Council holds first reading on vacating parts of Rochelle, Monitor and Hoffman streets
Summary
On first reading the council introduced an ordinance to vacate unused portions of Rochelle, Monitor and Hoffman streets, noting the Board of Works previously approved the action and that the ordinance will be recorded to formalize the right‑of‑way vacations.
The Crown Point City Council on June 2 held a first reading of an ordinance (Ordinance 2025-06-15) to vacate unused portions of Rochelle, Monitor and Hoffman streets. The item was described as a cleanup action for unused public right‑of‑way; the Board of Works previously approved the vacations.
Staff and an attorney representing the petitioner explained the ordinance would allow the property owner to record the vacation once the city ordinance is adopted. The council moved to read the ordinance by title only and hold it for a second reading; the motion carried and the item will return for final adoption at a future meeting.
No substantive changes to the vacation plan were introduced during the first reading, and the ordinance was held over to the next meeting for second reading and final action.
