Freeburg trustees adopt three ordinances, including 2025 tax levy
Summary
At its Nov. 3 meeting the Freeburg Board of Trustees adopted Ordinances #1804, #1806 and #1807 (a tax levy), each by title only; roll calls recorded the motions carried with six ayes as recorded in the minutes.
The Village of Freeburg Board of Trustees on Nov. 3, 2025 adopted three ordinances by title at its regular meeting.
Trustees approved Ordinance #1804, "An Ordinance Abating the Electric Bond Taxes," after a motion by Trustee Dana Miller and a second by Trustee James (Mike) Blaies; the roll call recorded six ayes and the motion carried. The board also approved Ordinance #1806, described in the minutes as a Wholesale Connection Agreement, on a motion by Miller with a second from Blaies; the roll call again recorded six ayes and the ordinance was adopted. Finally, Trustee Tom Carpenter moved to accept Ordinance #1807 (Tax Levy) by title only; Trustee Elizabeth (Lisa) Meehling seconded and the motion carried as recorded in the minutes with six ayes.
The minutes record that a quorum of seven members was present at the start of the meeting. The minutes do not explain the difference between the seven-member quorum and the six-ayes shown in the ordinance roll calls; the vote tallies reported here follow the recorded roll-call results in the meeting minutes.
The ordinances were adopted by title only; the minutes do not include details of the tax-levy amount, revisions, or fiscal effects. The minutes also do not list dissenting votes, abstentions, or mayoral participation in the recorded tallies. The village clerk's official minutes will be the authoritative record for statutory purposes.
The board concluded the meeting after adopting the ordinances and handling other routine business.
