Commission appoints district trustees, approves school MOU and denies three late tax-abatement requests
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting the commission reappointed and appointed members to the Long Valley Sewer Improvement District and the Kane County Water Conservancy Board, approved a multi-year MOU with the school district for events at the old elementary school, and unanimously denied three late abatement/credit applications.
Kane County commissioners used part of their Dec. 9 meeting to fill several volunteer board positions, approve an events memorandum of understanding with the school district, and decide three late tax-abatement requests.
Appointments: Commissioner Brown recommended reappointing Jared Brickerhoff and J.D. Maxwell and appointing Clay Hansen to the Long Valley Sewer Improvement District Administrative Control Board; the commission adopted Resolutions R25-44 and R25-45 to confirm those actions. Commissioner Cabea recommended reappointing Ben Clarkson, J. Michael Kenner and Stephen Shrope to the Kane County Water Conservancy Board of Trustees; the commission adopted Resolution R25-46 unanimously.
School MOU: The commission approved a memorandum of understanding with Kane County School District permitting county events at the old Eagle Elementary property at 41 West 100 North for 2026 through 2028. Discussion focused on keeping improvements minimal (gravel and electrical access), confirming the school is not selling the land, and standardizing the agreement formatting before final signature.
Abatements: The commission reviewed three late abatement/credit packets that arrived after the Sept. 1 deadline; one application lacked required financial documentation, another listed dementia as a reason, and the third did not meet age requirements. After legal review and discussion about ‘‘good cause’’ criteria and taxpayer fairness, the commission voted unanimously to deny the three late exception requests.
All votes on appointments, the MOU and the abatements were recorded as unanimous in the transcript.
