Hobart adopts tighter stormwater rules and approves $53,473 contract to repair Brookwood Circle
Summary
The Village Board adopted Ordinance 2026-08 to strengthen stormwater management authority and approved a $53,473.20 contract with MCC to repave roughly 970 feet of Brookwood Circle, using the Storm Water Reserve to fund the work.
The Village of Hobart Board of Trustees approved Ordinance 2026-08 on June 16, amending Chapter 150 to add authority to prevent property alterations that would negatively affect stormwater flow and to allow the Village to address drainage issues that harm adjacent properties.
On the same agenda the board approved a $53,473.20 quote from MCC to pulverize and repave approximately 970 feet of Brookwood Circle between N. Pine Tree and Melanie Lane, damage the village attributed to flooding in March. The board specified the work would be funded from the Storm Water Reserve. The motion to adopt the ordinance and the motion to approve the contract each passed by voice vote, 5-0.
Three residents—Kathy Myrick and Roberta and John Rather—appeared before the board on stormwater runoff issues; the minutes record their appearance but do not provide verbatim statements. The village clerk filed the minutes for the meeting. Implementation of Ordinance 2026-08 gives the village explicit authority to require corrective action when a property’s landscaping or grading adversely affects stormwater flow on neighboring properties.
The board also approved Resolution 2026-08, adopting the Compliance Maintenance Annual Report for the sanitary sewer utility for 2025 earlier in the meeting.
The immediate follow-up actions are for staff to schedule the Brookwood Circle work with MCC and to apply the new stormwater standard in future property- and drainage-related enforcement and permitting.
