Wittenberg Village Board changes meeting days

The day of the week has changed for Wittenberg Village Board meetings.

Board meetings are currently held on the first and third Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. Starting in October, the meetings will take place the Monday of those weeks.

The meetings are being changed in order to meet board members’ schedules.

“We are changing the meetings because Theresa (Gatz) can’t make them,” said board trustee Barb Buchholz.

“I can’t make Tuesdays either,” said board trustee Marlene Wepner. “I am struggling to make them now.”

Changing the meeting days to Mondays also gives the board an opportunity for a quorum, if a majority of the board members are present.

Depending on how the meetings match up with schedules of board members, there is a possibility for a change in the future.

“We switched it many times,” said board trustee Paul Yaeger. “If we don’t like it, we can switch it back.”

According to board trustee David Timm, changing the day that meetings are held would give everyone an opportunity to participate in them.

“We just thought that the two girls (Wepner and Gatz) would be able to attend more meetings,” said Timm.

Due to prior commitments for September, the board agreed to conduct the first Monday meeting on Oct. 4.

The decision was unanimously approved with Gatz absent.
