Cost of Village storage building use is tied to electricity

Posted by Staff on Monday, March 3, 2025

By Paula Pyzik Scott

A recent Council item (page 14 of February 18 packet) creating an agreement for use of a storage building by Keith's Hardware had me scratching my head. Was there to be no rent charged for the building?

An email exchange with Village Administrator Jamie Hall has provided further explanation for the arrangement. As has been done with past tenants including the previous owner of the hardware store, Keith's Hardware will pay for electricity used in the Public Works building which includes lights, use of maintenance shop equipment (welder, drills, grinders, etc) along with trickle charge equipment for trucks and door openers. 

The December 2024 electricity bill was $374.50 and the size of the building used by Keith's Hardware is 80' x 60' (4,800 square feet).
