Summary

The board voted to strike from the agenda a motion to appoint Lewis Kinghart as village attorney at $77,500 per month; trustees removed the item for further review rather than taking an immediate appointment vote.

Trustees carried a motion to strike agenda item 5h, a proposed appointment of Lewis Kinghart (LTE) as village attorney at $77,500 per month, citing the need for additional review following the prior attorney's resignation.

"The motion has carried to strike item 5 8 from the agenda, which is the motion to appoint the form of Lewis Kinghart, LTE, as village attorney at 77,500 monthly due to the resignation of the prior village attorney," the deputy clerk stated on the record. The board did not vote to appoint a replacement at this meeting, and the item was removed so trustees could revisit it later.
