Loami holds public hearing on ordinance to accept credit-card payments; no vote scheduled
Summary
Village Attorney summarized an ordinance to amend the code so the village may accept credit-card payments under the Local Governmental Acceptance of Credit Cards Act; the public asked no questions and the board did not vote because only three trustees were present.
The Village of Loami held a public hearing Aug. 14 on an ordinance that would amend Chapter 22 of the village code to allow credit-card payments in compliance with the Local Governmental Acceptance of Credit Cards Act. Village Attorney Anthony Schuering gave the overview; no members of the public asked questions during the hearing, which the mayor closed at 5:50 p.m.
Mayor Steven Lambert told the board at the regular meeting that "since there are only three (3) trustees nothing can be voted on at the regular meeting." The ordinance (Ordinance No. 2025-07) was presented for review and discussion only; no final action was recorded. Trustee and staff discussion about implementation and potential merchant-fee impacts was not included in the record. The Local Governmental Acceptance of Credit Cards Act was cited as the statutory basis during the hearing.
