The Village of Northfield council voted Oct. 25 to approve Resolution No. 2023-50, "An Emergency Resolution Authorizing Certain Amendments to the 2023 Appropriation Resolution and/or Transferring Items Already Appropriated in that Resolution." Law Director Brad Bryan read the legislation by title before council action.
