The Oglesby City Council completed several routine and ordinance votes during its Feb. 2 meeting.
Financial approvals: Council approved bills presented for payment in the amount of $118,594.70 and approved payroll for the period ending Feb. 13, 2026, in the amount of $67,862.81. Both motions passed by roll call.
Ordinances and appointments: The council approved an ordinance creating a 120th anniversary celebration committee (nominee: Wally Marquat) and approved an ordinance granting a special‑use permit for a body‑art studio to operate at a West Walnut Street address after staff clarified the correct street number in the ordinance language. The council also appointed Kyle Vidigar as planning commission chairman.
Other business: A proposed contract with North American Midway Entertainment was discussed but tabled pending further edits (notably contract term and food concessions). The council voted to enter executive session for personnel, real estate and closed‑minutes matters under Illinois law and later returned to approve minutes with minor wording corrections.
Votes and roll calls cited during the meeting record the results; the clerk will incorporate corrected language and document the votes in the official minutes.
