Summary

Council considered Resolution 64-2026, a statement of services for property at 3844 Briarwood Road pursuant to Section 709.03(D). The motion to adopt failed in a 3-3 tie (Yay: Campbell, Hudak, Smith; Nay: Beshara, Kruszynski, Stoppenhagen).

Council debated Resolution 64-2026, which would provide a statement of services the village would provide to property at 3844 Briarwood Road should annexation occur, as required by Section 709.03(D). Law Director Chojnacki clarified the application was for regular annexation, not expedited (Type 2).

After discussion about services and tax implications, council moved to suspend second and third readings and to adopt the resolution. The motion failed on a 3-3 roll call: Yays from Campbell, Hudak and Smith; Nays from Beshara, Kruszynski and Stoppenhagen. With the tie, the resolution did not pass.

Council members spoke about how annexation hearings proceed even if Council votes no; Chojnacki noted the procedural distinctions between regular and expedited annexation. The hearing on the annexation was noted as scheduled for Aug. 17 in related comments earlier in the meeting.
