Monday, July 13th, 2020 -- 9:17 AM
-The Granton Village Board heard the Treasurer’s Report at their meeting last week.According to the unofficial minutes from the meeting, the deposit and expense report was presented and bank statements have not been received. The checking balance, according to the clerk, is $93,150.53, the money market balance is $528,405.01, the cemetery CD is $16,927.29, the CDBG balance is $32,175.22, and the library balance is $38,405.25. Also, the softball association pays $1,000 rent for the use of the ball diamond and concession stand. This covers the expenses for water, sewer, garbage, electricity to run the walk in coolers, freezers and lights at the ball diamond, phone/security system and labor for liming and dragging fields and cleaning. The softball association has not been able to pay for expenses incurred and this year with the COVID shut down it is expected to be worse.
The village board has approved the leagues to play this year but they have discussed how to handle rent. June expenses to date include $812.30 to add coolant and repair the walk-in cooler. Water, sewer and garbage collections are $339.72. Excel Energy bill is not yet available and the clerk has not had TDS turn on the phones/security to reduce costs. The village will need to adjust the budget. The village president will ask the softball association to attend the next meeting and the board will discuss a plan of action.
