Water and sewer-related costs ran through much of the Albion Village Board's June 10 agenda, which packed in more than a dozen budget-line adjustments alongside its routine business.
The largest item drew $23,754.70 from the village's sewer reserves to pay MRB Group for a landspreading permit. On the revenue side, trustees logged a $20,558.81 increase to a line labeled the "6th PFAS Payment" — the latest in a series the agenda does not further describe. Two smaller lines tied to a water-infrastructure project referenced as "Donegan" grew by $1,544.25 and $479.25, and a $17,907.00 increase covered a utility vehicle purchase from Hebeler Sales and Service.
Other adjustments moved money around rather than added to it. Trustees decreased the mayor's pay line by $6,845.00 "to cover various cost" and shifted $8,500.00 within the personnel budget to fund a new employee position without a net increase. A $10,000.00 payment to Young Explosives Corp came out of the village's July 3rd reserves, which were topped back up separately by $102.58 collected from cash buckets placed around the village. Smaller entries covered workbenches for DPW and APD, a Bullard Park press box, a CHPC website upgrade, board apparel and W-2 processing services.
The board also accepted the resignation of Police Officer Sean S. McElhinny, effective June 2, 2026, and placed five seasonal DPW job applications — from Gary Rhim, Xander Payne, David Lowery, Kole Moore and Todd Skellon — on file for reference for one year. Trustees were also due to take up a mileage-reimbursement request from Jeannette Riley and an item on the cemetery apartment; the agenda does not record what, if anything, was decided on either.
