Robbins board approves advisory referendum question for Nov. 5 ballot
Summary
At a special Aug. 19 meeting, the Village of Robbins Board of Trustees approved Resolution 8-1924 authorizing an advisory referendum question to be placed on the Nov. 5, 2024 general-election ballot; the minutes do not include the referendum text.
The Village of Robbins Board of Trustees voted to approve Resolution 8-1924 on Aug. 19, 2024, authorizing an advisory referendum question to be placed on the Nov. 5, 2024 general-election ballot. Trustee Ernest Maxey Jr. moved to approve the resolution and Trustee David R. Dyson seconded; roll-call ayes were Dyson, Maxey, Robinson, Jackson and Collier. Trustee Thomas Harper Jr. was absent.
The resolution, as recorded in the meeting minutes, authorizes “a certain advisory referendum question” to appear on the ballot; the minutes do not include the wording of that question or additional background on the issue the referendum will address. The action was taken during a special meeting called to order by Mayor Darren E. Bryant at 6:01 p.m.
The vote was recorded as unanimous among trustees present (5–0) with one trustee absent. The minutes do not indicate when the board will finalize or publish the exact referendum language; officials typically file ballot language with the county election authority before the statutory deadline for the November election.
Next procedural steps recorded in the minutes are limited to the remainder of the special meeting; the minutes do not show further action on the referendum language or a subsequent public hearing on the question.
