At its Dec. 16 meeting the Village of Sugar Grove Board approved several administrative appointments and fiscal measures.

The board approved the appointment of Dave Kintz to the Village of Sugar Grove Police Pension Board for a term expiring May 1, 2026. Scott Keppel said Chief Rollins recommended Kintz. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by unanimous roll call.

Trustees also approved Finance Director Karen Johns’ appointment to the Police Pension Board (term to May 1, 2027). Keppel explained the finance director’s placement on the pension board improves information flow between pension administrators and village finance.

The board adopted a resolution naming Karen Johns as the village’s authorized agent for the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), which will make Johns the primary contact for the village on IMRF matters. The board separately approved a resolution naming Johns as the village delegate and Brett Feltes as alternate to the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (IRMA/IRMAA), which staff said helps manage renewals and claim discussions.

Trustees also approved an ordinance establishing the village’s tax levy for fiscal year 05/01/2026–04/30/2027. Trustees asked staff to confirm that the levy applies only to new construction; staff confirmed the levy was limited to new construction and that updated county numbers slightly adjusted the expected total. The board approved the levy on a roll-call vote.
