The Boyceville Village Board on May 11 voted to reduce listing prices for Sykora Lane lots by 20% and paused a proposed sludge‑removal project pending further financial information.
Trustee Brad Stevens moved to reduce all Sykora Lane listing prices by 20 percent; Trustee Al Kelly seconded and the motion carried. The minutes record the approval but do not include a roll‑call tally.
On the sludge‑removal project, Mike from contractor AMS presented recommendations for work on ponds 2, 3 and 5, advising the board to begin at the back portion of the site because the original 2022 bid work affects sequencing. Mike said phasing could allow some portions to be completed at no additional cost, that the bacteria required for treatment would be cultivated on site, and that AMS estimates about 100 days to complete the work. The board requested additional financial details from Ehlers and tabled the item until the next meeting; Public Works will coordinate power to the site in the meantime.
The board also noted that the Community Activities Committee will meet on Monday the 18th to discuss the farmers market; the board expressed general interest in keeping the market but tabled formal decisions.
Routine business earlier in the meeting included approval of expenses and the April 27 minutes. The meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
