Manteno board dedicates small parcel as right-of-way and approves $247,506 in bills, including TIF payment
Summary
The Village Board passed Ordinance 25-30 to accept dedication of an unimproved parcel as public right-of-way and approved payment of bills totaling $247,506.10, which included a $2,200 TIF #3 entry; trustees recorded roll-call votes for both actions.
The Manteno Village Board voted to accept an ordinance dedicating an unimproved parcel east of North Cypress Street as a public right-of-way and approved payment of village bills totaling $247,506.10, including a $2,200 entry related to TIF number 3.
On Ordinance 25-30 — described at the meeting as dedicating a small, unimproved parcel of land (parcel 2530) that was originally dedicated to the village — Trustee Geske moved to approve and Trustee Barry seconded. Roll-call votes were recorded and the motion passed.
On payment of bills, Trustee Berry presented the finance report showing bills for this cycle at $247,506.10 and bills authorized and paid between board cycles of $481,456.66; the minutes and committee reports indicated a $2,200 TIF #3 payment was included in the list of bills paid between cycles. Trustees moved to approve payment of the bills; a motion and second were recorded and the board approved the payments by roll-call.
Why it matters: The parcel dedication clears technical ownership issues so adjacent homeowners can obtain the parcel in a follow-up step and reduces the village’s maintenance responsibilities; approval of bills is routine municipal business but includes TIF-related disbursements that are part of prior committee reports.
What happened next: Village staff clarified that some of the bills shown were payments authorized between board cycles (placed on the agenda for public awareness) rather than items requiring formal board approval at this meeting. Trustees confirmed the numbers during roll-call. No amendments or challenges to either item were recorded.
