Board approves extension and fee resolution for 181 South Franklin after debate over balance and term
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution to address a $58,003.94 balance tied to expired permits at 181 South Franklin Avenue and to extend permit deadlines to Jan. 9, 2027; members debated whether to halve the balance and noted questions about the village's authority to waive fees.
The board voted to approve a resolution addressing long-expired permits and an outstanding $58,003.94 balance for 181 South Franklin Avenue and extended the permit deadline to Jan. 9, 2027.
Chair summarized the matter, saying the total due to bring the property current was "$58,003.94." Trustees discussed a previous work-session suggestion to cut the bill in half and the appropriate extension term; one trustee observed the extension would carry the permit through Jan. 9, 2027.
During discussion a trustee referenced counsel, saying, "mister Hawkins said he didn't know if we legally could waive fees," noting the legal authority to waive or reduce fees had not been conclusively settled in the public session. The board ultimately moved and approved Resolution 077-26 to grant the extension and set the course for resolving the outstanding balance.
Next steps include the building department recording the extension and any payment arrangements agreed to with the property owner.
