The Village of Albion Board of Trustees met briefly Thursday evening to address the financial mechanics of the village’s utilities, though residents will have to wait a bit longer to see how those discussions might impact their monthly bills. Mayor Angel Javier Jr. called the special meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. on September 4 at Village Hall, 35 East Bank Street. The board’s primary public business focused on the proposed water and sewer rates. While the minutes indicate a discussion took place regarding the proposed rates, the board did not bring a resolution to a vote during this session. This suggests the board is likely in the early stages of evaluating potential adjustments to the fees residents pay for essential services. The public portion of the meeting was short, lasting just over an hour. At 6:44 p.m., Trustee Greg Bennett made a motion to enter into executive session, a closed-door format allowed by state law for specific matters such as personnel issues. The motion was seconded by Trustee Tim McMurray. According to the minutes, the purpose of the executive session was to allow Terry Wilbert to sit in regarding a personnel matter. State law permits boards to discuss the employment, history, or disciplinary record of a specific individual in private, provided no formal votes are taken behind closed doors. The board remained in executive session for 37 minutes, exiting at 7:21 p.m. Upon returning to open session, Trustee McMurray moved to adjourn the meeting, with Trustee Bennett seconding the motion. The meeting adjourned at 7:21 p.m. Mayor Javier and Trustees Gabalski, Bennett, and McMurray were present. Trustee Joyce Riley was excused from the meeting. Department heads present included Water Treatment Plant Chief Operator Levi Boyer and Park & Recreation Director John Grillo.
