Board approves four code amendments on sewer connections and delinquency procedures

The Carbon Cliff Board placed four ordinance amendments on the consent agenda on Dec. 16 and approved them by roll call vote. The ordinances were listed by title in the Village President’s agenda as: Ordinance No. 2025-12 ("An Ordinance Amending Title VI, Article 7, Section 12 of the Village Code." — Required Connection to Sewer System – Rules and Regulations), Ordinance No. 2025-13 ("An Ordinance Amending Title VI, Article 9, Section 4 of the Village Code." — Required Connection to Sewer System – Connection Fees), Ordinance No. 2025-14 ("An Ordinance Amending Title V, Article 1, Section 6.2 and 6.3 of the Village Code." — Delinquent Bills) and Ordinance No. 2025-16 ("An Ordinance Amending Title VI, Article 12, Sections 2 and 3 of the Village Code" — Delinquent Bills and Lien-Notice of Delinquency).

Trustees approved the consent agenda containing those ordinance items on a 6-0 roll call. Trustee Wendi Alonzo made the motion to approve the consent agenda as established and Trustee LeeVon Harris seconded; the minutes record the full roll call vote as Allison, Alonzo, Cantrell, Dreher, Dreifurst, Harris — all "yes." The minutes do not record substantive debate on the ordinances during the meeting; each ordinance was adopted through the consent process rather than separate, contested readings.

The ordinances amend village code sections related to sewer-connection requirements, connection fees and procedures for delinquent accounts and liens. The minutes list the ordinance titles but do not include the ordinance texts or effective dates; those details must be obtained from the village clerk or the published ordinances for implementation specifics.
