Progress!

Several new and positive developments occurred since the Annual Board meeting that introduced the new Mayor, Ms. Jacobs-Wilke, and two new board members, Trustees Schulte and Williams. First, the board received the end-of-year Budget Reports for all previous years going back to 2017-2018. These reports provide the board the ability to reveal spending trends as well as revenue patterns.  In addition, the board has begun to receive monthly budget reports. These current reports will permit the board to ascertain which departments do and do not manage to stay within budget.  I thank the Treasurer, Ms Gates-Shult, for both developments.

In addition, the board passed a resolution to update the EDU assignments of all village water and sewer accounts that use a “based on prior year consumption” rating. Once this update is complete, by March 1, it will be possible to adjust the water and sewer rates, and possibly the fee structure, to more accurately reflect usage trends.
