Committee of the Whole Council November Meeting
The Committee of the Whole Council will meet Wednesday evening, November 6 at 6:00 pm in Council Chambers at Village Hall. This is a special meeting to review the 2025 budget.
The village may have an approved budget before the fiscal year starts. Sidewalks might get some much-needed attention. Grove Hill Park still not complete after four-and-a-quarter years. Details and more in my notes from last night’s village council meeting.
Village Council Late October Meeting
Village Council met Monday evening and caught up on the 2025 budget, some sidewalk projects, and more.
Village Budget
The village budget for 2025 is nearly complete and a meeting of the Committee of the Whole will be scheduled during the first week of November to review. The budget will remain on readings for the November 11, November 25, and December 9 meeting of Council. If all goes according to plan it will be passed on December 9 and the village will start the new fiscal year with an approved budget for the first time in ages. (Possibly ever? If you know the answer, please share.)
Sidewalks
Rob Jamieson shared that the 2024 sidewalk program is underway, with approximately 700 linear feet of sidewalk being replaced in the Senlac Hills neighborhood.
He also said that for 2025 the Streets & Service Department will conduct a village-wide sidewalk assessment to identify damaged or unsafe areas in need of replacement. They have found a new source for sandstone slabs, and are updating the cost-sharing policy for homeowners who want to maintain that historic material.
If you have concerns about specific areas please let me know and I will make sure they are included on this list.
