Hebron council adopts multiple administrative policies, directs legislation for development and services
Summary
At its March 23 meeting the Hebron Village Council adopted several administrative policies (cybersecurity, sales tax, codified ordinances), acknowledged financials, and authorized drafting legislation for an Enterprise fleet agreement, JED/TIF funds, MI Homes phase 2 items and several contracts.
The Village of Hebron council on March 23 approved a package of administrative policies and directed staff to draft several pieces of legislation to support development and ongoing services.
Mayor Dr. Mogas opened the meeting and the council first approved the March 2 minutes and acknowledged the February 2026 bank reconciliation. The council then adopted three administrative policies the village said are required or recommended by state law and auditors: a cybersecurity policy to comply with House Bill 98, a sales tax policy prepared to align with the state auditor’s guidance, and a codified ordinances policy establishing a twice‑annual codification schedule. Each item was moved, seconded and approved in roll-call votes recorded as 4–0.
The council also authorized the solicitor to draft legislation for several items the village said require formal ordinances or contracts before implementation. Those directives included: - drafting legislation to enter a government leasing arrangement with Enterprise Fleet Management to support police and other village vehicle needs; - creating special funds for the recently passed JED and TIF legislation and drafting separate legislation to set up each fund for auditor approval; and - drafting legislation for contracts and approvals tied to the MI Homes Hebron Landing development (phase 2 plat and an amended development agreement to formalize third‑party inspection services).
Council approved continued procurement steps for services and contracts such as a three‑year janitorial agreement with Palatir and the annual mosquito control program with the county health department. The village also approved moving ahead with a NatureWorks grant application (approximately $40,000 request) that requires a 25% local match, which staff said would come from already budgeted public works funds.
The mayor and staff highlighted operational updates in the administrator’s report — new hires in public works, a wastewater lift station pump currently out of service pending replacement parts — and council members raised local concerns about recent flooding, worn cemetery flags and nuisance minibikes near trails. The meeting adjourned at 7:08 p.m.
