Machesney Park —9/Dec. 2025 —00
The Village of Machesney Park Board of Trustees voted on several routine but consequential administrative items at its December meeting, approving minutes, accepting the treasurer—s report, authorizing a large warrant payment and postponing two pending ordinances until the board—s Jan. 5, 2026 meeting.
The board first approved the minutes of the Dec. 1 meeting by voice vote after a motion from Trustee Aaron Wilson and a recorded second. Treasurer Deb Haal then presented the treasurer—s report "as of 12/10/2025," saying the total of all funds was $53,522,622.27. A motion to accept the report carried on a roll-call vote with Trustees Sipes, Stromberg, Roe/Roehn, Wilson and Bailey and Mayor Johnson recorded as voting "Aye." The report will be placed on file for audit.
Trustee Aaron Wilson reported the Administration & Finance Committee had recommended a warrant totaling $1,851,965.83. The board approved payment of the bills on a unanimous roll-call vote.
On the consent agenda the board approved, on first reading, Ordinance 45-25, a side-yard setback variance for an attached garage at 8314 Waterview Road. The consent agenda motion was made by Trustee Wilson and seconded by Trustee Bailey and passed on a roll-call "Aye."
During new business the board considered two pending ordinances (39-25 and 40-25). Trustee Lowe said the applicant is revising its site plan and moved to postpone agenda items 13.1 and 13.2 to the Jan. 5, 2026 board meeting. The motion was seconded and passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. (The meeting record contains an inconsistency: the spoken motion to postpone is attributed in one place to Trustee Lowe and later the clerk—s announcement reads "Motion by Trustee Rhodes, second by Trustee Sipes." That inconsistency is noted in the meeting record.)
The board recorded no public comment and adjourned after a motion from Trustee Wilson.
