Withee Village Board recognizes Lindgren for years of service

Posted

The Withee Village Board held their regular meeting on Monday, April 14. Before the Financial Statements were approved, Clerk Ellen Niemi noted the transfers to the Local Government Investment Pool. She also said that she paid as many bills as she could before the meeting as Everett Lindgren would be removed from the accounts and Larry Klabon added and that process would take a couple of days.
Under Committee Reports, Trustee Bill Kroeplin reported that the library board is getting ready for Withee Days.
Under the Police Report, Chief of Police Patrick Fehlman said they had been dealing with a lot of animals at large complaints, including a case where the dogs have been loose multiple times, truancy issues at school and a fraud case.
For Public Works, the board looked at a potential ordinance that was requested by DPW Derek Schad in regard to Culvert Construction Standards. Trustee Randy Shelton asked a question about the section on endwalls having to be provided with metal aprons. He said many people in the village use rocks. The board approved sending the ordinance to village attorney Bonnie Wachsmuth. Once she has reviewed the ordinance, the board will approve it.
An operator license was approved for Bryan Kell. An amendment to the copier contract with EO Johnson was approved. The contract will go from a quarterly to an annual billing. EO Johnson had noticed that when it was billed quarterly, there were quarters that the village went over the amount of copies allowed before paying extra and other quarters where they were under. The annual billing should eliminate this issue.
Clerk Niemi reported that 177 people had voted in the spring election and that Larry Klabon was elected village president and Nancy Amacher trustee. The Organizational Meeting will be held on April 30 following the Board of Review. The board approved removing Everett Lindgren as a signer on the accounts at Forward Bank and adding Larry Klabon.
The meeting ended with Everett Lindgren being recognized for his 16 years of service on the village board.
