Board meetings are open to the public and are held every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month.

The meetings are held at the new Village Board office located at the Learning Center on the south side of town. 

Official agendas are posted the day before at the Post Office, Gas Station, and Village Office. Prior to the posting of the agenda, meeting items can be added to the meeting. At the end of each meeting is a Public Comment Section. Attendees have three minutes to speak about anything at this time. Further discussion on the topic can then be added to the next board meeting.  

The agenda is posted at the Elmwood C-Store, the post office, and the Village office.

Area News    

     I've attached a flier about a Syracuse, NE family needing medical help. The husband, Eric Fass, was injured at the Otoe county fair 15 months ago resulting in a TBI & his throat & airway collapsing. His wife, Amanda, needs to return to work SOON to keep their health insurance.

They are looking for an RN or LPN with tracheostomy experience to come to their home southwest of Syracuse & care for Eric M-F 7:30 am - 5 pm. Since Eric is now on Medicaid, the RN or LPN needs to be employed by Maxim Healthcare. Eric uses an electrolarynx to speak, has a good mind, & is a fighter to get better for his family.

He hopes to return to farming & being a Syracuse volunteer fireman. I am helping spread the word about the Fass family's needs. I wondered if Scott or you or anyone you know might be interested. I thought it might work for a medical/RN student.
