Vernon Hills board approves MOU with Park District; trustee abstains
Summary
The Vernon Hills Village Board approved Ordinance 2025-022, an MOU with the Vernon Hills Park District on a CB master plan; Trustee Marquardt abstained, citing employment with the park district.
The Vernon Hills Village Board on Feb. 18 approved Ordinance 2025-022, a memorandum of understanding with the Vernon Hills Park District to advance a CB master plan. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with one abstention.
Trustee Marquardt abstained from the vote and stated for the record, “I am an employee with the park district,” explaining the reason for not participating. Other voting members recorded support and the motion carried.
The ordinance was presented as an item the board had pulled from an omnibus package for a separate vote at the request of a trustee. The item authorizes the village to enter an MOU with the Vernon Hills Park District on planning work described in the ordinance; the document itself was not read in full during the meeting and specific contractual terms were not discussed on the record beyond the vote.
No public comment was recorded on the measure during the meeting. The board proceeded to other agenda items after the vote.
