Jacksonville approves Old Settlers Reunion contract; sets festival water fee at $1.50 per 100 gallons
Summary
Council approved an amended Old Settlers Reunion contract including Sixth Street closure language and set a festival water fee of $1.50 per 100 gallons to cover park overhead and sewer costs. The contract was approved unanimously June 24, 2026.
Councilperson Rachel Gratz reviewed an updated Old Settlers Reunion contract and noted new language for the Sixth Street road closure. The Council discussed the event's water fee after Fiscal Officer Heather Rockwell said the existing fee did not cover park overhead or the sewer charges the Village incurs. Council agreed on a rate of $1.50 per 100 gallons for festival water usage and approved the amended contract.
Councilperson Eric Clift moved to approve the Old Settlers contract with the amended water rate; the motion was seconded by Councilperson Dave Moleski and carried by unanimous vote. The minutes do not list an estimated total water usage or projected revenue from the new fee.
