Volo approves payment of bills amid one dissent; board discusses FY26/27 budget and hears neighborhood safety, parks requests
Summary
The Volo Board approved payment of bills in the Treasurer’s Report with Trustee Porter dissenting, discussed parameters for the FY26/27 budget, and heard a public request for speed enforcement and trail completion from a neighborhood association leader.
The Village of Volo Board of Trustees authorized payment of bills listed in the Treasurer’s Report for Feb. 17, 2026; Trustee Heuser moved the authorization, Trustee Buttita seconded, and the motion carried on a roll call with four trustees voting aye and one trustee voting no.
Roll call on the accounts-payable motion recorded Trustees Wagner, Heuser, Buttita and Komas as voting “aye” and Trustee Porter as voting “nay.” The minutes do not record a reason for Trustee Porter’s dissent.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved the minutes from its Feb. 3, 2026 meeting on a voice vote after a motion by Trustee Porter and a second from Trustee Wagner. The meeting also concluded with a unanimous voice vote to adjourn.
During the agenda the board discussed parameters to guide preparation of the FY 2026–27 budget but made no formal adoption of budget parameters at this meeting. No budget figures or decision deadlines were recorded.
In public comment, Meg Ryan, president of the Remington Pointe Master Association, asked the board for speed-enforcement action on Cornerstone Drive and inquired about parks planning and the status of a path on Fish Lake Road from Molidor Road to the Marl Flat Forest Preserve; the minutes record her requests but do not show a response or timeline for follow-up.
Trustee Wagner provided a brief update on the Economic Development Committee, and Mayor Stephen Henley said he and Trustees Buttita and Komas planned to attend a Wauconda Chamber of Commerce event on Feb. 21. The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 P.M.
