The Board of Review meeting focused on the formal closure of the 2025 Board of Review for the Village of Harrison.

The commission held a public hearing and subsequent discussion regarding a Conditional Use Permit for Christ the Rock Community Church to install a 300kW solar energy system, which was recommended for approval subject to several zoning, permitting, and site restoration conditions. Additionally, the commission reviewed the monthly zoning report.

The board meeting will cover a presentation on the 2025 audit findings, the appointment of a new member to the Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals, and monthly reports from Fire Rescue and the Calumet County Sheriff's Department. New business includes a conditional use permit for a church, a road closure request for a community event, facility updates for the Fire Station and Village Hall, various license applications, and a park rental fee waiver. Furthermore, the board will discuss land purchase negotiations, the 2026 asphalt resurfacing program, procurement of a new plow truck, and revisions to municipal finance codes.

The Board of Review meeting agenda includes the election of a chairperson and vice-chairperson. The primary agenda item is the adjournment of the current session until a later date due to the assessment roll not being completed at this time.

The board meeting addressed several administrative and operational topics. Key discussions included the appointment of a board member to the Appleton Fox Cities MPO Policy Board for a two-year term, and the conduction of a public hearing regarding proposed special assessments for public improvements on Woodland Road to serve the Farmer Field shelter. Concerns were raised by a property owner regarding the inclusion of her parcel in the assessment, leading to a discussion on the deferral of payment and the installation of utility laterals.
