Waite Hill council suspends rules and approves charter amendments for submission to voters
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-11 after unanimously suspending the three-reading rule, directing that proposed charter amendments be submitted to village electors. The Communication and Community Outreach Committee said the Village Voice will include information on the amendments.
The Waite Hill Village Council voted unanimously July 14 to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-11, which provides for submission of proposed amendments to the Village Charter to the electors. Council first voted unanimously to suspend the rule requiring three separate readings; after that suspension, the ordinance was moved and adopted by roll call.
Richard Steudel moved to suspend the three-day reading requirement; Kerri Bowden seconded the motion and the roll call recorded unanimous support. Karl Scheucher then moved to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-11, seconded by Richard Steudel, and the ordinance was adopted by unanimous roll call.
The minutes record that the Communication and Community Outreach Committee will include information on the charter amendments in the next edition of the Village Voice. The minutes do not record the specific amendment language or a date for submission to the ballot; those procedural details were not specified in the meeting text.
Next steps: The ordinance provides for submission of amendments to the electors; the clerk-treasurer and other officials will follow statutory election procedures to place the amendments before voters and publish required materials.
