Consent agenda
The board approved the consent agenda, which included the minutes for the Aug. 7 regular meeting and presentation of accounts and claims against the village. A trustee made a motion to approve the items on the consent agenda and the motion carried by roll call.

Packer City / dump truck repair invoice
Public works staff reported the village’s dump truck had brake problems; once the truck was opened up, additional work was needed and the total repair cost exceeded $5,000. Trustees moved to accept the invoice for the repair (the packet and meeting audio indicate the final cost exceeded $5,000; an exact line-item amount as read at the microphone was not clearly captured in the transcript). The motion to accept the invoice was seconded and carried by roll call.

Appointment
Trustee moved to appoint Shauna Moller (motion made on the record), and the appointment was seconded and approved by voice vote: “All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carried.”

Closed session
A trustee moved to go into closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) (considering employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction). The motion was seconded and carried on roll call.

Votes and tallies (as recorded in the meeting)
- Consent agenda: motion carried (individual roll-call names not specified in the transcript).
- Dump-truck invoice: motion carried (final amount stated in discussion as exceeding $5,000; transcript figures were unclear).
- Appointment of Shauna Moller: motion carried by voice vote (unanimous in favor as recorded).
- Motion to enter closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c): motion carried on roll call.

Where the transcript did not capture full roll-call individual votes, this summary reports outcomes and available tallies. Trustees instructed staff to proceed with necessary follow-up tasks tied to each action (accounts processing, invoice payment, personnel matters to be discussed in closed session).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","VB 8 21 25","oneSentenceSummary","At the Aug. 21 Village of Hortonville meeting trustees approved the consent agenda, accepted a higher-than-expected dump-truck repair invoice, appointed Shauna Moller, and voted to enter closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c).","taxTitle","Village of Hortonville, Outagamie County, Wisconsin","taxId",56047,"location","Wisconsin","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6482178,"Trustees discuss developer agreement for 217 West Main Street; no action taken",406,1834000,2240000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671266-2993c4a8930f691346722217ff1b40b2&start=1834&end=2240","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671266-2993c4a8930f691346722217ff1b40b2/thumbnail_1834000.jpg","/articles/6482178/Wisconsin/Trustees-discuss-developer-agreement-for-217-West-Main-Street-no-action-taken","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6482178-1a9157b9202ff7fc504f8da8571d7dcf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770956733&Signature=OuVe9mSFg9BEDqs-ng8rI9L4lnmLbA3wMpiG1nfBnRMrLv3JGAAcPcEC8RXDa3wCApINFwbHJLbW4h~4EzMOc61a66S22xtwShHuLPGUGfYn3o-kIjpkqqj7V2kpR7LpJ2gP1boOtsaS1JAp7F6nL58nxOYKdOvqigxdkn7zE9jeqYDppxYOl2thS~618uyaf9xwjYuUPKTZqbz1e9kh34QuPqnCKuQdFlFRxWakoppsAE~zOd-XX12NU~LB~K~qZXIariUXNCm6sz8BcleDaIvPgStFtjpvWLS96BK3lHSVR8Yn8cSdUzUOLIGWVZ2LbXO0mJL~OKuGOVxsRspfJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Hortonville Board of Trustees discussed a 2022 developer agreement connected to 217 West Main Street but did not take action.

Administrator Nathan asked the board to revisit how the village structures property dispositions and incentives after the parcel remained undeveloped following a sale that included a rebate/reimbursement incentive. Nathan said the sale included a staged rebate tied to development milestones (the packet described an original sale price of roughly $11,000 and a rebate schedule discussed at the time), but the parcel has remained an undeveloped lot adjacent to other downtown properties.

Trustees, staff and the village attorney reviewed possible legal and contractual approaches to encourage development while avoiding difficult enforcement. The village attorney described options the village has used or could use in the past: delaying transfer until a development contract is in place, structuring forgivable mortgages tied to performance, requiring public-improvement financial guarantees when public infrastructure is involved, or using memoranda of understanding. The attorney cautioned that reentering property or enforcing forfeiture language is legally difficult and can require litigation, and said guarantees are most effective when tied to public improvements (roads, sewer, water) rather than interior private improvements.

Trustees asked staff to consider options for future dispositions—such as delaying transfer until a contractor contract is signed or structuring stronger financial incentives—and to bring recommendations to a future meeting. No formal motion or vote was taken on the 217 West Main Street matter during the session.","Trustees reviewed the 2022 developer agreement for 217 West Main Street, expressed regret that the property remains undeveloped and discussed possible options for stronger contractual guarantees in future property dispositions; no action was taken.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6482182,"Hortonville trustees approve rezoning of two parcels to downtown district; one member abstains",710,1103000,1813000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671266-2993c4a8930f691346722217ff1b40b2&start=1103&end=1813","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671266-2993c4a8930f691346722217ff1b40b2/thumbnail_1103000.jpg","/articles/6482182/Wisconsin/Hortonville-trustees-approve-rezoning-of-two-parcels-to-downtown-district-one-member-abstains","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6482182-77954cd6b3aa3d60825ff0443a14955f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770956733&Signature=C-OjrdD11g2Jrf-VtY5UsCpsTgpyLudeQLtgN8qvmL222kqc7W8DKlX5bBAPyogGF~JCrMnwpcARXTPBgwUd2GwdQ7xGxiOHFNCuGhDC2mD~nwcYhibCFe4f9zrCEIX6QNzsZyLA9GJ2s~WpfAWiBEO0TPjpK4hvLNEXaKyuzQgd0P6MhP8oS4axjaVNrimhY~ZR~Ef2xHBY37HyMMPEUhk-jdyr8patjRD3BJeyubNRBjZZsfCKpxADZ9PlLei8GeM5Y~fD3I3XIBSh-R~qHTwQ5HcUsWodJ1qINzGVBn1OxAbZgodBt~ph35EEbSaYGj~yUEZ41DaptNkfWvQ~Ow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Hortonville Board of Trustees voted Aug. 21 to rezone two parcels (parcel IDs discussed in the packet) from C-1 General Commercial to the D Downtown zoning district following a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Administrator Nathan reported that Planning and Zoning held a public hearing where several nearby business owners and a neighboring homeowner attended. Concerns raised at the hearing focused on allowable uses in the downtown district versus C-1 and whether certain businesses (for example, auto sales/auto shop uses) would be permitted. Nathan said downtown zoning imposes more restrictions; certain uses allowed as-of-right in C-1 would require a conditional-use permit in the downtown district.

Nathan and staff told trustees rezoning would allow the landowner to apply for a village grant administered through the WEDC (Village Economic Development Committee) and that the parcel sits adjacent to existing downtown parcels and a planned trail and stream improvements. Trustees discussed the pros and cons of expanding the downtown district and the risks of spot zoning; staff noted contiguous expansion is typical practice when rezoning.

Trustee motioned and the board approved the rezoning; the roll-call vote was recorded as carried with one trustee abstaining (the abstention was recorded as due to absence from a prior meeting). No individual roll-call votes were named in the transcript.

Staff indicated no immediate additional zoning text changes were planned, but said future broader code updates could revisit district boundaries and permitted uses. The board asked staff to continue monitoring downtown expansion issues as reconstruction and other downtown projects move forward.","The Village Board approved a planning commission recommendation to rezone two parcels from C-1 General Commercial to D Downtown zoning district to make properties eligible for a village grant program; the motion passed with one abstention.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6482188,"Hortonville trustees choose color, sign and brick direction for Memorial Square design",728,98000,826000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671266-2993c4a8930f691346722217ff1b40b2&start=98&end=826","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671266-2993c4a8930f691346722217ff1b40b2/thumbnail_98000.jpg","/articles/6482188/Wisconsin/Hortonville-trustees-choose-color-sign-and-brick-direction-for-Memorial-Square-design","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6482188-fe1761d291ba26489b76e54e6ed093e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770956733&Signature=FG25kQU0bj-o0gmfUF~iRHo4pYbBD3tWzOetNJS7GQJ13x6dVjQTGSJztebsPYSAoAMiydzsfLrcUJDbcAPX7oaBGvW35iNwE8dzVg5oWa973ihHy3bCdwCZE~mIOmt9CY73mXw0bAD3wdQMt-LNS2xXP3cLgz5DuFp-rvhko7chMXDJ4I9noTL~3TcSR3cPNeyZW-F78-cYuXwrxWhuefJHw6N5ZGNx3mM2FnWaSSMvsWsAwsFE4oItU9PhGxnWN7SsmZnwyJD~f~0ZqdjpDpPsHJAM~cf6PN75rmcUjWsWAaJEJbiWeBpfLg~jWBhFXwxuqKmsJdjuZfBBl7PKrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees for the Village of Hortonville reviewed final design options for Memorial Square on Aug. 21 and gave staff direction to finalize details so contractors can begin ordering materials.

The board discussed two primary shade-sail color palettes presented by the project designer: one leaning toward beige with black seating and a complementary turquoise, the other using colors drawn from the village polar-bear logo (greens, blues and yellows). Trustees agreed they preferred a combination approach—incorporating multiple sail colors rather than a single beige option—and asked staff to instruct the designer to make the fountain color coordinate with the selected sails.

Trustees also reviewed two sign options (a light-faced sign and a darker sign with LED backlighting) and debated curvature and placement. The group generally favored the darker sign with LED backlighting but noted the final choice should consider what will be behind the sign once landscaping and park features are installed.

The board considered two masonry wall heights for the sign plinth—about 50 inches and about 70 inches—and discussed vandalism/climb risk, sight lines and cost. Several trustees said the taller (approximately 70-inch) plinth read better in the visual examples; others cautioned the taller option would likely cost more. Trustees instructed staff to request cost estimates for both heights.

Finally, trustees selected a brick color/style identified in the packet as “Number 6 / Saint Luke’s” (described in the packet as a more traditional brick tone) and generally favored black posts and accents to tie the sign and other details together. Staff was directed to proceed with a combined palette (multiple sail colors), the darker sign option with LED backlighting, and to obtain firm cost estimates for both masonry heights before final procurement.

Trustees did not take a formal roll-call vote on these design elements during the meeting; the discussion concluded with staff to return to the next steps and to place final specifications for ordering.","Trustees reviewed final design options for Memorial Square—color of shade sails, fountain color, sign style and brick height/style—and gave staff direction to combine elements and finalize plans for ordering.","actionData","errors"]
