The City of the Village council on Jan. 13, 2025 considered a resolution calling for candidate filing for council seats in wards 1, 2 and 3 to take place on April 1, 2025.

The item on the agenda, identified in the meeting transcript as “resolution 01-13-2025 alpha,” would establish April 1, 2025 as the filing date for those ward seats. Meeting remarks also noted that newly elected members would be sworn in on Monday, May 5, at 7:30 p.m., per comments recorded during the meeting.

The resolution was introduced as an agenda item for council consideration. The transcript records the item and related scheduling details but does not record a formal vote or indicate whether the council adopted the resolution during the meeting. The transcript also remarks that precinct assignments and polling locations are set by the county election board and that some precinct locations lie within The Village but are controlled by election authorities outside the city.

Council members and staff discussed the timing only briefly on the record; no substantive debate about changing dates or procedures appears in the transcript. The meeting record does not show a mover, seconder, or a recorded vote tally for the resolution; outcome therefore is not specified in the transcript.

If the resolution is adopted as proposed, candidates for the three ward seats would need to file by April 1, 2025; the transcript indicates a May 5 swearing-in but does not state if that date is contingent on any other action.
