Trustees McAlpine, Dudek, Walrath, Weinhammer and Collier voted yes on the motion; the mover and seconder were not stated in the meeting record. The board then moved on to staff and department updates.

Mayor (unnamed) recognized Brian Simmons for 10 years of service in the military and praised his work overseeing the village's zoning and planning appeals functions. The mayor also introduced Nicole Collingbourne as the deputy village clerk and said Nick Radcliffe will start as the village's new assistant village administrator; the mayor noted Radcliffe is coming from the city of Maringo.

In a staff update, Doctor Simmons briefed the board on the fiscal year 2026 budget timetable and upcoming events. \"We're currently in developing our fiscal year 26 budget. Workshop is planned for next Saturday, March 15 at 9AM, that the public is welcome to attend,\" Doctor Simmons said. He also noted the Hillstrider half marathon will be March 16 at 8:30 a.m. starting at Cary Grove High School and encouraged residents to respond to a regional transportation survey from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning.

Doctor Simmons added that planning for the Cary Main Street Fest 2025 continues, that several sponsorship opportunities have sold out, and that the village's spring cleanup will be Saturday, April 26 for areas south of the railroad tracks and Saturday, May 3 for areas north of the tracks. \"That opportunity, again is offered as part of our annual waste hauler contracts,\" Doctor Simmons said.

No department heads reported items requiring board action at the March 4 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","03.04.2025 Village Board","oneSentenceSummary","The Cary Village Board on March 4 approved consent agenda items A through G by unanimous roll call, with Trustees McAlpine, Dudek, Walrath, Weinhammer and Collier voting yes.","taxTitle","Cary, McHenry County, Illinois","taxId",70300,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6299893,"Resident urges review of alleged failed police investigation and building inspections; mayor offers to discuss",168,127000,295000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2495064-0c5143fde4c710d4a7e1805a000208c6&start=127&end=295","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2495064-0c5143fde4c710d4a7e1805a000208c6/thumbnail_127000.jpg","/articles/6299893/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Resident-urges-review-of-alleged-failed-police-investigation-and-building-inspections-mayor-offers-to-discuss","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6299893-9accb72cd752d2788c14957ba3dcfacc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193520&Signature=kCHA-0ZiLOZmQKMv8CRXoYzN0WftkKXfeEOPuQWmbBHCoaQkgkO6TryvizemaE8au2ih8CD5jbgit~1uSvJbxoiblNJBkvJXxa-lj1niEZipLUInYHwbhVojeyMuDh42Ir5n8lxRnw7bTVl97xa93wEJbc-Gnec3Vgb4mSvkaNGX4qP04ewYfBo7yfOrXjFvrhk6OImsN9Ec-R39LlMS7R-kZAf7iID0U6NTFEOuSVxedS2ZIAuxkobC5jEaMK5QLZx-jzy~UQClP3CrIeCQ-m4Y72MrkSO-Gc30S0KGEVOTJtMLgA15c3aZLBX8TjrW7Pds6SL-LO8Kfe~0vmsZRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A resident who identified himself in the meeting as Mr. Culler told the Cary Village Board on March 4 that he had reported what he described as a \"failed police investigation for felony fraud, for forgery,\" and said a building permit related to his case was invalid and required inspections had not been done properly.

\"I've been in here dealing with frauds, scammers, and a criminal complaint that won't get looked at,\" Mr. Culler said. He said he submitted an email to the village on Jan. 20 and had not received a substantive response: \"I did. Submitted the email. January 20. No response. Oh, I got an email back that said, we'll get back to you.\"

The mayor invited the resident to speak further at the microphone and offered to discuss the matter privately: \"If you'd like to call me, I would be happy to discuss it,\" the mayor said. When asked by a trustee whether the mayor had spoken with the state's attorney about the matter, the mayor replied, \"Yes.\" No board motion or formal action related to the resident's allegations was recorded at the meeting.

Mr. Culler closed his remarks by stressing his view that he was the victim and that he had sought help from the village without success: \"I'm not the bad guy here. I'm the victim. I came here looking for help. That's what I get. Nada.\"","A resident identified as Mr. Culler told the Cary Village Board on March 4 that he has reported alleged felony fraud, forgery and building-permit and inspection failures and said he received no substantive response to an email he submitted Jan. 20.

\"Routing the overflow traffic off of 31, which is already a nightmare, and sending it through a residential neighborhood is not a solution,\" said Susan Clark, a Cary resident and president of her homeowners association, during the public-comment portion of the meeting. She added that the neighborhood already sees speeding and drivers running stop signs and that many children live on the street.

Mayor (unnamed) and village staff emphasized that the idea remains only a concept. \"Nothing's been decided yet. We talked to a developer that was interested in it. They haven't submitted anything,\" the mayor said.

Brian Simmons, who oversees the village's zoning and planning appeals functions, told the board that the concept presented in December was an early step and that any developer must submit a formal petition before the village begins the public hearing process. \"Once they submit a formal petition to the village, there's a public hearing ... There's public notice required for that hearing. And also part of our development process, there's the opportunity for the developer to host an open house,\" Simmons said, adding that the open house would be advertised to the public.

Residents asked whether they would receive advance notice. The mayor and staff said neighbors would be notified when a petition is filed and encouraged residents to attend committee meetings and public hearings to provide input.

No formal petition or application related to changes at Route 31 was presented or voted on at the March 4 meeting.","Residents told the Cary Village Board on March 4 that a concept to route overflow traffic from Route 31 onto New Haven Drive would worsen speeding and safety. Village staff said developers have not filed a formal petition and that a public hearing and notice would be required if they do.","actionData","errors"]
