Council forwards solid‑waste district renewal and approves $984,200 OPWC project budget
Summary
Council moved Resolution 2026‑23 renewing participation in the regional solid‑waste district and adopted an emergency ordinance to establish a $984,200 budget for the Elmwood‑Jefferson OPWC project and related appropriations; both actions were advanced on roll calls.
Council considered a routine request from the regional solid‑waste district to renew the village’s participation and to update the district management plan. A sponsor explained the renewal is periodically requested every four or five years; members moved to bypass three readings to meet the district’s timeline. The council voted by roll call to forward and then adopt Resolution 2026‑23.
Separately, the council considered an ordinance to establish a budget for an Elmwood‑Jefferson OPWC project totaling $984,200, increase appropriations for engineering costs, and reallocate permissive‑tax funds to cover the village’s share. Sponsors said the appropriation covers engineering and the village’s project share; the council moved to pass the ordinance by emergency and adopted it on roll call.
No immediate fees were reported for participation in the solid‑waste district; staff said the village’s participation involves periodic renewals but not a direct annual fee. The solicitor also reported he is drafting a license agreement with a local baseball association to protect village property interests if private financing is used for improvements on village land.
