The board approved the treasurer's report, payment of bills, temporary borrowing, and various licenses. New business included the approval for the EJAA to construct a new batter's cage at the community park, contingent upon addressing the status of the existing structure.

The regular board meeting involved several key actions and discussions. The board unanimously approved the treasurer's report and the payment of bills. Financial approvals included temporary borrowing and a 10% payroll increase for an individual, justified by anticipated savings from health insurance premiums. Operational approvals included the building inspection report and the contract for hosted email services with Computer Troubleshooters. The board also approved the Zoning Board of Appeals variance extension for the meat market parking lot and concurred with the Town of Eden's land division for Bark Central Llc. The approval for Handle CSM was tabled until the next meeting. Future topics include further investigation into installing a cluster box on Pine St. next spring and continued research on a chicken ordinance.

The key discussion focused on a request presented by Cal Herrmann to extend his existing parking lot over the Village Ordinance boundary of 10 feet from the property line toward the roads of B and V. The Village consulted with the Fond du Lac County Highway Commissioner, who advised maintaining a minimum of a couple of feet from the property line and staying outside any back slope of the ditch. The Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved the parking lot extension, incorporating the Highway Commissioner's recommendation.

The 2026 Village of Eden Caucus was called to order. The primary focus of the meeting was the nomination process for three Trustee positions. Nominees put forward and subsequently approved unanimously included Matt Bonen, Joe Preston, and Owen Gellings. Nominations were then closed, and the meeting was adjourned.
