Here are the minutes provided by the board:

Motion made by Carol O’Dell to approve July 28, 2025, minutes. Seconded by Janet Pflaum. All voting Aye.

The Treasurer Report and cash in bank as of the end of July were presented. The Village Treasurer informed the Trustees that the July report is correct, and the category Other Financial Sources have negative amounts which the balance sheet gives the details. She said the $38.00 was incorrect and had been fixed by Locis but keeps showing up. The negative amounts showing is for activity done in the previous month (such as water and sewer being billing in one month and remaining balance collected in the following month). The Village Auditor, Mike Ginder did say that a transfer of funds from General to Water & Sewer could be done. Cindy said doing a transfer would not reflect the true numbers on the reports and until the money is recouped the negative numbers would continue to show up on the report. A revised June Treasurer Report was presented for review. Cindy offered to print a balance sheet monthly and/or a comparison report. Trustee Pipher asked if money should be moved. Cindy said if a transfer is done the report wouldn’t show true amounts. Trustee Ulm mentioned they need to see actual numbers. Cindy said it is the Trustees’ decision if they want to have a transfer done. No action taken regarding a fund transfer. Motion made by Ashley Pipher to accept the Treasurer and Cash in Bank Reports for July as presented. Seconded by Paul Summers. All voting Aye.
