Fox Lake RDA reviews Clausen Park updates, considers construction task force and downtown initiatives
Summary
At its Jan. 14, 2026 meeting the Fox Lake Redevelopment Authority approved routine minutes, heard updates on Clausen Park and broader development activity, discussed a potential Construction Task Force and an easement in the industrial park, and adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
Chair Mary Perkins called the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Fox Lake to order at 5:00 p.m. on Jan. 14, 2026. Roll call showed five members present and two excused; City Administrator Kelly Crombie and Mayor Tom Bednarek were also in attendance.
The Authority approved the minutes of the Oct. 8, 2025 meeting by a unanimous voice vote. The minutes list Dennis Linke and Dennis Hollnagel in connection with the motion to approve but do not clearly identify which member moved and which seconded.
City Administrator Kelly Crombie provided updates on the Clausen Park projects and on broader development activities in the city. The minutes record those updates but do not include project‑level details such as budgets, schedules, contractors, or grant sources.
Members and Crombie discussed the possibility of creating a Fox Lake Construction Task Force to coordinate construction-related issues; the record shows only discussion, with no formal direction or assignment to staff. Crombie also discussed an easement affecting RDA-owned land in the industrial park and possible initiatives for the downtown business district; again, the minutes record the topics but do not capture decisions, terms, or next steps.
With no further business, the Authority adjourned at 5:45 p.m. The minutes do not specify follow-up dates, staff assignments, or documents referenced for several of the items discussed.
