Economic-development staff presented the requests and said the Government Operations Committee voted unanimously on Feb. 3 to support both funding levels. Mr. Connolly presented the Business Alliance request and noted the committee’s recommendation to the full council; the council approved the service agreement by roll call.

The History Museum’s request for $60,000, unchanged from the prior year, was likewise presented as a committee-supported service agreement. The city attorney/staff said the vote before the council was the formal authorization of the service agreements between the city and each nonprofit for the fiscal year. Both resolutions passed on council roll-call votes.

Council members did not add substantive policy changes to the agreements during the meeting; the approvals implement funding allocations the Government Operations Committee recommended earlier in the year.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council 5-19-2025","oneSentenceSummary","On May 19 the City of Saint Charles City Council authorized service agreements for fiscal year 2025–26: $830,000 to the St. Charles Business Alliance and $60,000 to the St. Charles History Museum, following unanimous committee recommendations.","taxTitle","Saint Charles City, St. Charles County, Illinois","taxId",53340,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6234107,"Council delays decision on Berry House demolition to July 21 after new offers and parking proposals",246,1339000,1585000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3412059-dc4e75b51b46f40b9e46e3785a22bf99&start=1339&end=1585","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3412059-dc4e75b51b46f40b9e46e3785a22bf99/thumbnail_1339000.jpg","/articles/6234107/Illinois/Council-delays-decision-on-Berry-House-demolition-to-July-21-after-new-offers-and-parking-proposals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234107-2883596f17cf131d4e7f05efe2eec217/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144795&Signature=ONGZYxpXNI5LsPh~IJfxPjg3yy8RaGtlfnqtCHaedg2EdvlRIHeGqHXYSOlDE6x9K2xwEn1S1BUr4u0WAOgKr~3E~5nH2vzcKOU33~H7e6sCyzRRJOWAxYPc~2QSFok8BBSUeG2LPQvHrzBQQY3Xtnf~bxQmGj9slRHgAdVQ1bFQvSRs0rZf7OJIzzlNZ6-B6uxUkVCvVp8iZ2PG3QDxWR3B9nD9fRDpaMZWY04pm-AMSr-5c-OxJY903fXTKxYvSoOr7jziHIcZzHbcqv48fVIPzw8Yv202mVZMlNTYv0-jxiH9j3jSLg-Yb6vB3YGpappQGPUeh4EiMZE6ybFfEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Saint Charles City Council on Monday voted to postpone action on a certificate of appropriateness for demolition of 217 Cedar Avenue, known as the Berry House, until the council’s July 21 meeting after new offers to buy the property and proposals to relocate the house emerged and the church identified parking needs that may affect any long-term solution.

Council Member Warburg summarized developments since the Planning and Development Committee approved demolition last week, saying that in the seven days since that committee vote the church received one or more offers to buy the property and separate offers to relocate the Berry House. Warburg said the church asked the city to consider options to address its parking concerns, including changing existing parallel parking on Third Avenue to diagonal parking to create additional spaces.

Warburg and other council members described multiple parties — church representatives, preservation advocates and residents — working over the past week to find a solution that could preserve the house while addressing the church’s operational needs. Council Member Pacheva moved to postpone the item to the July 21 council meeting; Alderman Besner seconded the motion. The council carried the postponement by roll call.

The mayor and council emphasized that the 60-day postponement is intended to give time for the church, preservationists, residents and staff to negotiate options, review offers to purchase or relocate the house and consider parking changes before the council resumes formal action. The Planning and Development Committee had approved demolition for 217 Cedar Avenue pending council approval; the postponement returns the matter for further discussion at the July 21 meeting.","The City of Saint Charles City Council on May 19 voted to postpone consideration of a certificate of appropriateness for demolition of 217 Cedar Avenue (the Berry House) to July 21 after the church reported new offers to buy or relocate the house and raised parking concerns that could affect any resolution.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6234111,"City of Saint Charles appoints Nancy Garrison interim city clerk, opens application period for vacancy",146,986000,1132000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3412059-dc4e75b51b46f40b9e46e3785a22bf99&start=986&end=1132","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3412059-dc4e75b51b46f40b9e46e3785a22bf99/thumbnail_986000.jpg","/articles/6234111/Illinois/City-of-Saint-Charles-appoints-Nancy-Garrison-interim-city-clerk-opens-application-period-for-vacancy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234111-d0f31e77e2f5897e106dee7d819332e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144795&Signature=odipK~EFtHQrJ~BkSF2xidRUhyHLv-P9mIZGg1h1MU20jHzkQh1HaOrwJ-tXQhlw2bRebEgylkJNe6BD4o8VlteZXiW5HxryiqADB7VcRuuRfdDH-~G7nIxehqV8zJWbFFh8GnmNWFWIccBr7PMkByfK781KwNeqs5Y21gEEu0bEqr0POZhX9JPQI02H2onkBEiIvrJ3btgnsRs9WabMl0gfI6~byHWG1oH6Kccy4ixkZ1CR7vOmrbh9NsWL3WrhgfOvQzSqRLCfe-E-PEdC0FtaepzxfbmeFyGF0l4xRXFGJPzTLSQge4nFHlzqs3FG5HwUZxN-mOK2XDVHyBP-eA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Saint Charles City Council on Monday declared a vacancy in the office of city clerk after the clerk-elect, Susan Hansen, relocated outside the city limits and did not submit a formal withdrawal, and appointed Nancy Garrison as interim city clerk while opening an application period through June 9 for candidates to fill the office; the council intends to appoint a permanent city clerk at its June 16 meeting.

City Administrator Ms. McGuire told the council that Susan Hansen, elected in an uncontested April election, has since moved outside city limits and “did not send a formal declaration to withdraw,” creating a vacancy that the council must address. McGuire said the city will publish the opening on the city website, social media and in a press release and accept applications through June 9 with the goal of making an appointment on June 16.

By formal motions and roll call votes, the council approved a resolution declaring the vacancy, a resolution to post the opening, and a resolution to appoint Nancy Garrison as interim city clerk. Nancy Garrison “has agreed to come out of retirement for the third time to serve as interim city clerk,” McGuire said. The council approved the interim appointment by roll call; the motion to appoint was recorded as moved by Werbel and seconded by Petrilla.

During the public-comment period, Anthony Catulla identified himself as a candidate for city clerk, saying, “I come before you to submit myself publicly as a candidate for city clerk of Saint Charles.” Catulla described his prior campaign experience and said he would seek the office through the application process.

Discussion and votes: the council’s actions included (1) a formal declaration of vacancy in the office of city clerk; (2) authorization to post and accept applications through June 9; and (3) appointment of Nancy Garrison as interim city clerk until a permanent appointment is made. The council stated its intent to consider and appoint a permanent clerk at the June 16 meeting.

The posting and appointment resolutions were procedural steps the council used to ensure continuity in city administration while allowing time for applicants to apply and for council review. No formal contest or final appointment beyond the interim step was taken at the May 19 meeting.","The City of Saint Charles City Council on May 19 declared a vacancy in the office of city clerk after the elected clerk relocated outside city limits, approved a posting window for applicants through June 9 and appointed Nancy Garrison to serve as interim city clerk until a permanent appointment is made.","actionData","errors"]
