The Iola Village Board, comprising local elected officials, will convene on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 5:30 p.m. in the Community Room of Iola Village Hall at 180 S. Main St., to deliberate on a resolution authorizing the Lake District to apply for a harvester grant, address a parcel request at 144 Depot Street, approve an operator’s permit for Ronald R. Krause, and greenlight hiring for the Police Department.
The meeting will commence with a call to order, followed by an open meeting statement reminding attendees that proceedings comply with Wisconsin Statutes for public notice. Participants will then recite the Pledge of Allegiance, observe a moment of silence, and conduct a roll call to confirm attendance.
A public presentation segment will allow residents up to two minutes each to address the board on relevant matters.
Under new business, the board will first consider a resolution permitting the Lake District to submit an application for a harvester grant.
