20260824 Village Board Minutes

SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 24TH, 2026 A special meeting of the Argyle Village board was held on Monday, August 24th, 2026, at the Argyle Community Building located at 401 East Milwaukee Street. The meeting was called to order by President Joe Schutte at 6:01 pm. Proper posting was acknowledged. Roll call was taken with Hinojosa & King absent, and Helfvogt arriving late. Reading of the minutes was waived until the monthly meeting in September. Rossing approved the agenda, Ploessl seconded, motion carried. Village trustee Ismael Hinojosa recently messaged Clerk Sandra Flannery to inform the board his current employment has become more difficult for him to make meetings as needed so he feels should resign from the board. His seat will be up in April 2027. Ploessl made a motion to accept Hinojosa’s resignation, Monahan seconded and motion carried. The village’s used dump truck recently broke down while we were using it for the park project and will need major repairs; therefore, we had to rent a truck to get the needed work completed for the park. The village has been looking for what a replacement through Wisconsin Surplus would cost and would like to place bids on a 2006 Sterling from Sussex. Employees Keith Falsey and Jared Johnson made a trip to see the truck which has low miles, is in great shape and provides additional features we can use. Helfvogt made a motion to approve employees bidding not to exceed $40,000.00 for this used Dump Truck, if for any reason the village would not get this vehicle, they could look for another newer Dump Truck and not exceed $50,000.00. A replacement truck will be financed through Woodford State Bank with a rate of 4.2%, 3 annual payments, not to exceed $50,000.00. Ploessl seconded and motion carried. The village received 2 rates; the second rate was from Bank First providing a rate of 5.75% not to exceed $50,000.00, 3 annual payments. The bids for the 2006 Sterling end on Friday. There was no public comment. Sandra Flannery Clerk
