Village Utility Commission approves minutes and payment of bills; commissioners question specific invoices

The Village Utility Commission on July 29 approved minutes from its May 27 regular meeting and the July 20 joint Village Board meeting, and approved the payment of bills after members asked questions about several invoices.

Motions to approve the May 27 minutes and the July 20 joint meeting minutes carried by voice vote (May 27 motion: made by B. Bohr, second by A. Berens; July 20 motion: made by M. Telford, second by B. Bohr). Commissioners then reviewed bill payments; items specifically called out for discussion included Check 49609 (River Country Cooperative — diesel for the water plant generator), Check 49670 (VanderWaal Law — Well #5 deed restriction), Check 49717 (Village Utility Payments for water and wastewater plants), and Checks 49627 and 49699 (Strand Associates — Well #5 invoices). A motion to approve payment of bills was made by B. Bohr, seconded by D. Seiler, and passed by voice vote.

The actions reflect routine governance and fiscal oversight rather than any vote split being recorded in the minutes. The commission scheduled its next regular meeting for Aug. 26, 2026, and adjourned at 5:37 p.m.
