CORRESPONDENCE – The clerk received the Water Tower Condition report, Nitrate Trend Document from NDEE, LARM Renewal Resolution/insurance quote, an a burn site inspection report from NDWEE.
CLERK REPORT – Quarterly Reports are completed and filed.  Clerk is working on budget and waiting on Corporate Post Office Owner to respond with executed licensing document to complete NDOR permit for message board at post office.
Village Maintenance Report – Heyen reported that the well pumps processed 1,799,000 gallons of water with pumps running for 309 hours, 210,000 gallons pumped to the lagoons.  The lift station processed 804,000 gallons of waste water.
Heyen reported that he has been in contact with NeRWA about the lagoon situation.  Low lagoon cells have been reported as a common problem in rural communities.  When they did a measurement together, they noticed that the fixed gauge is 8 inches short, so the extra water being pumped into the lift station the lagoons are close to be where they should be.
Heyen reported that it has been taking all his time to keep up with the mowing, so the wall between th4e Post Office and Village lot will be readdressed in September.
Fire/Rescue Report: NTR
Union United Inc. Report: The number of carts available for our annual golf tournament will determine how many people will be able to register for the event.

Old Business: Chairman Seyler had a discussion with Nehawka’s Chairman Neu at the Union Board’s request about the interlocal agreement pending between the Villages and Nehawka Rescue Department.  Neu reported that the average rescue call responded to is about two rescue calls per month and doesn’t warrant a second ambulance.  Seyler shared that the reason Union was involved was to reduce the burden of the second ambulance and if there won’t be redundancy, Union will not be entering into the agreement for financial support due to the small amount of property tax dollars Union takes in.

Hill motioned to reject the execution of an interlocal agreement with Nehawka for Rescue Services. 2nd by Feek.  By Roll, Trustee votes as follows: Seyler – Aye, Feek – Aye, Fritschle – Aye, Ruby-Absent, Hill – Aye. Motion approved.	


New Business:  No New Business

Hill motioned to adjourn at 7:20pm.  2nd by Feek. By Roll, Trustee votes as follows: Seyler – Aye, Feek – Aye, Fritschle – Absent, Ruby-Absent, Hill – Aye. Motion approved.

The next regular meeting is scheduled for August 13, 2025 at the Union Fire Hall.  The Meeting Notice and Agenda will be posted for the public at the Village Office, the Union Junktion, and the Union Post Office August 8, 2025.
