President Timothy H. Owens told the board that farmer Josh Wakeley harvested the crop on the village's 62 acres and asked to lease the land for another year; the board agreed to keep the rent at $100 per acre. The board recorded its agreement during the president's report.
Engineer and staff discussed preliminary plat considerations for a proposed 62-acre commercial subdivision, including pond design dependent on entrances off IL-251 and IDOT's indication that direct access is not allowed but an internal road connecting to a village-owned roadway may be permitted subject to IDOT review.
