North Georgia board approves car wash site plan, multiple property transactions and police vehicle purchases
Summary
At its June 15 meeting the North Georgia Village Board unanimously approved a Club Car Wash site plan, purchases of properties at 8 and 105 North Lincoln Way, acceptance of a $1,000,000 LOI for 1111 Orchard Gateway Boulevard, and authorization to buy three police vehicles at a total cost not to exceed $189,345.
The North Georgia Village Board on June 15 approved a series of routine and new-business items, including a commercial site plan, property acquisitions and police fleet purchases.
The board unanimously approved the site plan for a Club Car Wash in the Orchard Commerce subdivision off Genesis Drive. Nathan told trustees the car wash is a permitted use under the PUD and required final site‑plan approval; trustees voted to approve the plan by roll call.
Trustees also voted to purchase 8 North Lincoln Way for $275,000, citing the property’s inclusion in the village strategic and comprehensive plans for future development. The board approved the related contract following executive-session negotiations on price.
The village agreed to purchase 105 North Lincoln Way for $25,000 to settle longstanding code‑enforcement claims after the property's owner died; the purchase included approval of the settlement agreement.
On a separate property matter the board accepted a letter of intent from JCB to buy village‑owned property at 1111 Orchard Gateway Boulevard for $1,000,000 and authorized staff to proceed with contract negotiations following the close of the 30‑day competitive window. The acceptance was not a final sales contract but advances negotiations.
The police department requested authorization to buy three 2026 Ford Police Interceptor Explorers from Morrow Brothers Ford under the Illinois State Bid program. Staff said Morrow Brothers offered the most competitive pricing; the total estimated cost approved was not to exceed $189,345 (the transcript lists a per-vehicle figure that appears truncated). The police department had budgeted $200,000 in the vehicle and equipment fund for fiscal years 2026–27 for the purchase.
The consent agenda — including minutes, the bills list and an agreement with AID for a contracted social worker at the police department — passed unanimously.
All votes taken and recorded in roll call during new business were recorded as affirmative by the trustees present.
