment & Re-
Allocation of Remaining 2026 CIP Funds for Village Hall A/C Chiller.
Staff recommended reallocating funding originally planned to replace the A/C Chiller replacement at Village Hall due to
the increased and now unbudgeted cost we received. Replacement of the A/C Chiller will be deferred into future years

balance on a new Kubota Extended Bed for DPW summer operations.

Extended Bed Equipment & Re-Allocation of Remaining 2026 CIP Funds for Village Hall A/C Chiller. The motion
carried unanimously.

Resources (WDNR). The motion carried unanimously.
