Cityhood petition delayed while state changes map formatting; library to review potential contract
Summary
Staff told the council the cityhood petition and map require reformatting to meet state requirements, causing a delay; the village also reported the library will consider a proposed contract at its next meeting and the township (a funding source) had not yet publicly discussed the proposal.
Village staff reported that the cityhood petition and map submissions to the state were delayed after the state changed the required file format; staff said the delay does not affect boundaries and that the engineering team is reformatting the materials. Councilors were told the library will discuss a proposed contract at its next board meeting; staff noted the township (identified as a funding source) had not publicly discussed the item at its most recent meeting.
Staff emphasized the boundaries have not changed and that additional coordination with the township and the library will continue. Council members remarked that public outreach and clear sequencing of discussions with the township and library would be helpful before next steps are taken.
