Live at St. Joseph Village Board, Sept. 23 2025

I am here so you don’t have to be.
It’s annual audit time.
You can watch the Youtube if you want to see the hard numbers. I only care about the outcome.

The village’s huge “leap” in revenue came from capital grants.

It was a successful audit.

Contract to sell property is delayed. “The bottom line is there is a provision they are asking us to put in the contract that says if they don’t get certain permits they can get out of the deal” Lawyer says they have been working together to make it something both parties are happy with. Look for this at the next meeting.

They are awarding road contracts that are funded with motor fuel taxes. #fixthoseroads
