Albion's Board of Trustees met April 30 with a financial record that, in place of debate over policy or personnel, consists of the village treasurer's monthly cash collections summary — a document that nonetheless underscores how heavily the village leans on water and sewer bills to keep its books balanced. The report shows the village collected $657,292.33 in total cash payments. Utility billing made up $421,408.16 of that figure, more than every other revenue category combined. That utilities total breaks down further into $256,817.63 recorded under Water and $67,970.24 under Sewer, separate from base-charge lines of $59,278.06 for water and $36,490.98 for sewer, plus smaller penalty, meter-fee, and account-setup charges. Checks were by far the most common way payments arrived, totaling $538,978.42. Bank-draft transactions added $75,213.61, credit cards $27,184.64, cash $15,652.92, and money orders $262.74. The report also lists $178,890.92 recorded as due from other governments, without specifying which government or program is involved, and $18,956.81 recorded as compensation for a loss, a category the report does not explain. Cemetery revenue was comparatively modest: $6,075.00 in cemetery services and $100.00 from the sale of a lot. The record includes no discussion, question, or vote tied to the report. For a board that spent much of the spring closing out a preliminary 2026-27 budget behind closed doors, the figures are a plain accounting of where the money already coming in is coming from — overwhelmingly, from what residents pay for water and sewer service.
