At a glance: key council votes from Woodstock meeting, April 28, 2025
Summary
Council adopted the consent agenda and a resolution expressing interest in a countywide land bank, added and denied an anti-item notice, and tabled a conditional-use permit for 7950 Main Street; votes shown with tallies.
The mayor and city council of Woodstock took several formal actions during the April 28 meeting. Key votes and outcomes are listed below. All recorded votes referenced here carried 5–0 with one absence (Councilmember Potts) unless noted otherwise.
Votes at a glance - Consent agenda (items 7.1–7.x): Adopted (motion to approve; mover and seconder recorded). Vote: 5–0 (Potts absent). Staff noted five departmental reports are publicly available in the agenda packet.
- Conditional-use permit (CUP case 8524) and related variances for 7950 Main Street (Adair Walk): Motion to table consideration of the CUP and variances. Motion by Councilmember Aik; second by Councilmember Wolff. Outcome: Tabled 5–0 (Potts absent). Staff and the Downtown Planning Commission had recommended partial approval subject to conditions; the applicant said he would not proceed without a development agreement or city acquisition and several council members said there was no appetite for a city-funded development agreement.
- Resolution expressing interest in a county land bank authority: Adopted (motion by Councilmember Wolff; second by Councilmember Usher). Outcome: Approved 5–0 (Potts absent). The resolution expresses interest only and does not commit city funds; staff said details (including veto rights for city-held property) would be included in future agreement drafts.
- Addition of agenda item 9-1 (to deny an anti-item notice regarding James Leverage): Motion to add the item passed 5–0 (Potts absent). The council then considered the item and voted to deny the anti-item notice for Mr. James Leverage; the denial carried 5–0 (Potts absent).
- Executive session and adjournment: Council voted to move into executive session to discuss personnel, litigation and real estate (motion and second recorded); motion carried 5–0 (Potts absent). After returning from executive session the council voted to add and then deny the anti-item notice as noted above and later adjourned the meeting by voice vote.
Ending: The meeting concluded after the executive-session return, the added item and denial, and an adjournment vote. Several matters (notably the 7950 Main Street CUP) remain pending and may return to council at a later date.
