Manhattan board renews 20-year boundary agreement with New Lenox
Summary
The Village of Manhattan board unanimously approved a resolution renewing an intergovernmental boundary agreement with New Lenox, extending the boundary 20 years to 2046 and making a small corner adjustment at Delaney and Route 52.
The Village of Manhattan board voted unanimously to approve an intergovernmental jurisdictional boundary line agreement with the Village of New Lenox, extending the boundary for another 20 years, to 2046, and slightly altering the corner at Delaney and Route 52.
Mayor (speaker 1) opened a public hearing on the proposal, saying the previous agreement had expired and that renewing the pact "will extend the boundary line for another 20 years into 2046." No members of the public spoke during the hearing, and the board moved to close the hearing and to adopt the resolution by roll call.
Board members indicated staff recommended the renewal to provide stability for long-term planning. The mayor said the agreement largely preserves the previous boundary while making a targeted adjustment at Delaney and Route 52. The board approved the resolution after a motion and second; roll-call votes recorded all voting "Yes." The meeting packet lists the item as a resolution authorizing Manhattan to enter into the intergovernmental agreement with New Lenox.
The board did not identify immediate implementation steps during the meeting. The resolution provides the legal basis for planning and service coordination between the two villages for the next two decades.
