Council receives memorandum of agreement as an FYI; members urge legal review before signing
Summary
Council members were presented with a memorandum of agreement describing limited village services for a proposed project. The MOA lists a possible $50,000 annual compensation cap and an effective date of 2026-08-05; councilors said legal review is needed before the village signs and confirmed the MOA would be public when formally presented.
Council members discussed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) that had been circulated as an information item. Staff and members described the MOA as a precursor to any contract, requiring village review and legal vetting before signature. The MOA text referenced limited village services—such as minimal office or printer use and some personnel assistance—in exchange for compensation up to $50,000 per year and included a termination clause allowing either party to end the MOA with 30 days’ written notice.
Members noted the MOA listed an effective-on date of 08/05/2026; several said the date should be adjusted after a full legal review. Staff reiterated that the MOA is a public document once officially presented and that the village retains the right to sign or decline. No vote to sign the MOA was recorded in the public segments; members characterized the item as informational and scheduled further review and legal advice before any formal action.
