The Chesaning Village Council approved $148,323.65 in accounts payable and cleared three requests to use village property at its regular meeting on July 7, according to the synopsis minutes posted by the village.

The minutes list all seven council members present — Navarre, Larner, Danek, Bueche, Wenzel, Hoover and Chludil — with no absences. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. and adjourned at 8 p.m.

The consent agenda, which the council approved, contained the minutes of the June 16, 2026 meeting and the July 7, 2026 accounts payable total of $148,323.65. The synopsis does not break out individual payments. There were no public statements and no items for introduction, according to the document.

Four action items

Under items for action, the minutes record that Austin Brown requested use of Showboat Park for a bounce house event. The council approved the request with a standard $100 fee; the minutes state the motion was "made and carried."

Brett Russell requested use of S. Chapman St. for the Farmers Market, and separately requested use of Showboat Park for a CAPA event on Aug. 11, 12 and 13. The minutes state both motions to approve were made and carried.

The council also approved the appointment of Brandon Thompson to the Zoning Board of Appeals. As with the other action items, the synopsis records the motion as carried but does not list how each member voted or give a vote margin.

The synopsis minutes were submitted by Village Clerk Tina Powell and approved by Village Administrator Tom Ebenhoeh, and were recorded by Powell.

The document lists the council's next meeting as July 21, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. The village notes that copies of the full meeting minutes, which would contain more detail than the synopsis, are available on request at the village office, open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
