Presenter Seth (fire safety consultant) told trustees that the state requires municipalities to adopt at least the 2018 edition of the model building codes and that Campton Hills is currently on the 2012 edition. He said updating to a later edition incorporates more recent construction, energy, snow-load and wind data, and new provisions for technologies such as home battery storage and rooftop solar. Seth emphasized that many amendments currently practiced by the village were not codified and the update would both align the written code with existing village practice and improve clarity for designers, builders and property owners.

Trustees raised questions about the scope of required permits under the revised code—examples included window and front‑door replacements, furnace and water‑heater swaps, and other repair vs. replacement distinctions. The board discussed the balance between public safety/energy standards and the practical burden on residents and contractors. Several trustees asked staff to prepare a clear list of what would and would not require a permit under the updated code and to bring a comparison of neighboring jurisdictions’ permit practices and fee schedules.

Staff agreed to provide a draft permit‑scope list and comparative fee data and to place that topic on the July meeting agenda so trustees can resolve outstanding questions before formal code adoption. Staff also suggested an outreach plan to explain changes to residents and contractors if the board moves forward with adoption.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 5, 2025 Village Board Special Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Village staff and the board discussed updating local building-code amendments to a more recent edition to meet state requirements and debated which repairs and replacements should require permits; trustees asked staff to present a detailed list of permit triggers and fee comparisons at the July meeting.","taxTitle","Campton Hills, Kane County, Illinois","taxId",70405,"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},6210949,"Board discusses annexation agreement, open-space-focused PUD south of Route 38; public hearing expected",693,747000,1440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3702666-414084a2742cc20ba8fd32c163d97a6c&start=747&end=1440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3702666-414084a2742cc20ba8fd32c163d97a6c/thumbnail_747000.jpg","/articles/6210949/Campton-Hills/Kane-County/Illinois/Board-discusses-annexation-agreement-open-space-focused-PUD-south-of-Route-38-public-hearing-expected","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210949-2025331be5c1c2ca18ca343e77a8d562/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151380&Signature=CseyMz80nQLRd9YHm4IaJ1pM30VyBQOVSTQlJmCEXNGMaOwSZh3TZpUFVOPwBk6RNNQcA6qIvmiBe4PHISJjSYe6O12MeG72xk6mbhaYSDbTv6NkZHxguxvhJrq8U4aQjb2adE5O0UaIkqeFtgnJ0HFUzSIyBwYatnf~Fi9Cd3CnIVtxE5IF27vikcaW2BQC9TPxYOWagh8Niyw1x0Furh-WaLqiXQ6g1ZfBAylnleerY6qDRw6Qfwgk0hz2I98Md84xJMGPPdtoFCNNtZ7czy9RlrMXEIq4JgmjrfPBZV1csiXc81MA~0dfd3ktjeFDIl7NgXqNNaFsereY93IUMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board received a staff presentation and developer comments on a draft annexation agreement for property south of Route 38 and discussed next steps toward a public hearing.

Village staff said the draft agreement reflects weeks of negotiations among the village, the developer, local fire districts, school district representatives and civic groups. David Patzelt, representing the developer, described the proposal as lower‑density than a typical transit‑oriented development and emphasized significant open space within the plan. The developer provided an updated “bubble” plan showing access points and internal neighborhood layout.

Trustees and staff discussed intergovernmental issues: portions of the development would lie in the service areas of Elburn Countryside Fire Protection District and Fox River Countryside Fire Protection District; residential portions fall entirely within School District 304; the village has been meeting with the Mill Creek Water Reclamation District about sewer and water service. Staff said statutory public-notice steps would require publication 15 days before the hearing and notice to certain township and district entities at least 10 days before the hearing. Trustees asked whether the board could delay final approval after the public hearing if new issues arose; staff replied the hearing is for public input and the agreement may be amended afterward.

Trustees discussed coordination with the Geneva Park District about how neighborhood open space might be programmed and whether the park district would own or maintain internal neighborhood open spaces. Developers said open-space areas in neighborhoods would likely be passive or semi‑active (play areas, tot lots) rather than large, lighted athletic fields; the developer noted previous patterns of contribution where park districts and developers each contribute toward park improvements and pursue grants for additional funding.

Staff said, if the board is comfortable with the current draft, a public hearing could be scheduled tentatively for the week of June 26; the timeline requires publication and notices in advance. The board gave direction to continue refining details, coordinate with the listed agencies, and return with any final revisions and a proposed public‑hearing date.","Trustees reviewed a draft annexation agreement for property south of Route 38 tied to a low-density, open‑space-focused planned unit development presented by Shodine Construction; board directed staff to refine terms and set a public hearing if comfortable with the draft.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6210954,"Campton Hills adopts fiscal policy directing certain new tax revenue to road capital, adds monthly reporting",371,361000,732000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3702666-414084a2742cc20ba8fd32c163d97a6c&start=361&end=732","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3702666-414084a2742cc20ba8fd32c163d97a6c/thumbnail_361000.jpg","/articles/6210954/Campton-Hills/Kane-County/Illinois/Campton-Hills-adopts-fiscal-policy-directing-certain-new-tax-revenue-to-road-capital-adds-monthly-reporting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210954-dc1c6458015413f3c132bc3ee3e137fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151380&Signature=Xp0JejyPokzgMZJML2YroZXlAroUFqqpGFZP4GE3JItmN991nsQFSkLu9kyo2PiNuSbktrdeBKkD76AJQ7yWayI3uaaZ4Kj~ZJ2YAAxIQUBKLDtUxjMQ8qhK78Qr65JaZQLIKiY2VTvOT9NFKXFcdhtzqNAG0oWi9tsJ~A~vKoDMRuULO3lPrKIfoFq9rQw~yNgdK9g88zsz66TeP6i2nliEaMUN~9yEbeIQiCK1JA-vjZQrfnZmKoXDrv75cJ8eKf5PcGhkjNE0EWbBY5fVUh8jdqLz~IbJD2U49Gd-wjxVTNfS0xO89U2HrQ0iL0uKumL1ynKEiWOTu7eG1ekNJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board approved Ordinance 25-23 and an accompanying fiscal policy that directs revenue from specified new municipal taxes into a capital account for road projects.

Board members said the policy clarifies how user-fee and new tax revenues will flow: taxes are received into the general fund and then allocated to a segregated road capital subaccount, and the fiscal policy is intended to legally bind that allocation as the exclusive use for those revenues. Trustees debated reporting frequency and amended the policy during the meeting to replace the word “regular reporting” with “monthly reporting.” The board approved the change and then adopted the fiscal policy by roll call.

Village staff described the fiscal policy as a companion to previously approved ordinances imposing the new taxes. Trustees asked that monthly reports from the treasurer/administrator be provided to the finance committee and the public works committee, and that the reports be included in the treasurer’s regular monthly report to the board. The policy does not, by itself, change existing budget appropriations; it sets a directive on how revenue from specified municipal taxes should be reserved for road capital projects and requires monthly transparency to the board and committees.

Trustees were clear that the policy is a “backstop” intended to preserve the funding stream’s use for roads even under future administrations. The ordinance language and the required reporting schedule will be implemented by the clerk and finance staff.","The Village Board adopted a fiscal policy committing revenue from new municipal taxes to road capital and amended the policy to require monthly reporting on those funds.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6210959,"Campton Hills board adopts municipal utility tax on natural gas",354,45000,399000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3702666-414084a2742cc20ba8fd32c163d97a6c&start=45&end=399","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3702666-414084a2742cc20ba8fd32c163d97a6c/thumbnail_45000.jpg","/articles/6210959/Campton-Hills/Kane-County/Illinois/Campton-Hills-board-adopts-municipal-utility-tax-on-natural-gas","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210959-b7a5bdc8d72ec4a47361f05c3dc4450e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151380&Signature=nKdfFy1p4wSF4A6koyfGbUY2YDsdR-~sbnPmKdVtRU4zYl7VneeNUTpUoe2gxItc-YNaWhK0yIIWaczkWb0OdlXH8mnIyi592K5zoY1xwwyEYMw9t5Nk3EWCbLKwKW7cPp4psHXP9k9ZxTMmTQtD6FzMp2O04LNeMJDgNMNtAzCEK0LZ9J4MFWkhFkCP-1-OrRCmu-LEw1InKJPNDXK5Ni4IWGdd8RKlbaGc0FP3Ii-PlKNa0RrG-58dfraXmhcDwUNQcuMRBKSj2XVu4~LeqMjoaOI2MWhi7SPS4xxiyA~cxseEItEYPNt4diHP6yeZElckj7m92QD3xx9DboHS-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board of Campton Hills approved Ordinance O25-20, imposing a municipal utility tax on persons engaged in the business of furnishing natural gas in the village.

Board members said the ordinance had been amended from earlier drafts to remove references to electricity so the tax would apply only to natural gas. The amendment to clarify the ordinance title (adding “— gas”) was discussed and adopted before the board voted to adopt the ordinance itself.

Trustees voted by roll call and the measure passed. Village counsel explained the change to the ordinance mirrored an earlier discussion at the prior board meeting and was intended to avoid overlapping taxes on different utilities. The clerk will publish the finalized ordinance language and update the code section title to show the municipal utility tax for gas.

The board did not discuss a date for implementation in detail during the meeting and did not provide a breakdown of projected revenues at the time of the vote. The ordinance, as adopted, contains the statutory language required to impose the tax; clerk’s office staff will circulate the final numbering and title changes.

The board recorded no related amendments to the tax rate during this meeting and no separate action on an electric utility tax was included in the record. Any future adjustments, implementation schedule or revenue estimates will require separate board action or administrative follow-up.","The Village Board approved Ordinance O25-20 imposing a municipal utility tax on the sale of natural gas in Campton Hills, and amended ordinance titles to clarify the levy applies to gas only.","actionData","errors"]
