Hebron council reads two ordinances and fiscal officer outlines proposed budget amendments
Summary
At its July 17 combined committees meeting, the Village of Hebron read the titles of two pending ordinances — a rezoning on Canal Road (Ordinance 24-24) and a proposed contract for planning and zoning legal services (Ordinance 26-24) — and the fiscal officer presented proposed appropriation amendments for the next council meeting.
The Village of Hebron’s combined council committees meeting on July 17 opened with Administrator Jung-Han Chen reading the titles of two pending ordinances, including ORDINANCE 24-24, a rezoning proposal for parcels on Canal Road (Auditor’s parcel numbers 075-330786-00.000 and 075-330786-00.001), identified as the item on second reading, and ORDINANCE 26-24, described as an ordinance "authorizing the Administrator and Fiscal Officer to enter into a contract with Brosius, Johnson, and Griggs LLC without advertising, for certain legal services for the Village of Hebron, specifically for planning & zoning and for other related matters as necessary," identified as a first reading.
Chief Fiscal Officer Deborah Morgan presented a list of proposed appropriation amendments and told the committee she will request a motion at the next Council meeting directing the Village Solicitor to draft an appropriation amendment ordinance. The meeting record shows only the titles of the two ordinances were read and no formal votes or final actions on these ordinances or on the appropriation amendments were taken at the July 17 meeting.
Why it matters: Ordinance 24-24 would change the village zoning map for parcels on Canal Road; any rezoning can affect permitted land uses and development prospects for the affected parcels. Ordinance 26-24 would authorize an unadvertised professional services contract for planning and zoning legal work; the transcript lists the firm and scope but does not record contract terms, budget impact, or any vote. Morgan’s presentation of appropriation amendments signals forthcoming budget adjustments; she indicated staff will bring a drafting motion at the next council meeting.
What’s next: The record shows ORDINANCE 24-24 is at second reading and ORDINANCE 26-24 was at first reading; no vote outcomes were recorded in the transcript. The fiscal officer will request formal direction to draft an appropriation amendment ordinance at the next Council meeting, where the council may vote on ordinances and the solicitor will prepare necessary drafting language.
